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] On 26 April 2008 Haslam was attacked, he was punched and kicked by his own fans, he later required hospital treatment. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1098233.ece
Following an assault by one of his Mansfield Town fans Haslam announces that he will sell the football club but not the ground and he is currently holding the new owner to ransom. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/apr/28/mansfield.leaguetwofootball
