🚨 SOME PERSONAL NEWS 🚨 Just a quick thread to say that sadly today is my last day at the Sheffield Star after just over three years. It is also my last day with JPI Media where I’ve worked for the almost six years.

Working first at the Derbyshire Times and then the Sheffield Star since 2015 has been so much fun and I have made some great friends who I will hopefully keep in touch with forever.

I’ve worked on some amazing stories in that time: some of them funny, some of them sad. But the only pictures of me I can find in the archive are from when I went to a cat cafe in Grassmoor for the Derbyshire Times.

But I really wanted a new challenge and I am very happy to say that from Monday, May 24, I will be working on the @sheffieldtrib, a new quality newspaper for Sheffield, working in partnership with @joshi and @ManchesterMill.

Amazingly there are well over 2,000 of you signed up already and we’ve had some great feedback on the briefings and articles we’ve published so far. Like this one about Park Hill flats.

And this fantastic in-depth look at the 2021 Sheffield local elections by our elections analyst Jason Leman.

On my way down to hear the verdict in the long-running High Court case into who owns Sheffield United. It seems like a long time ago that this happened... #sufc #twitterblades

@samcoopernews

As the trial drew to a close in mid June, this is a recap done by my (former 😢) colleague @samcoopernews which people might find useful to remind yourselves of all the twists and turns the case took #sufc #twitterblades

One the second last day of the trial, McCabe’s lawyer ran through the judge’s options as he saw them. The first two would see the two sides get the other’s shares for £5m. He said neither outcome would be fair.

The final day (hopefully) of the Sheffield United ownership case at the High Court in London will get underway at 10.30 this morning with closing arguments from Prince Abdullah’s lawyer, Andreas Gledhill QC #sufc #twitterblades

Just got into court and it’s much busier than it has been for the last few days I’ve been here. Kevin McCabe is back after being in Sheffield yesterday for the unveiling of the club’s new sponsor. Prince Abdullah not here at the moment though #sufc #twitterblades

Mr Gledhill begins by saying the case rests on two issues. One is the who caused the breakdown in the relationship between he parties and two is the alleged misfeasance of Prince Abdullah and Mr Giansiracusa over the contract and the ‘bribe’ #sufc #twitterblades

Currently my way down to London for the final two days of the Sheffield United ownership trial at the High Court. Seems like a long time since this happened #sufc #twitterblades

Today and tomorrow will feature closing oral arguments from both sides, with Paul Downes QC for Kevin McCabe up first. I think we’ll be going over evidence already heard so I’m not expecting any more major revelations like this one, which happened on day 4 #sufc #twitterblades

Yeah, so getting on the tube when it’s this hot is really horrible #sufc #twitterblades

This morning’s session in the Sheffield United ownership trial begins at 11 with more evidence from football finance expert Douglas Harmer. Later we will be hearing from two property valuation experts about the value of the assets associated with the club #sufc #twitterblades

And in other news, the weather is as bad down here as people tell me it is up there ☔️

We’ve begun now and Paul Downes QC is questioning Douglas Harmer about his valuation of the club. Picking up where we left off by talking about the ALK bid for the club that was being lined up by McCabe in late 2017 #sufc #twitterblades

The Sheffield United ownership trial at the High Court will get underway at 11.30 this morning, when they will begin looking at evidence about the value of shares in the club with two expert witnesses #sufc #twitterblades

As you will no doubt be aware by now I’m a only a simple-minded bloke from Bolton so some of it might be beyond me but I’ll do my best to keep up #sufc #twitterblades

Just got to court and for the first time in the case while I’ve been here Kevin McCabe isn’t here and neither is Prince Abdullah, although many of the other key players in the case are #sufc #twitterblades

The final day of Prince Abdullah’s evidence in the Sheffield United ownership trial is due to get underway at 10am. I’m currently on a train which was booked before they decided to bring today’s start time forward by half an hour! #sufc #twitterblades

We’ve also had a bit of a delay due to a problem with the track near Milton Keynes but I’m still hopeful I’m going to get to the court on time! If not I’ll only be five or ten minutes late #sufc #twitterblades
