Thanks but no thanks, Shels tell Di Stefano

SHELBOURNE have ruled out any possible deal with controversial lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano.

A statement released by the club yesterday represents an abrupt u-turn after they had previously indicated they were willing to meet Di Stefano about his publicly expressed desire to invest in the club.

Football fan Di Stefano had made headlines at the end of last week when the man who has represented Saddam Hussein and Patrick 'Dutchy' Holland revealed that he planned to meet with Shels officials in Dublin to discuss a major investment in the club.
