News about Malcolm Smith

The owners of Leeds United FC, 49ers Enterprises, have sold a minority interest in the 104-year-old team to a part owner of the NHL's Seattle Kraken. 49ers Enterprises, the San Francisco-based NFL franchise, sold a portion of Leeds's to Ackerley Partners and are considering another investor as the club seeks a Premier League promotion. According to a statement seen by Bloomberg, Ackerley Partners completed the deal over the summer. The new partnership's aim is to increase Leeds' football and commercial operations with strategic capital.

On February 22, 2022, Jenny Smith (pictured with her son Joseph), 37, and her 17-year-old son Joseph were discovered in their Marmion Road home near Sefton Park in Liverpool. Ms Smith was discovered in the main bedroom under a duvet, while Joseph was discovered in a makeshift bed on the living room floor. Both the men died as a result of a massive overdose of fentanyl, a potentiophore 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to toxicology tests. The coroner Anita Bhardwaj said the tragic deaths of both mother and son raised concerns that would likely never be answered at an inquest at Gerard Majella Court (right).
