If you dig into the deal, he was involved with a minority holding up to a first small IPO raise. The main shareholder went on record and said Lee was hardly involved and had no holding at the time of the full flotation that valued the hotel group in the billions. If you look at his other company history, most have folded and don't exist anymore. The only deal Lee had a holding in that definitely was for millions was OGC Nice. But its not obvious who that money went to or what the percentage split was for investors and shareholders.
It’s this article claiming to that premier clubs don’t want to bail out EFL because they’re all billionaires. Never mind the fact FFP is supposed to stop them from subsiding their clubs!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...-out-premier-league-parry-billionaire-owners/
At least Lee spends a lot of time in the Town. I saw him in his shop at the bottom of Racecommon Rd only last week. Served me a cracking Mushroom curry.
