multisync1830 SPARTA 3points daddy's money was used to fund the initial purchase, but AZ had to find the rest to "prove" himself to daddy that he's a "serious" businessman. AZ failed, hence no purchase of the remaining 49%. AZ is done at Reading FC, and there's no money coming from any source in Russia. We will be tightening the purse strings in January.
No one actually knows that though, do they?! A few fans claim to be ITK and say that's the case, but AZ has an estimated personal wealth of approx £100m himself, and TSI is supposed to be a group of investors. This is partly why the FAPPT was delayed as not all of them wanted to be known. Anton is merely the face of TSI. Even if you shrug that off for thinking it's wrong, perhaps we've been mislead etc; Anton still has his own money! If my son had money to invest in something but asked me to spend mine instead, I'd tell him to jog on...
I am curious as to where this estimate of 100m for his personal wealth came from as my hunch is that cannot be anywhere near true as he has always been an employee of his father and hence unlikely to have been in a position to amass that not inconsiderable sum
In his own right Anton is worth more than that, The Sun got closer to the mark a year ago.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... mmand.htmlAZ declared slightly under that himself, and declared for BZ £3.14bn to the Premier League [I've seen the documents]. The £3.14bn [about a quarter of what Mittal is worth] was subsequently leaked.
Evidence held shows that BZ is worth
a bit more than that........ but BZ's finances have certainly come under a fair amount of scrutiny, the only two other chairmen with files held here about their fortunes are also Russian, funnily enough.
at what goes on here. A lot of it really is
