Takeover

[Wimborne Baggie]

Peace didnt really have any money of significance and provided us with our most successful period for decades. we have a great manager with a competitive squad (once injuries clear up), stability and sensible decisions off the pitch give us every chance to get back to the prem. Look at Luton!

Not a new poster , used to be Rom and been a lurker for a long time. This new found optimism has sucked me back in !

Welcome back Romell

Again as many have said he cannot bankroll us anyway in the championship so we need to look to box clever ect. Regards his wealth, I think he’s personal wealth is around 200 million whilst the companies he deals with ect I’ve read is around the 2 billion ect in assets . Something like that, I think

And what are their liabilities?

I’m not sure I buy into the argument it doesn’t matter if they don’t have significant cash. Even if we go down the develop the scouting, youth development, and general football department it will still be a lot easier and potentially more effective if the owners have wealth that can compete with clubs we will hopefully be up against in the Prem.

Brentford seem to be the natural blueprint but their success will get more and more difficult to sustain as time goes by.

They cant bankroll the squad, but they can the Academy, Training Ground, The Hawthorns etc. At least while in the Championship, although they'd have more wriggle room to put money towards transfers if in the PL.

They will need to improve income streams so we can compete, and the above would seem to be the start. Sponsorship and links to other business/corporate entities can also increase revenue streams.

The £2 billion is the Patel family’s own family office.  You do realise that’s the family’s wealth, not third party wealth?

Sensible families with $2 billion of assets under management don’t tend to have substantial liabilities!   They use their own wealth to fund projects and generate a return, especially with low interest rates no longer constituting “free money”.

That just needs owners with low 9-figure wealth.  Any wealth above that level is irrelevant.
