yarb101 Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 All we need now to have icing on the cake is for MLT to be approached by Markus's team for some ambassador role within the new setup

Jules Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Anyone know where this puts on the rich list of owners in england? need to know for the constant bragging to people!! Here is the current rich list. So I think we would be 4th.:rolleyes: 1. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan (Manchester City) 15 billion 2. Lakshmi Mittal and family (QPR) 12.5 billion 3. Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) 7 billion 4. Joe Lewis (Tottenham Hotspur) 2.5 billion 5. Bernie and Slavica Ecclestone (Queen's Park Rangers) 2.4 billion 6. Stanley Kroenke (Arsenal) 2.24 billion 7. Alisher Usmanov (Arsenal) 1.5 billion =8. Lord Grantchester and the Moores family (Everton) 1.2 billion =8. Dermot Desmond (Celtic) 1.2 billion =10. Lord Ashcroft (Watford) 1.1 billion =10. Malcolm Glazer and family (Manchester United) 1.1 billion I found it here http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2009/200901/20090107/article_387235.htm.
Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Great news at long last. BUT let's hope some of that cash does get spent on the team - look at QPR, loads more dosh than anyone but how much has been invested in their team? Not a lot in comparison plus losing managers like a tarts knickers because of owners' interference. Anyway, very happy at the mo.

SuperSAINT Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Markus Liebherr commented: “I believe we have a superb opportunity to rebuild this great Club. Clearly, this will require resources, planning, hard work and patience. We will assemble a strong management team at every level of the Club. We will act rapidly, but also plan for the long term, because I am here for the long term. “I also look forward to the Club re-engaging with the fans and the local community. We cannot succeed with out their backing. “We should not expect instant success, but our fans, employees and other stakeholders can expect 100 per cent commitment from me and my team.” It is expected that there will be media briefings on the new owner’s detailed strategy during early August when he expects to have the full new management team in place.
