Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia says he'd happily do business with the Bin Laden family.
He revealed the relatives of Osama Bin Laden had been in talks to buy the shareholding of former co-owner Kevin McCabe.
Prince Abdullah says he's angered when people refer to the family negatively, insisting Osama was a 'black sheep'.
"I get offended when people think bin Laden is a bad name, it’s a really good family. It had a black sheep as most families do but it’s a really respectable family and if I do business with them again, I’d be happy to", he said.
“It’s not a disgraced name. I was trying to help Kevin sell his shares, I never put mine for sale.
“The family were looking to buy Kevin’s shares, and the million they put was a downpayment to give them time to do due diligence and if they decided not to buy, the money was to be used as a loan for a year without any interest.
I’m usually tolerant but when people talk about bin Laden as a dirty family I get offended.
"It’s not my family to support but I think it’s the right thing to say.”
