Thu Feb 05, 2015 3:16 pm

Has been for a year or so, I lived in Bristol from 2003 till 2009 when he was worth around 250 million, so when I went drinking with old mates the other day, they were saying Cardiff just waste money etc etc, to be fair they are right!!, but when they said Lansdown was richer the Tan I nearly fell off my chair laughing!! but he has made 1.3 billion since 2009 and is :o

Anyway a pointless fact for some, but for me I would of never of guessed this, could be a force next season if they chose to spend big, but as Cardiff and QPR know spending millions does not always work. :bluescarf:

I surprised in this Forbes article cause didn't tan float or sell a company a couple of months back and earn a 500 million ?

Hi Wez, Shocked me, and they took the piss for a bit after, got a lot of good friends in Bristol, but when it comes to football they are anti Cardiff/Welsh ass holxx... Anyway yes thought he made 500/700 million selling seven eleven stores in malaysia a while back or was planning too, but fair play to Landsdown made a load of money in the last few years.

I'm sure that I read somewhere that tan had double his wealth in 2014

I am sure he still gets money out of Berjaya too.

He got his hands burnt trusting MM and has gone to much the other way now. It really is a pity as with his finance we could have been a solid PL club.

DJ would have been a better bet, never had money and could get a bargain and still play football on the pitch.

If RS goes I can't see a great Manager out there to be honest :ayatollah:

I seem to remember when Jim White,Sky Sports News visited him he told him he was very lucky and that one of his companies had just had an unexpected windfall of 800m or 1.5m dollars!

Wish my companies could do that :bluescarf:
