Allegations against Al Fayed didn’t come as ‘biggest surprise’: former manager says staff aware about owner’s interest in ‘young, blond girls’

Former Fulham football team manager Gaute Haugenes recently revealed that the club’s female players were protected from the late owner Mohamed Al Fayed due to concerns about his interest in young, blonde girls. This comes after a BBC documentary aired with allegations of assault and misconduct by Fayed from over 20 women who worked at Harrods. The legal team representing women accusing Fayed of abuse has received over 150 new inquiries, with claims involving girls as young as 15 or 16. Fulham is investigating whether any staff members were affected and encourages individuals with information to come forward. The legal team suspects more victims from other places where Fayed worked may come forward.
