I suspect we'd be outside the top 40 if you added in the Championship, and Portsmouth owner, Michael Eisner...

Re: Premier League's richest owners
Fair play to Mike Garlick for making more cash than Delia. She's probably blown a few quid on sherry over the years though.
Gold & Sullivan must have sold a hell of a lot of dildos over the years.

Does anyone know how much it cost Garlick to buy the necessary shares to become co-chairman back in 2010?

Re: Premier League's richest owners
He became joint chairman in 2012 and sole chairman in 2015 but bought shares to get on the board in 2006. He has increased his share holding since but I think a lot of that has been buying from other shareholders. I think he bought a lot from Flood.Winstonswhite wrote:Does anyone know how much it cost Garlick to buy the necessary shares to become co-chairman back in 2010?

Sullivan and Gold probably doubled their worth with the sale of the land beneath the Boleyn ground. Laughing all the way to the bank whilst paying a paltry £3m a year to rent the Olympic Stadium.

Sure, there's investment. Far more than we could ever dream of.
But the Glaziers have there own use for the monies and won't bother trying to compete with Citeh.
They've only recently, I think, taken out yet another small fortune, putting more debt on Manure.

Re: Premier League's richest owners
I heard something the other day that really put into perspective how much the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire truly is.
1 million seconds is the equivalent of 11.5 DAYS - so a week and a half.
1 billion seconds is 31.7 YEARS!!!
A lot of people think “oh, i’d love to have a million quid” but in the grand scheme of things, it’s hardly a drop in the ocean nowadays compared to the truly wealthy people about.
Equating wealth as time -
Mike Garlick would be worth 1.96 years worth of seconds.
Sheikh Mansour would be worth 738.8 years.

Which is 31.5 years. Its early and I've left this post on to prove you point further. What a staggering difference.

Take away owner's funding what are you left with; PL money, ticket sales & other matchday income, global merchandise sales, hospitality/corporate, use of ground for other events, player sales. We'd still be comfortably in the bottom quarter.

Re: Premier League's richest owners
Whatever a club's owner is (reportedly) worth personally, I don't think they should be simply bankrolling a club which is maybe doing ok on the field, but actually losing money hand over fist off it, in order to sustain their position. It's every owners prerogative to choose to do that (or not), of course, but that's exactly what has got a succession of clubs into huge financial black holes. Because if an owner pulls the plug due to other financial pressures, or loses interest or dies or whatever, there's a massive potential for the sky to fall in. Leicester have been lucky, in that the people succeeding the late chairman see things the same way, fine, but not everyone does. If I was an Arsenal fan for example, I might not be overjoyed with the series of relatively mediocre seasons they've endured recently, but I wouldn't necessarily be wanting the mega rich owner to start pumping gazillions into the club with all the dangers that COULD entail further down the line. Down at The Turf poor Mike is struggling along on his £62 million and probably skulking in the toilet when it's his round at the bar at the PL chairmen's hootenanny, but I'm happy for him to keep his cash to himself for now tbh and I would be even if he had 10 times that amount of cash.

Man City's turnover for 2018 was just over £500m. You honestly think their additional income, other than PL money, comes from other operating activities and not the owners pocket?

Re: Premier League's richest owners
Obviously a number there would be up sh*t creek if their owners suddenly pulled the plug for whatever reason. Probably (I'd suggest) City and Bournemouth would be the most exposed. The latter clearly because of a tiny ground and fan base which must generate practically no meaningful cash flow when set against their committed (PL) outgoings. Some (like us) have been much more savvy and would be fine. For all his faults and for all they moan about him, I suspect double billionaire Mike Ashley could dump Newcastle tomorrow and they wouldn't notice (well not in their finances) and that's not actually a bad position to be in.

Re: Premier League's richest owners
Bournemouth have roughly been breaking even in the premier league. They'd suffer if the debts from their football league era were called in or if they went down but they could be self-sustaining in the Premier League. The TV money is high enough that for a good number of clubs (including ourselves) the gate revenue is pretty immaterial.Dark Cloud wrote:Obviously a number there would be up sh*t creek if their owners suddenly pulled the plug for whatever reason.

Newcastle have actually been supported by Ashley more than a lot of the stories suggest. They had a £110m wage bill in the Championship for instance which obviously had to be subsidised by him.

other than the £110m they owe him, currently interest free and not to be paid until he sells the club - it is actually one of the problems with his valuation/selling price - if he used profits to pay down the debt he would be more likely to get the valuation he wants - which is everything he has put into the club - roughly £350m including that loan - loan value drops selling price drops, but the fans would not wear it because of the £110m they owe him, currently interest free and not to be paid until he sells the club promise he madeDark Cloud wrote:Obviously a number there would be up sh*t creek if their owners suddenly pulled the plug for whatever reason.

Re: Premier League's richest owners
The first major change, that largely went under the radar, was that Brendan Flood released the bulk of what was a major shareholding. Prior to that release Flood owned 24.9% of the total shareholding compared to Mike Garlick (25.2%) and John B (19.2%). At that point I understand that MG and JB purchased the majority of Flood's shares and the amended shareholding as of 2015 was MG (47.3%), JB (27.6%) and the five remaining directors (17.96%) between them.aggi wrote:Did he buy new shares or did he buy existing shares? I thought it was mainly the latter but I'm not 100%.
The next major move was in 2017 when MG and JB converted their remaining loans in the Club into equity which resulted in MG now owning 49.24%, JB 28.2% and 16.36% across the other five directors. The remaining shares at just over 6% are distributed amongst just over 1,800 other BFC shareholders.
Not aware of any changes since so the Directors have 114,897 shares between them out of a total share capital of 122,478 comprising as follows :-
MG 60,308 shares 49.24%
JB 34,544 shares 28.20%
BK 4,032 shares
CH 4,003 shares
BN 4,010 shares
TC 4,000 shares
BF 4,000 shares.
So, Kilby, Holt, Nelson, Crabb & Flood 16.36% between them and again the balance of just over 6% distributed over 1,800 other shareholders.
