Well out of his depth IMO after playing at a lower level in LA. It will take him a while to get up to speed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I fail to see how Murray is worth anything like �£600m. I think that these figures are largely made up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,665 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 His overall assets may be worth that but with his bank debt and the recession he's probably not worth much more than you or I right now... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7813166.stm No wonder he only played 45 mins, i watched the first half and he was absolute terrible. Well off the pace, poor passing, losing possession..... He says he hasnt moved to pass Bobby Moore's record but i definatly believe its a personal goal of his - of course it is and rightly so, but he isnt going to admit it. He is another player who on the downward spiral....seems to be the story of football at the moment! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The guy just loves being in the spotlight! In his prime he was a fantastic player who knew his own abilities and used them to great effect. Other than that him and his wife and money grabbing, celebrity following twats! How many caps has Moore got and what is 'Golden Baws' on? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 919 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think its 105 and 106 caps or 107 and 108. But BBC normally say he is going for the record breaking amount, but this time they have remember Shilton has 126 caps. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,761 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has been toppled from the summit of the Football Rich List, published on Wednesday in the new issue of FourFourTwo magazine. Abramovich has lost Ã?£3bn in the recession and is now worth Ã?£7bn. That's less than half the wealth of the new man at the top of the list, Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, who is estimated to be worth Ã?£15bn. The people on the sixth Football Rich List, researched and published annually by FourFourTwo, are worth a total of Ã?£61billion. The list includes 11 billionaires and 25 new entries. Although some of the new entries are foreign ââ?¬â?? like Sheikh Mansour and the new No.2 Lakshmi Mittal, who has joined Formula 1 entrepreneurs Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore in investing in QPR ââ?¬â?? only a third of those on the list are from overseas, with the 64 Brits including three WAGs. The Top 20 on the Football Rich List are: 1. Shekh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nayan (Manchester City) Ã?£15bn 2. Lakshmi Mittal & family (QPR) Ã?£12.5bn 3. Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) Ã?£7bn 4. Joe Lewis (Tottenham Hotspur) Ã?£2.5bn 5. Bernie & Slavica Ecclestone (QPR) Ã?£2.4bn 6. Stanley Kroenke (Arsenal) Ã?£2.245bn 7. Alisher Usmanov (Arsenal) Ã?£1.5bn 8= Lord Grantchester & The Moores Family (Everton) Ã?£1.2bn 8= Dermot Desmond (Celtic) Ã?£1.2bn 10= Lord Ashcroft (Watford) Ã?£1.1bn 10= Malcolm Glazer & family (Manchester United) Ã?£1.1bn 12. Simon Keswick (Cheltenham Town) Ã?£966m 13. Trevor Hemmings (Preston North End) Ã?£900m 14. Mike Ashley (Newcastle United) Ã?£800m 15. Randy Lerner (Aston Villa) Ã?£750m 16. Tom Hicks (Liverpool) Ã?£700m 17. The Walker Family (Blackburn Rovers) Ã?£660m 18. Mohammed al-Fayed (Fulham) Ã?£650m 19. Sir David Murray (Glasgow Rangers) Ã?£600m 20. Steve Morgan (Wolves) Ã?£400m The new England manager Fabio Capello is also a new entry worth an estimated Ã?£25m with a Ã?£6m a year contract and a Ã?£10m private art collection and Sir Elton John ââ?¬â?? who has rekindled his interest in Watford ââ?¬â?? is a new entry at No.28 with a Ã?£235m fortune. However, Sir Elton may not have chosen a wise time to get back in the game. The recession may not have hurt football yet, but financial expert Professor Tom Cannon thinks clubs will soon start feeling the pinch. "Season tickets will probably be down by about 10 percent but renewals will be down by at least 15 or 20 percent," said Professor Cannon. "That's where the problems will be as you go down the divisions." More from Professor Cannon on the dangers to football And FourFourTwo Editor-in-Chief Hugh Sleight is similarly worried about football's financial future. ââ?¬Å?Judging by this list, football is the last remaining financial bubble," he said. "The combined wealth of our Top 100 is now Ã?£61 billion, compared with Ã?£41.7 billion last year and Ã?£20.45 billion in the first-ever Football Rich List in 2003. ââ?¬Å?Weââ?¬â?¢ve also got 25 new entries in the 100, primarily because of the continued rush to invest in British football over the last 12 months. ââ?¬Å?But the landscape has already changed dramatically because of the recession. As Arsene Wenger rightly pointed out, football will suffer just like any other industry. "So far there seems to be a time lag but as economic conditions continue to bite, clubs and owners will feel the effect and it will then be interesting to see the reactions of these very wealthy men as they see their fortunes disappearing. In 12 monthsââ?¬â?¢ time, this list could look very different indeed.ââ?¬Â http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/23107/default.aspx 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
