I believe they ran a Financial business, and needed to get back to managing it. They quit a few weeks before Lehman Brothers went under and the whole financial crisis kicked off. The Times said their net worth went from an estimated £255m in 2008 to £95m in 2009. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you look at wiki the football thing was only a side hustle for him having claimed to represent such luminaries as Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if that proposed purchase of shares ever actually went through though. Plenty of noise about it potentially happening, but the shares seemed to have stayed with the Jones family - unless anyone knows differently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted November 5, 2019 Bought mine before they did the share issue, I contacted Neil Doncaster and asked if I could buy some. After a search, I found on Page 411 Myself. MARTIN JAMES, ORDINARY SHARES - 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The information is usually readily available from the previous Annual Returns and Confirmation Statements. However, the 2002 Annual Return is one of the few that’s no longer available online. I suspect (and this touches on our exchange last week on another thread) that Jimmy Jones may have agreed to sell his shares, however, Giovanni Di Stefano also expected a seat on the board too. When the Club made it clear that wasn’t happening, his interest ceased and the share sale didn’t ever complete. That’s my hunch - I’ll leave it to others to decide whether, or not, that was a good or bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were not executive directors so that would hardly have interfered much with them running their business. I don't know the answer; but my suspicion has always been that they saw themselves as taking over the club in the long run, and for whatever reason they realised that was not going to happen.
