    It's nearly 60% of the salary of a 100kpw player. While we can consider ourselves fortunate that it's not 30m a year it isn't peanuts. He is making money on his investment as the share price rises, and whether he cashes in his chips or uses that value in some other way he is already getting a good return.

    My honest opinion is that it's for some marked-up consultancy work, they did give some examples around commercial networks and data analytics at the time, but to suggest he's a bad owner for taking a fundamentally quite modest fee from the club is a bit of a stretch. Also, he doesnt pick the team, impose signings on the manager or have a constant hotline to the press briefing against other people in the club.

    Honestly, as far as absentee foreign owners go, we could be a lot worse off. Most people would be hard pushed to name a better alternative, Joe Lewis? Venky's? The Indian bloke with the massive tache that bought Fulham but not the massive nonce statue?

    It's complicated. We don't like *anybody* who can actually afford our club; not the supporters, not Roman, Not Kroenke, not even those nice A-rabs at Manchester City. Even taxpayers are too thick because they bought West Ham United their new stadium for them

    No, or at least not if they're organising protests about really, really nebulous things.

    The laws of supply and demand deserve more credit imo

    A Berlusconi would be alright. I agree with you about ESK though.

    This is just what fans *do* though, isn't it. All sorts of stuff. You know, like in Italy or Germany.

    It'd all hinge on whether he'd invite me to a Bunga Bunga party
