[Albion] So, when does Uncle Tony get some ££ back on his massive investment?

Don't think he would even consider until stable in the premium, even if that never happens.

He got a fair chunk back when we got promoted and might even see a profit if we establish ourselves in the premier league. He's a calculated gambler...he knows what he's doing

The day we spank Real Madrid 5-0 in the Champion league final. :goal::goal::goal::goal::goal:


Then his work here will be complete

What have you ever seen that makes you think he is looking for a financial return ? Genuinely don’t think he sees BHA as a part of his investment portfolio. More a passion/labour of love he’s happily (for us as well as him) in a position to be able to afford.

"Return" is wrong.

Part repaying his £300m loan to the club would be the plan, eventually.

Not paying £40m, for one year, is a start.

Don’t think he’s looking for a return. Think he will be happy once the club is balancing the book as a business should. Invest in the right young players and the clubs with more money than sense will be in with stupid £50 million plus bids and he may see some returns. Can’t see him selling up anytime ever. Talks of wanting to pass it on to his family

Don't forget he owns it all, so on paper he has a little nest egg of some 350 mill between the stadium, training ground and the club worth.

He turned it down, & converted it to shares. He wants to leave the club to his son.

we are unique, bloom doesn't vew things that way. like it or lump it we are have with a owner with a plan (95%of our fans are with him) The Bloom family have a lomg asso iation with the club we are very very very lucky to have that, would state on 476 points for tickets we are doing as much as we can for this club,----- none of the investment is robbing th clubs assets

Hopefully he will never sell, would love to see his faith rewarded with a trophy at some point in the not so far distant future.

To be fair, if any of us had his money we would do exactly the same thing. He's been blessed to be very clever and wealthy in his life, we'd all love a go at it though wouldn't we?

According to Companies House, so far he’s ‘only’ converted £96m of his directors loan bonds to share capital.

Still leaving circa a £200m creditor director’s loan balance which the club could repay to him.

Simply repaying a debt and not a “return” some refer to.

I thought profit Paul wrote in the program the other day that the clubs worth is nowhere near the level of TBs investment.

......is the correct answer.

He is is the most secretive, multi billionaire in the world.

I honestly think he is just a fan, in an extraordinary position doing something he loves. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he'd prefer to make a load of money through the club but I also think he's not too bothered if he sees the money back if he gets the club to a place (financially and status) he is aiming for.

The man gets the train to away games..... not much else to add.

Tbh if I had a spare 300 million the last place I would stick it in would be a football club. So much more you could do with the money rather than topping up the pig swill for all those already with their snouts firmly in the muck.
