Yesterday, two clubs felt compelled to resign from their league, Whyteleafe FC @WhyteleafeFC and Abingdon Town FC @theabbotts_1870 after their ground had been purchased by @iramasports
So I spent the day doing some digging.
Pull up a chair. Have a seat around the fire.
Before starting I want to be clear I'm not alleging any illegal or illicit activity from anyone named in this thread. What I *am* claiming is that there are some unpallatable and greedy business practices in play.
Right, here we go.
@iramasports recently purchased three English football grounds - the grounds of Abingdon Town, Whyteleafe and Brighouse Town.
So why did two of those clubs feel compelled to resign from their league yesterday?
Both had their ground bought by @iramasports and were unable to 'negotiate' a new lease.
Irama Sports proudly proclaim they are "powered by Ian Rush" @ianrush_9
Irama's website says that Rush should not "be held responsible for any of IRAMA'S acts" which is probably for the best considering how toxic the company looks today.
Stuart Harvey is also the founder, CEO and a shareholder in Righttrades Management Ltd. You may already have known this. But there’s so much to the story that you haven’t heard yet.
