From the Daily Mail in the UK - just to show Dibo etc that it's not just West Ham that McCabe sues when he doesn't get his own way - just as well the Club Tuggerah members voted to sell him the club else he might have taken them to court too...
Charles Sale: Sheffield steeled for court battle
Last updated at 12:01 AM on 05th January 2010

Sheffield United have started legal action over the choice of Sheffield
Wednesdays Hillsborough ground as a potential stadium for the 2018 World
Cup ahead of Bramall Lane.
United believe Wednesday have been shown favouritism by Sheffield City
Council in the speed with which planning permission was granted for
renovations included in their bid. It is claimed the process took a matter
of weeks, when such an application can take years. United, who had been
firm favourites and had worked closely with the Council in the Sheffield
tender, are taking their complaints to the Ombudsman before seeking an
independent judicial review, if necessary. Wednesdays extra room for fan
zones and so forth outside the ground won them the vote. But there are major
doubts at United, who have the advantage of a wealthy owner in Kevin McCabe
and a more modern ground, that Wednesday can fund their building work
through cash flow, as they have promised. Uniteds sense of injustice has
not been tempered by the fact that the citys most influential politicians -
David Blunkett, Angela Smith, Roy Hattersley and Clive Betts - are all
Wednesday supporters.
