A judge has granted an interim worldwide freezing order on the assets of former GFH Capital (GFHC) executive David Haigh following a hearing at the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts on Tuesday.

Will this affect the winding up partition in any way? maybe get it thrown out of court?

MC is claiming that the loan came direct from Haigh and not Sports Capital and therefore the money could be the proceeds of crime. Mc is trying to get the winding up order withdrawn before the hearing.

They are saying the winding up petition should be stopped as there is evidence the loan came for David Haigh himself and not from sport capital. If this is the case there could be evidence that the money loaned came from illegal activities and should not be repaid. GHF have said while he was in charge of LUFC invoices amounting to 5 million were false thus paid to DH. This they say is embezzlement of company funds and this I would guess is MC's position that the money loaned came from the embezzlement.

Just to add something more the unaccounted invoices were supposed to be for IT, Legal and hiring a company to investigate MC before the takeover. Actually just prior sport capital's agreed takeover deal.

Misappropriation of company funds to benefit yourself at the very least. His company get the green light, along comes MC, David didn't like that so got GHF to fund an investigation to try and discredit MC, so his company is the sole interested party. Hmmmmmm

Newcastle esquire about 8m offer for McCormack. Suppose many clubs will be asking. For me if we can get that to 9m sell him, even at 8m its great business

It's only good business if the money is re-invested on team building. Mind u tho, 8mill will buy all our targets and still have 7mill and change to spare

I have been told that Ross has a £5M release clause in his contract. I am not sure how these things work, but if this is the case I assume that any amount over the £5M will go to the player and not the club?

Nice to see your happy and positive as usual realitycheck

If the release clause is true (as you say) The £5 mill ONLY means he can talk to the club it doesn't mean LUFC will accept £5mill.

Remember Saurez release clause??

Ross doesn't want to leave anyway. Said it himself on twitter last night.

Have to agree with A.S., good business if we buy a new team!

8m if I was MC I would sell, get say 3-4 good potential types in and still have 2-3 m left over, good business and football business in my opinion.

It is good business if the money is reinvested wisely, but we have seen in the past that the money has just disappeared or used on wages for the likes of Hunt. Without Ross's goals last season we would have gone down.

For the last time; Suarez's clause was NOT a release clause. The bid triggered a CONTACT clause whereby the player was able to TALK to the prospective club but Liverpool were under no obligation to accept. If Suarez had handed in a transfer request, the sale to Arsenal could well have gone through but that would have meant Suarez would have missed out on a significant loyalty payment (and Liverpool would still be under no obligation to sell). This was a misunderstanding on the part of his agent and legal team who didn't read the contract properly and assumed it was a RELEASE clause which obliges the owning club to accept.
If Ross has a CONTACT clause or RELEASE clause, this has not been made public by his agent.
