    That's obviously nonsense, his net worth over ten years ago was put on record at £25m (and that was for his divorce, so will have been much less than it really was) and he's got much more successful over the past decade.

    These things are always just speculation anyway, nobody knows for sure, but $100m seems to be what most have it as.

    Dunno who calls it that but I certainly don't. Might be people of a certain generation.

    We can add lack of history education to lack of a sense of humour in some cases. Rare admittedly.

    It's deffo called Manchester here in queensland. I looked up the reasoning years ago and it's something to do with the cotton for bed sheets etc coming from the cotton Mills in Manchester.

    I spent some time in Perth, WA in the late 1990s. Definately Manchester in Perth. One store had a Manchester department.

    It was the same in Zimbabwe. There was a Manchester Department, but no Hull Department.

    I think I've seen it as a category at the shops but I more meant around the house referring to linen I wouldn't call it Manchester. I know the etymology of it but I think as I said it's of a certain generation and it's gradually being weaned out.

    first one to divorce him’ll get £50m, second’ll get £25m.

    Leaving him with barely a pot to piss in.

    In a nutshell he can’t afford Hull City and two wives!
