Barnsley fc owner in court
The owner of Barnsley Football Club appeared in court yesterday alongside three other former directors of an IT firm which he founded.
Club owner Patrick Cryne, Timothy Whiston, Stephen Graham and John Whelan are accused of conspiracy to make misleading statements to the stock market about iSoft.
The four men appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court yesterday and were granted unconditional bail. They are due before Southwark Crown Court on February 5.
iSoft, which was involved in the NHS software programme known as the National Programme for IT, has since been sold to Australian software firm IBA Health, which renamed itself iSoft.
