ZacNaloenAnton is personally rich enough up to a point (personal wealth estimated to be about the same as Peter Coates) but isn't rich enough to turn us into perennial European qualifiers like some were predicting when news broke. With Boris on board that would be possible. I suppose it depends what Anton's plans which he outlined to the Premier League are.
Where did you get that info on his personal wealth from?
but can't remember where I heard that nowZacNaloen :lol:
It's just i'd seen more like 30mil
SCIAGUkeUps and Downs You guys have no ambition. This could have reached 300 pages with the right sort of encouragement.
Personally, I think the mod who deleted 20 pages for his own amusement should be thrown off the board and then shot in the street.
You'll be redacted too!
The main thing about TSI seems is probably their inability to show the flow of funds openly and transparently so that anyone can see who is bankrolling the club
Since Leeds the PL want it to be clear where the money comes from - most clubs have owners like Ashley, Abramovich, Whelan or Mansoor so it's clear where the money flows from (even if it is "dirty")
Anton, just ain't personally rich enough
It isn't really "since Leeds", more like since Portsmouth. They had owners who didn't exist.

Peter Coates (born 13 January 1938) is a businessman and current owner of the Stoke City Football Club. He has been listed as the 25th richest person in British football.[2] He founded Bet365 in 2000, as well as Signal Radio in 1983.[3]
Tokyo Sex Whale I have it on very very good authority that Reading FC were a month ago enquiring about purchasing something of significant value (not a player) that would enhance/improve the clubs facilities and have very recently withdrawn their interest.

Friday's Legacy It's not a matter of Anton's wealth alone; it's his and his fathers wealth - and as I understand it, all directors involved also have to be checked out. AZ and BZ are both involved and have both provided proof of funds to the PL (as previously discussed). I'm only scanning conversations (some now deleted), but it seems to be that some people are still of the thinking that it's only AZ. CS has confirmed BZ is involved.
I spoke to a friend of mine today who confirmed, as another friend did yesterday, that it sounds like we're almost there. I was told today that the PL appear to be satisfied with who has what money; however, yesterday I was also told there remains a few questions needing answering. I can't elaborate on what those are yet, as I was asked to keep that to myself. But it does sound positive, and more of a case of when now and not if. Whether that is 2 weeks, 4 weeks or 8 weeks; it really doesn't matter as long as these people are deemed suitable to take ownership of this football club.

surely team strengthening depends who is actually holding the purse strings , so 8 weeks or even 4 weeks isn`t` really acceptable?

Yeah. Wikipedia. Isn't always right. Peter Coates is chairman of stoke city fc. The club is owned, ultimately by bet365. He only has a 7% share in bet365.
ZacNaloen So anyway according to stokes own website coates owns 93.7% of bet365...
