Behind the white railings
Fat To**er said:Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has bought a 50 per cent share in Sheffield United for £1. A member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, with a business worth roughly £130m, he has set a return to the Premier League as his goal.
It is worth remembering, however, that the compensation over the Carlos Tevez affair already gave the club many extra millions following their relegation to the Championship, and United contrived to fall yet further into League One, where they presently sit 19th. It is not only about the money, but how you spend it.
On Saturday, travelling Sheffield United supporters taunted fans of Rotherham United with chants of 'We're richer than you.' Rotherham won 3-1.
Talk about bearing a grudge.
