    Can't find the original thread, but wanted to post this article, as it makes interesting reading. I'm soooo glad these clowns aren't running our club any more.

    Former Leeds United owners GFH chiefs plotted to get two club officials sacked
    • GFH chief Hisham Alrayes and colleague Salem Patel actively sought evidence against Shaun Harvey and Gwyn Williams
    • Harvey had his contract honoured in full when he left the club
    • Williams was dismissed for using work email to send 'lewd' picture
    • Email exchanges reveal the GFH pair plotted to sack Harvey and Williams
    An extraordinary email exchange demonstrates the efforts made by former Leeds owners GFH Capital in trying to prove two well-known club officials committed gross misconduct.

    The messages, leaked to Sports Agenda, implicate Gulf Finance House chief Hisham Alrayes and colleague Salem Patel, a Leeds director, in attempting to find enough evidence against Shaun Harvey and Gwyn Williams to prevent them from getting a pay-off.

    Harvey, now chief executive of the Football League, had his contract honoured in full when he left Leeds, but former technical director Williams started his £250,000 case for unfair dismissal this week.

    Williams was dismissed for using a club email account to send a ‘lewd and obscene’ picture to former Leeds colleague Dennis Wise. The picture of a naked woman in a shower was part of a ‘dirty Leeds’ joke email doing the rounds.

    Alrayes wrote to a GFH employee at Leeds on July 23, 2013: ‘I believe we should continue to find ways to dismiss Shaun and Gwyn for gross misconduct. We should also let the investigation firm find more information on them so we can use it against them.’

    Patel emailed a Leeds colleague on the same day, writing: ‘As per Hisham instruction, please can you provide a list of breaches of Gwyn and Shaun.’ Patel to Alrayes: ‘We talked through the items we have but still need specific proof for Shaun and Gwyn.’

    Again from Patel to Alrayes: ‘Even still, we need to pay them as regular until we have something concrete which can prove gross misconduct. By not paying, we trigger a process which can be very damaging to the club.’

    Another email between the GFH pair read: ‘Gwyn — we should pay him tomorrow otherwise we leave ourselves open for constructive dismissal and breach of contract. Before next pay date we need to find strong evidence of gross misconduct, otherwise we have to pay him as per redundancy process.

    ‘Shaun — we should pay him tomorrow. However if we can prove gross misconduct, we may be able to claw back some of the change of control provision. Suggest investigating all his bank accounts to see if he was receiving bribes.’

    Harvey declined to comment, as did GFH.

    Looks like Harvey may well be appearing at a few court cases, and hopefully, something will happen to make the FL drop him.

    Whitejock, which clowns are you referring to ?!

    Unbelievable to put this stuff in writing. You monitor emails to try and dig dirt on people, but it doesn't occur to you that the same might happen to you

    I was referring to the GFH 'gangsters', but thinking about it, it could easily apply to all of the players in the story.
