Is that the 'better football' that has seen you score ZERO goals from open play, in his first 4 games?

Apologies Ben. 2 in 6, then. Carry on.

Well, we've nailed the press report as being a bit fantasy-laden, so we're rounding on you and your mini-excavator crash of a football club.

TBH, you never know, maybe he is now worth only £50m after spending a £100m on the club he loves?
Food for thought that he isn't worth as much anymore.
Think of it this way, he was "only" initially going to invest £40m with the rest from loans, but had to put up the whole amount. If TB was worth hundreds of millions, then why not pay for the whole thing up front from the beginning? Why get loans and pay obscene interest amounts?
If as we hear he wants promotion this season, then again if he's worth a huge amount, why would he not stump up the extra dosh for a "25 goal a season" striker?
Obviously I'm playing Devils Advocat, but you get the idea!

Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
And his family's original capital didn't originate from the victims of an ethnic cleansing operation undertaken by some Austrian corporal and his mates.
yeah but he's a gambler... probably £50m one day, £200m the next and £170m the next etc etc ... they just caught him on a bad day!
The denial on this thread is hilarious, he is not worth the billions some people pretend he is, for all we know he loaned the money to fund the stadium.

Yes, yes I suspect he did EXACTLY that. Borrowing £100million at high interest rates, than loaning it on interest free is EXACTLY what I would expect of a successful and astute businessman.
GOOD theory.

And you know this for sure? I only say this because this is probably conjecture like the "he IS worth billions".
I would venture its somewhere between the two.

Pretty safe to say he wasn't loaned the money. Look at some of his statements about it and the fact we don't have to pay interest give that away.
Good reading, I simply pointed out he could have been loaned the money and you pointed out it was not realistic, it is a valid question though as far as im concerned, where did the £100m come from, because I can't see any activities that would make him as rich as he is, I reckon that valuation is pretty accurate.

So you don't know what he does, where his money comes from or where he stashes it - and you're happy with the 'valuation' on the back of that?
Right.

It is not a valid question at all. We have no right to know how much Tony Bloom is worth, or where his wealth comes from. What we have a right to know is his dealings with the football club, and we have been told (and I have no reason to doubt the club on this) that he has given the money to the club as an interest free convertible loan, to either be paid back over the period 2013-2023 or at the end of this period to be converted into shares.
