Good shout. Quick google The Ashok Piramal Group owns Pune Football Club. The family [Harsh Piramal, nephew of Ajay] said in 2012 they were looking to expand into overseas clubs.

About 1.6bn, himself as of 2013. The family / group seem to have money and all be in things together.

We're linked with the Arunachal Pradesh area of India for youth development work.

Pune is just below Mumbai to the west, slightly south, Arunachal is other side of the country, in the very most North East.

The other club we're connected with is Ernakulam Eagles, based in Kochi, which is west coast but a lot further South. [Eagles are in the I-League 2nd Division, Pune the 1st]. We have commitments to invest in Eagles if they get promoted, and the aim is for us to take young players from there to develop them towards being able to play in the Premier League [with the aim being first one breaking through in/by 2018]

The picture linked above was uploaded in December 2012. The nose I'm not sure I agree with you being that different, the fatter saggy cheeks - age?

This was him in January though. Certainly looks more different there than the images being cross referenced above.

Still, better the speculation than nothing.

I think the nose thing is just perspective and angle.

You wouldn't let me in...

FWIW Charles Watts isn't convinced they're the same guy either.

After watching the Sheffield Wednesday display you'd all probably not look much like your publicity photo - esp if you were considering buying the club
