Tony Bloom to put in £40m

[beorhthelm]

It's the rumour roundabout.

Man reads rumour on NSC about the club creating £40m woth of loans notes. He ... adds in that Tony Bloom ...A bit of chinese whispers happens

exactly. its nice to see the formation of a rumour as its released into the wild so to speak.

its funny because when you do actually know something you tend to keep quiet in case either its very wrong or very right and not good.

And as for Bloom not having the dough its been bandied about on here that he's worth £100 million - whether that true or not I dont know!

There is a Tony Bloom that is worth over £100m, but not the Tony Bloom that has a vested interest in Brighton & Hove Albion.

Tony Bloom (ours) IS a billionaire and that is a fact

Is this refering to a different Bloom family? I'd gathered it was, maybe this is where people get the 100 million from?

A billionaire you say?

In Japanese Yen or Monopoly money, possibly, but in £ sterling...I think not.

 

[Whitterz]

Blooms source of fortune came from gambling. NOT food.

Not to mention this fantastic idea of "INTEREST FREE".

Assuming an inflation rate of 2% pa (not unreasonable), his investment would only be worth around 73% of what it is today (in real terms) if he gave us an interest free loan for 16 years.

Sounds very plausible!

Don't think much if any of the money is coming in the way of bank loans...so come to your own conclusions

And that does not take into account what it would be worth if it was sat in a bank earning interest.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

I am not sure who is paying for the stadium, but Tony Bloom does not have £40 million, let alone £40 million he can loan out interest free. Yes the story sounds good, yes the story fits in with some of the facts and other rumours, but it is just not possible so it is not true.

Absolute tosh I'm afraid. He's worth considerably more than that. Stop digging. You're going to look very very silly by this time tomorrow.

how many millions in a billion?

He just sold a gambling website for SHIT loads of money, that must take him near a billion

Once again,yes, yes he is worth considerably more than that. You lot sound so desperate to pooh-pooh this.

Yet strangely there is no-one on the Sunday Times rich list (which supposedly lists the 2000 richest people in the country) with the surname Bloom. Even the £100m Bloom listed earlier was from the 2008 list.

Oh, well that's blown my argument out of the water. I mean, the Sunday Times knows exactly how much people are worth don't they?

Makes you wonder what the £100 million he made from the sale of one website alone has all gone on. My guess is sweeties and comics.

Can't we just try and get that bloke to invest?

I have no idea how much he is worth but playing devils advocate if he lives(ed) in Oz then he wouldn't appear in the list BUT it does list the worlds richest people even though I have a strong doubt he would have appeared anywhere near that!

what rubbish, premier bet (assume thats the website you refer too) was sold in 2005 for 1.3 million (only out by 98.7 m) and of that some of the money was in the form of shares.

Tony bloom is not as rich as you all think

made circa 1 million from poker

1.3 million from premierbet

Has been involved in hedge funds and property investment but no one really knows how much this has brought him.

 

[siclean]

false alarm..its not 40 million, you wish!!! no its just £400,,, had this pic sent to me of what bloom put down on boardroom table ...40 million
oh and before you ask...its to give everyone a glass of bubbly as they enter the ground on start of new season !

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

what rubbish

Really? Let's see shall we?
