Unit Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 http://fourfourtwo.com/lists/richlist200910thefull100.aspx some interesting stuff in there, beckham worth twice as much as milan etc. I always assumed that mandaric was worth more than 50mil, i'm sure somebody on here was talking 100-200mil?
Sir Fynwy Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 I'd be surprised if Milan is worth £50m, £30m-£40m seems more like it but it is difficult to value some of his business interests.
davieG Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 55th - that's why we were comfortable with him at the helm in the 3rd tier.
Jimothy Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 First thing I noticed when the page opened was 99th, Arsene Wenger, Age 68. Bollocks is he 68! More like 58. Always makes me think if they get a basic fact like that wrong the rest of the list is probably bull aswell.

Jimothy Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 I think he has just had his 60th Birthday.Simon Actually I checked, because I'm a geek, he's 60 on the 22nd of this month.
StanSP Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 Actually I checked, because I'm a geek, he's 60 on the 22nd of this month. So he's neither 58 or 68.
StanSP Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 Might as well add this: http://www.thebluearmy.co.uk/news/Milan-Ma...il/article.html Leicester City chief executive Lee Hoos has hinted cash could be made available for manager Nigel Pearson to bolster his squad in the January transfer market, if City are within striking distance of the play-offs.Hoos warned the club's future would not be put at risk again after the trauma of going into administration in 2002, but he said the finances were much stronger now and they were looking to continue the club's progress. "We need to run the business sensibly, that is for sure, but we also need to take the club forward," he said. "If we are in sight of the Premiership we have to be able to grasp that opportunity, but that is a question that is probably best answered in January. "What we don't want to do is get the club into massive problems. The trick is to maintain the balance." Promotion back to the Championship has certainly helped swell the club's coffers, but Hoos admitted owner Milan Mandaric had been making up any financial shortfalls. However, with fans flocking back to the Walkers Stadium, inspired by the performances of Pearson's side, Hoos said the club was getting stronger by the year. "Milan is the one who has put his money where his mouth is in terms of this club and where it is going," said the chief executive. "There were losses last year and the year before, and he plugged the gap really. "Hopefully we are getting to that point now where we can press forward. "Milan has got his goals in mind. He is very objective-orientated and he wants that objective realised. "The club is getting there financially," he added. "Obviously, the year before last was a huge step backwards, but sometimes you have to take a step backwards to make two steps forward. "I think we have done that in terms of how we are getting organised on and off the pitch. "Our last home game, the Preston game, was the fourth-best gate that weekend, and the Ipswich gate that day was only bigger because they held a tribute to Sir Bobby Robson. That bumped their gate up substantially. "We are there and we have people coming back who have taken an absence from the club. "Hopefully, they like what they see. There is a new ethos around the place and it is about taking it forward." Hoos said Pearson was a major part of the feel-good factor at the Walkers Stadium and he hailed the impact of the City boss. "Nigel is a winner," he said. "He wants to win and that is his whole ethos. "Sometimes you have to grind out a result and sometimes you can play pretty football. "It is about being able to adapt to do what we need to do to get a result. That is what is impressive about the man." The credit crunch may have crippled many businesses but the loyalty of City's supporters has meant the impact of the current challenging economic climate has not been felt too dramatically at the club, said Hoos. "Football is different to other businesses because there is such an emotional attachment to football. People really want to stay in involved," he said. "For many supporters it is a case of getting the mortgage paid, food on the table and then a ticket for Saturday's game, in that order of priority. "That says a lot for both the club and the game itself. "People want to be involved because the club is part and parcel of their every day life. "It is the cornerstone of their life."
hairy Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 What would be more interesting would be a list of the richest people in football who want to invest money in it. For example, QPR have received very little from their owners despite their placing in the top 100 and what they have received has only been loaned. The owners have however spent £10m but thats was on upgrading the executive suites at Loftus Road. Chelsea on the other hand a different story.

Yeah it is a little misleading when you consider that Mittal only has a 20% stake in QPR, and therefore offers nothing too substantial financially. However, with Briatore gone we might just see a bit more involvement from him eventually.
Ford Super Sunday Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 I'd prefer him to be 55th richest man in the world, if i'm honest...
sdb Posted 8 October 2009 Posted 8 October 2009 that list looks like a load of (poor) guess work to me
