city-till-i-die 7 Posted July 1, 2008 Hi all ncfc fans :) there are alot of people doubting that pc will stump up the £36 mil needed to take control of our beloved club. Heres a little something to think about....this guy is worth 1.7 billion as we all know...with this much money the bloke has probably done nearly everthing he wants to do so far in his life..........except own the football club he has supported since a boyAs a canary fan and im sure u will all agree...if we all had this much money im sure that £36 million needed to own the football club u love outright would just be loose change to a fortune of £1.7 billion...so why wouldnt PC think excactly the same as any other canary fan????Hopefully PC will take control and give us some much much needed funds to put us back were we belong....THE PREMthnx for readingany thoughts i would love to read them :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m sure that Delia and Cullum will be throwing valuations at each other in the coming months and may come to a deal yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos Valderrama 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Actually Rum I think he has 1.7bn available as capital. I am sure I read somewhere that he sold a chunk of his portfolio for a similar amount. I think the guy is actually worth more if you add his assets to this amount, around 4bn.That said, I am doing this from memory so I maybe completely wrong.

James Kent 0 Posted July 1, 2008 His worth is based off his business if he were to sell. It appears he is not ready for that yet, so it real terms he has about 60 million available does he want to spend that all on the club. One would hope that the deadlock can be broken. But it isn''t as simple as going into his bank account he would have to sell assets to release the cash. What is interesting his his says in his interview 3 years ago he will pay top dollar for good businesses and I''m sure a deal will be done but 40 million is a more likely figure.

Bury Yellow 2 Posted July 1, 2008 No he didn''t say that. He also did not say that he wanted control of the club for £20mill. The amount mentioned was for player purchase only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
