While we are on the subject of Russian billionaires...
Woolwich’s Alisher Usmanov loses $809m in 48 hours, Chelsea’s Roman Abramovich loses $449.5m
Two of the wealthiest men involved in Premier League football have lost a fortune in the past 48 hours, reports Vanity Fair.
In news that will send chills down the spines of Woolwich and Chelsea supporters, Alisher Usmanov and Roman Abramovich have seen their wealth decimated in the last two days as the Russian economy had nosedived.
As Russia ruble has fallen to its lowest value in more than a decade, Chelsea owner Abramovich has reportedly lost $449.5 million. That has left Roman with a net worth of just $12.8 billion.
As for Woolwich’s second largest shareholder Usmanov, he has lost $809 million this week, leaving his net worth at $13.4 billion.
The figures were compiled using data from Bloomberg’s Billionaires index.
Stadium ...وايت هارت لين
It could for someone yes. I actually feel rather positive about Spurs, especially if we don't get bought and stick to the long-term plan. It'll take a while, but the club would become very stable contenders.
The more obvious target is Woolwich, IMO.
isn't the class system in the UK fucked? not disagreeing that some of them might be shitty people, but get off your high horse.. we all contribute to one steaming pile of shit or another.
Well.... why the f@ck not?
Would be pleased if this happens

I find it brutally unjust how Qataris have so much bloody cash spilling out of their rear-ends
Half the country's land footprint is covered by one of the largest, if not the largest natural gas reservoir in the field.
Better spend their dosh on tottenham than more gold trains innit

Maybe. Then Woolwich would be even further in front of us. But I'd rather that than us fall to fourth London club behind West Ham as well.
There goes the fucking holiday!!!!!
West camel i would assume
Are we there yet ?
Exactly. Realistically, the only way we can challenge the Big Five is to get new owners in. The new stadium might do it, but I'd far rather it was built by people with serious money to spend on the club.
I didn't realise they had to pay a proportion of gate receipts to Newham - any idea what the % is?
Let's not worry about what's happening /what might happen at other clubs. Speculation around the game will always be around, its what keeps the media in a job, so until anything has been confirmed to be true, take it all with a pinch of salt. Grey hair comes to you quickly enough without fretting over something that may never happen.
I think what it means is that we'd like to do business with them in the future without bad blood. I don't think it's referring to a Real style "special relationship".
Probably because it's a load of made up rubbish mate
