He should be higher then mate. Tans worth about 1.2 billion now. Im wondering
if the Times have gone off last years figures for him. He has apparently doubled
his worth over the last 18 months. Can you copy the whole list on here for us??

Yes it did make interesting reading. Personally I didn't realise QPR's backers were that wealthy either.

Mittal owns a large chunk of the world's steelmaking industry.

Hmmmm So id put him as just above Fayed then in 11/12th place. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I hope this poll wasnt conducted over the phone asking these people
themselves how much they were worth.

Ridsdale would definitely top the list :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

At the end of the day it doesnt really matter how rich the owners are. There are
obviously a dozen or so that have got enough money to challenge Chelsea at the
top. (we're one of them :lol: :lol: amazing innit!!)... Its how much they are
willing to invest in the club. Its what they themselves are looking to get from it.

If Vincent Tan sees Cardiff City (and indeed the city of Cardiff) as a 'base' for
Costways European assault, then all bodes well. He'll want the club to be as high
profile as possible, playing in the best leagues and the top competitions.

Lets never forget though eh, people can LOSE fortunes as well as make them!!

I will be Mr Costway products once they hit these shores :lol: :lol:

I'll buy anything and everything they sell!
