Big Vince 317 Posted January 24, 2018 It has been reported today that the former Brazil striker is looking to buy a second-tier club in England or Spain.He has a net worth reputed at $150 million. Clearly not megabucks by today''s standard, but still a lot more than the Suffolk Socialists. Even if he put in just £5-8 million a year it might just help keep the team together and progress rather than sell everyone off and go for League 1 instead.Will Wynnie for once in his life set aside his xenophobia and prove that he has nothing against foreigners who are Brazilian? Surely he should at least speak to the boy. After all, he could have great contacts in Brazil and Spain and a bit of samba dancing on the pitch at half-time would surely liven up the place, as it is currently dead.

Bizarrely James Madison looks like 20 million+ nearly the same value as the whole business! That puts the financial gulf into perspective.So after buying the team for 30 million plus costs Ronaldo will have 60-70 million which I hazard is the same new worth as MWJ and DS give or take a few 10''s millions.Unless he has significantly more money than 105 million there is no chance...or maybe he would be the face of some oligarch investors with billions which is more likely.250 million for a new custodian (sensible and organic), or 5 billion + and do a wolves required at least.No fool is gong to want to spend all their wealth on Norwich city.

JF 694 Posted January 24, 2018 Ive not seen the story but I’d imagine that the reality is that he is the face of a consortium that’s looking to buy a club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwans Big Toe 309 Posted January 24, 2018 The only Ronaldo likely to be allowed to buy the football club is the one who sells ice-cream down London Street. Don''t forget this is a local club for local people.On a slight side note, I did find this footage from the last Norwich City board meeting, you can quite clearly make out Delia and Winnie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vFe2a29hms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
