The Sunday Times Rich List is mostly supposition and they forget people completely. TB was very happy to be omitted completely a few years ago.

what I can't understand (and maybe someone can tell me) is if he has that much money why did he not step in whilst we still had the Goldstone ?
Mere piffling millionaires don't drop 120m+30m+56m+8m (ongoing debt) into one vanity project with little sign of recouping the loss.
I guess TB is really grateful of the grants etc that has reduced that outlay, but either way you cut it the phrase 'serious wedge' springs to mind.
14 years ago?
How much money, knowledge and experience did you have when you were 29, compared to now?

I would expect he is investing in his children’s future, so I don't think that him selling out is inevitable.
The Bloom family has been part of the club for the last forty years and I don't see that changing any time soon, especially in the position we are in now.

that does not answer the question and I am sure if my father and grandfather were involved in the same business I would take advice from them
Has TB been sitting on this fortune for 14 years, or has he been accumulating it from his own business interests since leaving uni?
(Good luck gaining any info from Wiki)

Why would he need to sell unless he fell on seriously hard times? What would he do with the money from the sale? As a big Albion fan like Bloom, if I was a multi million/billionaire the first thing I would want to do is buy the club or invest in it. The way I see it he is living the dream by owning the football club he supports.

Blimey the OP posts an innocent hypothetical question and everyone rounds on him.

Only one comment I felt was below the belt and unnecessary especially as he/she has no idea who I am. Cheers anyway appreciated

If you have a whole heap of money what better to spend it on owning the club you support. Personally I can think of nothing that could too that with the possible exception of space travel.

I suggested similar that he could be ' holding the fort for a richer man/consortium' following a chat with an ex-player, on another thread and got slated good and proper
