Steven Posted 17 April 2014 Share Posted 17 April 2014 I wonder how much it costs to fly first class from Bangkok to London and I wonder how many times he or his family makes this journey. How long until it pays for itself??? I know it is 4500ish Euros from Frankfurt and Paris. Apparently it is about £4000 from Heathrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 17 April 2014 Share Posted 17 April 2014 Someone emailed me this morning about this. Strange it's doing the rounds now given that the article itself is over six months old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promised land Posted 17 April 2014 Share Posted 17 April 2014 Beats Martin George's cronky helicopter !! Robinson R22, about the cheapest helicopter you can buy, I think 2nd hand ones start around £40K, brand new ones are the price of a supercar, £160K. I wouldn't want to be in one though, they don't look the sturdiest of flying machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 18 April 2014 Share Posted 18 April 2014 The more I think about it, it sounds like a little celebratory present to himself. It pales my celebrations into insignificance. Sheeet, if he's happy to spank 72m on plane, what's he ready to fork out on the team? I hope there's some restraint! Showing the world you've got money to throw about might skew the prices we'll have to pay. I just hope they don't tell everyone what budget they've got....again.

It could well be a business move as well, when he is not using it chartering it out to help pay back the cost. As for his wealth in the Prem, I think he is along way down the wealthy list. Sheik Mansour must be top with around $49 billion and a combined family wealth of $500 billion, then the Russian at Chelsea or Arsenals owner. A long way in front of our owners worth.

Never said their wealth was anywhere near theirs. but when you look at the wealth that has been heavily invested in the lower/mid table teams, and the fortunes they mistakenly splashed out on, whilst having the pleasure of being shafted... flexing your wallet before one of the most crucial transfer windows in the last ten years probably isn't the brightest move.

Pretty sure everyone already realises that a bloke famous for being a billionaire business owner is going to have a few bob. Makes no difference to the football whatsoever.

Makes no difference to the football whatsoever. If he's willing to overpay on one luxury item, he'll possibly be happy to pay over the odds on football luxury, that's the point I'm making. And I'm hoping this isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
