Patrick Cryne 4-4-2 Rich list...

Ranks at 53rd with a personal fortune of £35m.</p>

It goes onto say that it more than likely will be at least 35m after tax as nobody is sure how much he made from the sale of his Isoft shares.</p>

Good on him.</p>

I'll be happy with him spending 10% of that in the January transfer window.</p>

Come on Paddy you know it makes sense!!</p>

hehe</p>

 

It will cost him nearly all of that to get us promoted.

I dont see it myself.

 

I heard he'd got 3 times that though so....

You might one day see Mel Sterland flying over the moon.

 

RE: I heard he'd got 3 times that though so....

this rich list - is it the rich-ness of all the football clubs/chairman?

if so then that would make us pretty poor compared to most.

 

We would be in the first division based on wealth then.

Lower than we are now.

 

Times Rich List.................PC is worth an estimated £70 M

Which is double the 442 list
But - it isn't enough to prime the pump (so to speak) at Barnsley FC
Said it before, but PC should, and probably is, looking to bring someone else onto the board of directors that has the money to take us forward
I would say you need someone in the £200+ M price range to take the club forward
We shouldn't be relying on one bloke to prop the club up

At this point in time, if I were him, I would sell all the extra land off for development - seeing that development land is at a premium right now
Money raised can go to building a new West Stand of the same dimensions as the cop but includes more executive boxes

 

RE: Times Rich List.................PC is worth an estimated £70 M

Given that we are only just managing to average approximately half of the current capacity, then a new West Stand is way down the list of priorities for the club. And were we to build one it would be better off being a similar design to the East Stand rather than the Kop (not sure where that refers to as the Kop is traditionally the home area behind the goals but at Oakwell the Spion Kop was what is now the away end)

 

its in the january issue of 442 - Its all english football.... including players MD's Directors of football..... I was surprised to see that tottenham had the 2nd best backing of any club behind the russian oil mafioso....
