New Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says he would have no issues with the Bin Laden family investing in the Premier League club.
Abdullah recently won an acrimonious high court battle to gain full control of the newly promoted side and has since installed 26-year-old son-in-law Prince Musaad as the new chairman.
And after being presented to the media, the 54-year-old, who is worth a reported $23bn (R340bn), responded to suggestions that he will seek investment from Bin Laden Construction.
Despite the company being one of the most succesful in its field throughout the Middle East, the reputation of extremist relative Osama Bin Laden, who has since passed on, has brought questions marks around the idea within British media.
While the surname is synonymous with the late al-Qaida terrorist, who was said to have ordered the '9-11' attack on the New York Twin Towers in 2001, Prince Abdullah claims it should not give the rest of the family a 'bad name'.
"I get offended when the Bin Laden family is given a bad name," he said, as per The Guardian. "Every family may have one bad person, one black sheep, but they are very respectable.
