    He never had a thing to be forgiven for, He wasn't a billionaire, he was a millionaire in a footballing world which was starting to demand billionaires to compete. A dent to short's finances, personal bankruptcy to a man like Murray. He couldn't afford us now either.

    Spot on.

    When he was the major shareholder his 'personal wealth' was estimated to be around £20mil.

    Good by normal standards but chicken feed when running a Football Club where 'the fans' were constantly screaming for more investment - from the Chairman, of course.
    Since he sold out and concentrated on his businesses his wealth is said to have increased to over £70mil, depending on which list you read.

    His greatest legacy to us fans turned out to be the move to the SSoL.

    He built it for about a net £16mil on the back of grants and the sale of Roker Park.

    Our Friends to The North spent about £80mil on improving the Stadium that they rent from the Council.

    The difference between having an accountant or a builder in the Chair. Arsenal's Stadium cost almost £400 mil to build.

    Sir Bob deserves nowt but praise from us.
