shortfatb 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Bowkett is just another puppet in Delia''s evil campaign to run the world. Look at his pathetic career record as a doormat and lackey to others and his parlous record in business achievement or wealth generation. Now he comes crawling onto the board in his usual cringing way, cap in hand and out of his depth to board studded with starts ands winners. Typical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shortfatb 0 Posted July 6, 2009 I was kidding, I think Bowkett has kajunas. Maybe he convinced 70''s catalogue man to come on board to act as a media puppet, I don''t think D and MWJ would have the tactical nous to think of such underhand stuff themselves anymore.

kdncfc 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Doesn''t matter how much he''s worth, if he''s not prepared to put his hand in his pocket it will do us no good whatsoever. From the way he has spoken so far he has no intention of putting any of his wealth into the club unless he''s keeping it quiet but somehow I doubt that''s the case. Seem to remember the Turners were supposedly worth 400 million but the only cash we got from them was a 2 million pound loan leaving us even deeper in debt.

[/quote]As I mentioned before it seems that Bowkett has made his money by some shrewd deals and a lot of hard work (in the business sense). If he can somehow turn NCFC into a profitable business then expect to see him stump up some cash (as long as he is guaranteed a return). I still can only guess at how much he is worth, I''m waiting for smudge to come up with the definitive answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
