Rogue football sponsor Hugh Clarke boasted he would make a big money takeover of an SPFL club. The wannabe football supremo signed up for a series of big sponsorship deals but reneged on many, including deals with Livingston and Falkirk and basketball team Glasgow Rocks.
After Clarke was accused of holding back £1000 in wages to one worker at a chip shop he ran, he sent messages to supposedly prove his wealth. He wrote: “Tried to buy a team in the SPFL – same league as Rangers and Celtic. I will buy a SPFL club between now and 2022. That’s the last to tick off on my bucket list.”
Clarke also sent WhatsApp messages that made him out to be a multi-millionaire during disputes with staff at his firms over unpaid wages. Another message boasted: “I had four pubs when I was 25 with total property of £1,000,000.”
