THE chairman of Kilmarnock Football Club, Mr Bobby Fleeting, was sued
for #30,000 yesterday by a public house chain.
The group claims it had to pay out the money on roof repairs after
buying Shenanigans Bar in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, from his firm.
Mr Fleeting is defending the action at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.
The action was taken by Eagle Taverns, of Paisley, against the
Fleeting Organisation and its two directors, Mr Fleeting and his brother
Jim.
The Fleeting group went into liquidation two years ago. Mr Jim
Fleeting, who now works as an SFA coach after resigning as Kilmarnock
manager, was sequestrated last year with debts of around #1m.
Mr Kirk Tudhope, solicitor for Mr Bobby Fleeting, said an adjournment
was needed.
The case was continued until January 19.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
