Quite a few of you asking yesterday who potential SUFC buyers ALK Capital LLC were. There is no reference to them online but Kevin McCabe's written witness statement says they are an 'investment vehicle' created by two people, Alan Pace and Dave Checketts #sufc #twitterblades
Alan Pace is a senior executive at US bank Citigroup who previously worked at now defunct US bank Lehman Brothers and at US football team Real Salt Lake. Checketts was Pace's boss at Real Salt Lake and also used to manage New York's Madison Square Garden #sufc #twitterblades
The witness statement says they visited the stadium in November 2017 and were 'impressed with what they saw'. It goes on to say that they wanted a 85-90% stake in the club and its real estate #sufc #twitterblades
However, while McCabe said in his evidence that he had reached an agreement with ALK to invest, he also made clear in court and in his witness statement that a deal had not yet been done because of the subsequent actions of the Prince and ensuing litigation #sufc #twitterblades

The final day of the second week of the Sheffield United ownership trial at the High Court will get underway at 10.30 with Yusuf Giansiracusa expected to finish giving his evidence. Nothing else newsworthy happening today is there? 👀 #sufc #twitterblades #TheresaMay

The final day of the first week of the Sheffield United ownership trial at the High Court will start at 10.30, with Kevin McCabe due to finish giving his evidence. I’ll be here all day tweeting updates of everything that happens #sufc #twitterblades
We’re still in discussions at the Star about who will be covering the rest of the trial. We’ll definitely have someone here next week though to hear Prince Abdullah give his evidence and I would imagine I’ll be back at some point #sufc #twitterblades
Also, I’ve noticed some discussion on Twitter based on a Sky News article saying the Bin Laden family loan never actually happened. That’s certainly not my understanding of what was said and neither of the parties’ legal teams have asked me to clarify #sufc #twitterblades

The fourth day of the Sheffield United ownership trial at the High Court in London gets underway at 10.30 this morning. Kevin McCabe’s evidence is expected to finish by early afternoon, by which time he will have been cross-examined for more than two days #sufc #twitterblades
A few people asking does that mean Prince Abdullah is up next. As I understand it that will take place next week and I’m not sure at this stage who will be called next. As soon as I find out I’ll let you know #sufc #twitterblades
Mr Gledhill begins by asking about the £3m loan again. Suggests emails between McCabe and Martin Green from October 2017 again show McCabe thought the Prince could make it go away ‘with a wave of the Royal wand’ #sufc #twitterblades

The board meeting in October 2017, which Chris Wilder attended to discuss the January transfer window budget, was held on 26/10/17 -two days later United beat Leeds to go top of the league. How important would that lack of funding be if #sufc hadn't won promotion this season?
Jeremy Tutton said Wilder's body language suggested he was 'totally underwhelmed' by the funds which would be made available to him #twitterblades
Andreas Gledhill QC said Mr Tutton was told not to make any SUL funds available for transfers by Kevin McCabe #twitterblades

Sheffield United’s 2017/18 financial results covered their first season back in the Championship after six years in League One, when they mounted an unlikely challenge for a play-off place before finishing a creditable 10th. Some thoughts in the following thread #SUFC
#SUFC reduced the loss from £5.7m to £1.9m, highlighting the “significant impact” of promotion. Revenue rose 76% (£8.7m) to £20.0m, but this was more than offset by the cost of operating in a higher division, as wages rose £8.9m (89%) to £19.0m & other expenses up £1.9m to £8.5m.
However, it is worth noting that #SUFC lower loss is essentially driven by higher profit on player sales, which rose £5.6m to £8.4m. If this is excluded, loss was actually larger in the Championship than League One. In addition, no repeat of prior season £0.6m player impairment.

Morning all. We are in court 26 of the Rolls Building awaiting the start of Day 9 of the Bates v Post Office common issues trial.
#postofficetrial
And we’re underway. Mrs Angela van den Bogerd being cross-examined by claimants QC Patrick Green. It’s her 7th hour in the witness box.
Public gallery much quieter than yesterday.
QC You would accept there are things that can be done to make Horizon more error repellent?
AB there are, yes.

This will be part of my next thread, but I couldn't wait. I think we've all read the McCabe leak investigation complaint incorrectly. My thread is mostly interested in the timing of that complaint, so I will throw this out here. I don't think this has to do with #FlynnLeaks
But if you look closely at the wording, this is about someone else leaking something #McCabe said about @GenFlynn & @realDonaldTrump. I think McCabe's comments about them were leaked to the media & this is the leak being investigated. I have to believe it's a leak to @true_pundit
On 3/14/17, True Pundit published an article alleging that in a conference call, McCabe told agents in early February "F*** FLynn & then we f*** Trump". This case was opened on the 15th! truepundit.com/exclusive-fbis…

#Statement | The negative and surprising attitude of #Canada is an entirely false claim and utterly incorrect.
#Statement | We have been briefed by what the #Canadian foreign minister and the Canadian embassy to the #Kingdom released on what they named "civil society rights activists", and we affirm that this negative and surprising attitude is an incorrect claim.
#Statement | The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia and is in contravention of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing relations between States.

#McCabe’s tragic lawsuit is a Hail Mary filing to buy time, oddly it’s against the @TheJusticeDept @JusticeOIG for not providing procedural manuals to explain how or why he was fired. Pretty sure they should be looking at OPM not FOIA anyway..,
Maybe GoFundMeLawyer was better, this one can’t even use the Internet.
Here’s how SES misconduct is handled #McCabe

Here you go @bsfllp 500+ pages of @JusticeOIG policy and procedure manual, so yes they were correct there are volumes of information disclosed this being Feb 2017
