We know all the Directors Isaac. It is confirmation of who is behind WPL that is the issue. We know Lenaghan has provided a large debenture (£1m from memory) to WPL. 50% of WPL is owned by a trust. Because it is a trust, it is not currently possible to identify who the trust beneficiarys are and therefore who officially has 50% of WPL."Isaac" wrote:It's quite easy to find out who the directors of any company are via companies house (for a fee), I don't imagine this is beyond Kassam."neilw" wrote:"I have no idea why the club owners are so cloistered about WPL's ownership. What is the problem?" ....... Consider this: "Hi Mr Kassam, we are WPL, a consortium backed by the extremely wealthy Mr Lenaghan. How much money would you like for your football stadium, Sir". Not great for negotiating and not the best for OUFC, I'd suggest.
It's a weird one though, there must be a reason for the lack of an announcement.
I did hear a rumour that Mr L has a financial stake in another football club, which might explain why he wants to keep quiet for now. I've also heard rumours that he has dealt with Kassam before and that they don't get on and that might be a contributory factor. That it is a trust may of course be a simple tax saving measure and a complete red herring.
