Can't be right surely? So his son would be considerably less wealthy...

I know you're desparate to piss on this but... like most of these articles... do you think they actually know anything?

If you were worth $250m would you donate $200m to charity?  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41587429

Not desperate to piss on it, I hope they prove me completely wrong, it all just seems very Lai like. And that has me concerned. I saw the $200m donation, but that won't really be from his own wealth. Even in Borin's copy n paste above it quotes$400m, again that's the dad.

So the dad's worth is around $325m... that's the dad. the son has control over a business that has about $2bn investments.

these aren't the massively wealthy owners we were promised by some ITKers, it hasn't happened when was said by some ITKers, in short, i'm concerned that if it is these then we might only be better off in that we won't need a fire sale, hopefully I'm wrong.

Oh and for full measure the dad's company was involved (with the dad being named in the suit) in a case when some whistle blower showed their business was doing dodgy stuff, that cost them £31m so they're no against bending rules too, which could impact the fit people's test? (or could be why it's the son doing this and not the dad directly?0

These are more a meh than a wow, to me.

The world has changed, owners can't simply pump money into clubs. We need clever thinking and ideas. This is nothing like Lai at all, zero comparison. Lsi had no plan whatsoever other to try and maintain status quo. Patel has plans which I am told are exactly what ate needed. Invest in infrastructure, academy, stadium, build fanbase. He is said to care deeply about building something for the community.

I'd personally rather an owner with a plan and passion to build organically than some stinking rich owner from dubious background like Newcastle have. It feels like a perfect fit for what we are.

As long as he has the long term future of the club at heart and has plans to secure it i couldnt give a toss how much he is worth.
