Controversial businessman Stephen Vaughan dies as son hails 'best man I've ever known'

Controversial Liverpool businessman Stephen Vaughan has died, his son has announced. The former football club owner's death was announced by his son, of the same name, in a Facebook post. Stephen Vaughan Jr, a former Liverpool reserves player, posted on social media: "Absolutely devastated the best man I've ever known RIP Dad our hero." Vaughan's football legacy is controversial after her bought Chester in 2001 from American Terry Smith and oversaw the club's promotion back to the Football League in 2004. The club ran into financial difficulty and collapsed into administration with debts of £8 million following relegation in 2009 – the same year Mr Vaughan also became the first owner to fail the Football Association's 'fit and proper person' test.

They were alleged to have occurred between March, 2005, and March, 2006. The Liverpool-born businessman was also over the years a boxing promoter, a director of rugby league club Widnes Vikings and owner and chairman of Barrow. In late 2009 Mr Vaughan was disqualified from acting as the director of any company for 11 years following his involvement in an alleged £500,000 VAT fraud while he was owner of Widnes Vikings. Posting on Facebook, Liverpool-born former boxer Derry Mathews wrote: "They say he only takes the best and he's taking one of the greatest men ever, my first ever manager who got George out of retirement to train me, thank you for everything Ste people in the boxing world are going miss you. "No one could do a prep talk before a fight like you, you would have me wanting to walk through walls and with you by my side in changing rooms we could beat anyone. Gutted for my mate @stephen_vaughan_85, Pat and all the family on the loss. Goodnight God bless Ste." Mr Vaughan also bought Maltese club Floriana in April 2012 with his son, who captained Chester during his father's ownership and was appointed president soon after. The Vaughan family ended its association with Floriana in February 2014 but continued to have an involvement in Maltese football as sponsors of Mosta and Hibernians. The off-duty policeman died after he was struck in Colquitt Street in the early hours of Friday, December 19. His son's Facebook post was filled with tributes from friends and family, with many simply posting 'RIP' and broken heart emojis, while another said: 'So sorry to hear this sad news Ste, condolences to you and the family'. A second added: 'Condolences to the family Ste! What a gent your dad was!' And a third said: 'So sorry to hear this awful news about your Dad RIP. Sending my deepest sympathy and condolences and prayers to you and all your beautiful family.'

Early look at EU energy labels suggest no IP rating upgrade for Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7

Evan Blass TL;DR Leaked EU energy labels have revealed key specs for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE. The labels highlight each device's IP rating, battery capacity, and battery endurance. The devices' repairability and free-fall reliability ratings are also included. Samsung is having a tough time keeping a lid on its upcoming foldables. In just the past few days, a flood of leaks has revealed key details about the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE, from their design to their specifications. Now, a fresh report has revealed additional information about the devices' IP rating, battery endurance, and other notable features. In the EU, manufacturers are required to provide an easy-to-read energy label for their products to help buyers choose more energy-efficient devices. For smartphones, this energy label includes supplementary details such as battery capacity, battery endurance, and IP rating, along with repairability and drop resistance scores. Tipster Mystery Lupin recently uncovered the energy label for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and now the folks at YTECHB have dug up similar labels for the Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Galaxy Z Flip 7 According to the energy labels, all three devices will have an IP48 dust and water resistance rating, suggesting no improvement over last year's models. This is a bummer, especially since a rival model already offers an IP59 rating. The flagship Galaxy Z Fold 7 could feature a rated battery capacity of 4,272mAh, with the battery expected to retain 80% charge for up to 2,000 charge cycles. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Galaxy Z Flip 7 Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature a battery with a rated capacity of 4,174mAh and offer the same battery endurance as the high-end foldable. As indicated in previous leaks, the entry-level Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could pack a smaller battery with a rated capacity of 3,887mAh, which may retain 80% of its charge for up to 1,700 cycles. The energy label awards all three devices with an A rating for repeated free-fall reliability, but only a C for repairability. As revealing as these energy labels may be, it's best to take the details with a grain of salt.
