    Steve L is one very very very rich man-

    The latest Forbes list puts him at joint 974th of the richest people in the world. He is one of only 20 or so billionaires identified as living in the UK: -**http://www.forbes.co...stephen-lansdown/*To put it into context :Bill Gates is no.2, Roman Abramovich is no.106, Donald Trump is no.423.Tiger Woods the worlds highest paid sportsman still, but is only worth £78 million, Lansdown is worth 20 times that.*Sir Alan Sugar does not feature on the same list as Steve Lansdown.*Lansdown is ranked as being as rich as Boston Red Sox owner John Henry.Mohammed Al Fayed is ranked lower than Lansdown at number 1031 on the list..Vincent Tan is ranked lower still at no.1107 with $1.3 billion.*We have a very rich owner: -*http://www.telegraph...aire-elite.html.

    Not in his bank account, a majority of this is in assets and property.

    Bit like you, you have your business which will have a value of x but you only have y in the bank account.

    I can only dream of his wealth fair play to the pair of them,i live well and have enough,you can only spend so much.
    I sure am not short of money,but i know what you mean my true wealth is tied up in my properties and business valuation,hard cash in the bank is a different thing altogether.<ok>

    Maybe he should go hang out with Mr Abramovitch.
    He might learn how to run a football club (and what it actually costs to be successful)

    Speculate to accumulate

    Sadly we have to say for all the money spent,The club finds itself in a very very poor position.

    The people at the top have to take the blame, as the debts were created by them,and the same debts have been wiped out by the people that created them.
