St Landrew Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 When all this gets done and dusted where does it put us in terms of "rich list" so to speak? Pretty damn high, possibly 7th. How ironic, as that number seems to have haunted Saints over the top flight years. How much is spent to make the most of Saints potential is another matter. Who's to say that the new owners won't make a quick killing in a few years time..? But then the Leibherrs could take Saints all the way back to the top. One never knows.

But then the Leibherrs could take Saints all the way back to the top. One never knows. I don't get the impression he is as mega wealthy as his siblings - but who knows. Frankly I'd settle for a kindly owner, professional, who wants to develop the club on a sustainable basis with modest additional resources. As someone else posted a while back - now the debts are wiped out we should be able to generate most of the cash needed through the turnstile.

But then the Leibherrs could take Saints all the way back to the top. One never knows. Unlikely. He looked like a single figure (that figure being one) billionaire. It would keep you in cuckoo clocks but its not mind blowing in British football. And I am assuming Randy Learner restraint over Man City loopiness. Plenty for us though.

Ken Tone Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 (edited) He seems to be wealthy enough to be able to invest if he thinks it is worth it, as opposed to being strapped for cash and owing big money back to the bank that he borrowed to buy us like others might have been, and really that is all that matters. Having even a mega-rich owner doesn't necessarily mean you'll be a big spender. Remember all those QPR fans waving tenners at the chelsea fans? Look a bit silly now don't they? Abramovitch *lent* chelsea so much, allegedly in order to move money out of russia, rather than just to improve his 'train set'. I can't think of any other rich owner throwing money at a club since Jack Walker at blackburn, and what he spent would seem peanuts by todays' standards. So the main point in the saints v other club boasting argument is we aren't broke and we aren't owned by a crook, (or, as far as we know yet, a nutcase.) K.

moonraker Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 When all this gets done and dusted where does it put us in terms of "rich list" so to speak? Nowhere, he is not giving us his money he is buying us, we will have to wait and see how much he is willing to invest, I am very hopeful that it will be signifcant.

Chez Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 I can't think of any other rich owner throwing money at a club since Jack Walker at blackburn, and what he spent would seem peanuts by todays' standards. Al Fahid, Mandric, Michael Ashley, Björgólfur Gudmundsson, and Darragh MacAnthony even at Peterborough have all dipped into their fortunes a fair bit.

Nexstar Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 If it is the reported £2.6bn then we come 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 It puts us indebted to our new owner by the tune of £12.5 million, doesn't it? My goodness. Is that all? Very rich compared to most clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 No. Unlike chelsea who have borrowed vast sums from Abramovitch (after he bought them from previous owners) to buy and pay players, we won't owe the new owner anything. He will have paid that much to buy us. That money has gone towards paying the creditors some of the money they were owed. Once done, clean sheet. His shares are then worth whatever someone else might want to pay him. The club won't owe him anything, any more than anything else owes its buyer. I bought a newspaper yesterday. It doen't owe me anything, apart from a moral debt to have less irrelevant crap in it about dead pop stars and live soap ones. He could of course choose to lend the club money in future however. K.
