if dermot desmond acted like abramovich, this might be relevant. The truth is, all these guys stay rich because they dont put money into football. they are happy to hold office, call it the ultimate executive box.

But really. is this the best thing you have to do tonight?

Forgot about that, Seven.

It is relevant because it is about people in footballs total wealth, not just how much they invest in their club. Now can someone give me a sensible reason why Craig Whyte isn't on the top 100 football rich list?

He's definitely a billionaire. He must be...

wouldn't be surprised if you were part of the global conspiracy to dominate humanity atheist

maybe cause the list is made by a magazine who can't definitely say who is worth how much. If you read the articles its based on guess work. and since they are dealing in minor shareholders, people like Dave King should be in there. really who can really talk about the accuracy of a list of rich people written for a football magazine.

Maybe Fantasty Phil wrote it for them. who knows.

What does it matter?

There are several owners/majority shareholders of scottish clubs in that top 100, and they are all behind us on the pitch, including ur shower. Even if ours has less money, hes still got a team doing a better job.

Take from this what u want, but he must be mighty confident of winning this tax case if hes took it on wae no money, and dream all u want of us going under, being asset stripped etc.

Look further into it than ur desperate need to be obsessed with us, uz have 2 shareholders worth a combined 1.45bn and uz still cant find the funds to get a decent centre back or keeper

Pity the timmy

442 didn't seem to have much problem guestimating the top 100s. I wonder why Whyties was so problematic then?

because he doesn't own or operate a PLC perhaps?

And how much are Rangers worth? If all the assets were to be sold then more than 20m anyway........

posted on 5/10/11

NTFL - I seriously doubt that has anything to do with it. Arsenal or Chelsea aren't PLC's although Chelsea Village is.

i wasn't talking about the club, i was talking about his day to day business. There probably is no real way to measure his worth. might be nothing, might be loads. who knows.

I am guessing its more than me and less than Dermott Desmond. But given neither are putting their own cash into football. it doesn't really matter a great deal.

Seven.

The SPL will do for now.

Should you not be asking why has Desmond not used
any of his wealth to make us Champions. Three years
you have suffered being behind a financially crippled club yet Desmond has sat there and watched.
2009 Celtic 7 points clear at new year, Stephen Fletcher to finish the job and Desmond said no £2M
out of £1.3B and you watched Rangers take the title.
How sickening.
Three years later you still hobble behind Rangers hoping, praying that the Revenue Service will stop
us, because Desmond will not fund your club to be
able to challenge Rangers on the field.
Three years you have paid your dues to watch a failing
club has your Billionaire put his hand in his pocket nope, he has got fools like you to do that.

perhaps you should write an Op about that mate?

Seven.

Agreed.

NTFL - it wouldn't worry you if you found out the owner and sole creditor to Rangers was worth less than £20m?

posted on 6/10/11

iv never heard mr whyte say he is a billionaire, i did read it online in the record though but i dont believe tripe that gets written there, seven does though

posted on 6/10/11

Ive never Whytie heard say he was a billionaire either so I doubt he is. But if I found out he didn't have £20m I would be shocked.

posted on 6/10/11

what the hell do you do about it? Murray sold his shares to the guy as were his shares to sell for whatever he wanted to.

I hope he has a little more insight that most, but i am not going to worry about an article in a football magazine based on newspaper clippings

Where Is Billionaire Whytie?

Ive never Whytie heard say he was a billionaire either so I doubt he is.

so why are you calling him one then, ya complete w@@nker

posted on 6/10/11

is it possible that the reason he never made it onto the 442 top 100 football rich list with a paltry £20m at joint 92nd, is because he doesn't have a paltry £20m? Am I the only one who would be surprised to find out that he didn't? How then if he doesn't have £20m will he pay the possible tax bill which has been repeatedly stated as £49m? Why aren't the Bears asking these questions? Is being top of the league (albeit out of 3 trophies) in October enough to make you deflect your little minds from these important questions? So simply put - Why isn't Whytie on the 442 Top 100 football rich list?
