Keith Haslam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keith Haslam is the majority shareholder (via a holding company called Stags Ltd) and CEO (and also ex-chairman) of Mansfield Town. Haslam amassed personal and inter-company loans of over £1,000,000 at their peak[1]. It is understood that he still owes the club part of the value of his personal loan, and he refuses to consider the paying back of the inter-company loan as important to the football club[2].

[edit] Haslam Times

Haslam Times is a series of leaflets that has been circulated around Field Mill by pressure group Stags Fans For Change (SFFC)and given out to fans. The leaflets each focus on a particular area of the club's poor performance whilst Haslam has been the owner of the club, the scandal over his personal and inter-company loans, the profitable income of the club during its successful promotion season of 2001 / 02 and the subsequent few seasons (whilst Haslam was increasing these loans[3]), and the results of a survey conducted by the SFFC asking supporters of the club if they wanted Haslam to leave the club with immediate effect (to which 88% responded 'Yes').[4].
