It is rather funny to read this as having spent or at least earmarked £115m of his own money is it not a very safe bet to assume that he hasnt left him self short and wouldnt have given his last few millions away. Secondly what difference does it make how rich the owner/ chairman is if they do not put money into the club the classic example of this is that QPR have 2 of the wealthiest people in the world on their board in Mittell and Ecclestone but do not put endless money into the club. The whole financing is about building a sustainable club and get everything right which is what TB and Gus are doing. CPFC are a classic example of an owner putting in his money for a short term fix and not getting the ground roots secure as Venables said this is the club of the 80s and what happened the owner ran out money or patience and everything went tits up. That will not happen to us with TB in charge.

And I could be wrong, but very rich people don't generally get to be very rich without being decidedly careful about what they do with their money. Ergo if Tony Bloom is "only" worth £50 million, it would be a bit odd, don't you think, for him to spank £115 million on a football club?
Even if I had £200 million in the bank, I'd have to think VERY long and hard about chucking half of it at the Albion.

That says more about the idiots that paid up without checking.

If they were such good fans and wealthy would they not have followed Southamptons example and paid off the debts completely rather than follow Portsmouths and pay the least possible. I accept that buying the club cheap is a good business move but if they wre such good fans their consience would surely have dictated that they wanted to preserve the clubs good name .

Whilst I'm sure the Palace owners are very rich but they certainly dont seem to be throwing any money at the stadium or training ground proposals. There's doubts over whether the money is around to take the application through planning (£1m in consultancy fees). I also understand that the supporters trust are trying to find the funds for the training ground (2-3m) as currently they rent a 3 pitch training ground at residential land value with an option that they could get kicked out if the owner got permission to build housing on it.
Fair play for being prudent but they wont move forward without redeveloping/renovating thier ground as parts of it are literally beginning to fall down and are unsafe.

...Considerably richer than yow!
Of course we haven't.One of our owners created Churchill insurance and he's the poorer one.They have seen what happens to clubs with chancers in charge so act accordingly.
It is you having a go at jordan being orange that makes me laugh.You f***ing special child.

You do make me laugh. If we played at the Goldstone still, you'd be telling us it was smaller than Selhurst and a crumbling piece of crap. We played at Withdean and it was a Noddy non-league athletics stadium. We move to a stunning new place and now it's all "Lego" and "soulless".
All it tells me is that, after years of us not being able to compete, you are, for the first time in decades, feeling genuinely threatened by our future prospects, and that that scares you. The fact is, Selhurst Park is, in the main, a festering hovel, and has been for at least forty years. We've always known that, it's just that, with our own temporary (and yes, shit) facilities, we weren't in too much of a position to take the piss. It didn't change the facts though, that you play in one of the two worst grounds in the Championship, FACT. The worm has turned, and you can't just expect all our supporters to sit down quietly and miss the opportunity now it's here.
You have a few quite legitimate reasons to take the piss out of the Albion, I accept that even if not everyone on here will. The stadium is most definitely not one of them, and it shows you up for what you really are. Envy is not a pretty emotion.

Simon Jordan's complexion is more of a burnt umber colouring than dayglo orange to be honest.
