Marseille ask for fans to be allowed to travel to Nice Posted: 28 Mar 2013 09:20 AM PDT
OM said on their website (http://www.om.net) today that they made the request after an Interior Ministry decree banned their fans from travelling to the Cote D'Azur on security grounds. Some 800 fans had planned to attend the game at the Stade du Ray on Sunday (1200 GMT). For safety reasons ahead of what is considered a high-risk game, the Nice prefectural office had planned to deploy some 200 extra state policemen. Marseille are third in the standings with 51 points from 29 games, three points ahead of fifth-placed Nice. — Reuters |
Leeds sell stake to Bahrain’s International Investment Bank Posted: 28 Mar 2013 09:13 AM PDT
Dubai-based GFH Capital bought The Championship (second division) club in December after protracted negotiations lasting more than six months and despite concerns over their financial firepower. Rumours the new owners were planning a swift exit first surfaced in media reports last month but they reiterated last week that they were only looking to sell part of their share in the club. "The introduction of IIB is in keeping with what have always been GFH Capital's aims for the successful, sustainable and long term ownership of Leeds United FC," David Haigh, deputy chief executive of GFH Capital, said on the club website (http://www.leedsunited.com). IIB's chief executive, Aabed Al-Zeera, will join the Leeds City Holdings Limited. Leeds, who suffered financial problems and dropped down the leagues after reaching the 2001 Champions League semi-finals, are 10th in the Championship and retain only slim hopes of making the playoffs for a place in the lucrative Premier League. — Reuters |
