Far from milking us dry, he's not transferred a single asset without transferring an equal amount of debt or reducing his loans to the club of the same sum as the asset value. That's the he trouble with facts. People don't like them and ignore them, no matter how daft it makes them look.

It's fantasy to suit your agenda. I did ask you to stick to facts.

Now which work has he got because he's owner of a lower league club?

“United known as the Blades after Sheffield’s steel industry played a crucial part in the international reach of Mr McCabes business”

That is a quote from a Financial Times article on KM , now if I knew how to put links up on my phone I would do it but I don’t , alternatively google search Financial Times rules for doing business in China Kevin McCabe .

It also shows how things panned out in China for him after the Desun shirt deal.

The first FT hit also stated that he had been doing business in China for years.,since 2002.


"Scarborough Holdings Ltd has been headquartered in Hong Kong along with an office in Shenzhen, China since 2002.

During this time our businesses have flourished and while still concentrating primarily on real estate, we have diversified into the consumer sector in order to take advantage of China’s buoyant markets and opportunities. We are highly regarded in the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong, having been one of the first privately owned UK companies in the 21st century to be actively involved in the real estate and consumer markets."



2002. Before Chengdu Blades, Before promotion to the PL,


The notion that he became rich on the back of United is a joke. We had one year in the PL and until last season ten years of failure. I bet that really impressed Chinese investors.



Go on, what's next?

Who said he had got rich off the back of United ?

I have said that being owner of SUFC
Has opened doors for him in business and the FT article backs that up and what he has lost on United he has gained in the extra business and probably more.

Give it up Chingo.

I get that you hate him but not everyone does mate.

I don’t hate anyone but I would say I don’t like him and how he does things but that business men for you.

Why should I give it up , why didn’t you tell Holden to give it up ?

Quite right Rod.......hate is just a word....bit like some words used to complain about some players, appalling etc. Some people actually add expletives to show the strength of feeling. Perhaps all over the top but gives us discussion points if nothing else.

I still say, "thanks" to Mr McCabe.

You're not the only one who feels strongly about McCabe's stewardship of the club. Sometimes it's not worth the bother of the argument, though. There are people on here - myself included - who have very strong views both for and against our chairman, and neither group is going to change their position based on debate with their opposite numbers. I've grown to realise it's futile and brings out the worst in people.

How can it back you up when it doesn't even mention the presence in China and Hong Kong well before that date?

Possibly because I'm stating facts not rumour?

You're ill informed and will believe anything negative about him. There's more than enough to be critical of him without resorting to fantasy about his business dealings.
