    Some have known from the start.

    • The accounts show the bank with profits after tax of 24m Jordanian dinars, roughly the same in pounds. That is not a lot for a bank. Our guy owns 4% . A quick Google search puts his holdings worth USD 22m. Say £16m. So not a billionaire. The bank only pays 12m in total salaries so he’s not getting wealth that way. The total net assets of the bank are 250m dinar. The estimated market value per a Google search is 300m dinar. It is a tiny bank.

      I am really struggling to see why our guy is seen as a billionaire. I am delighted he is on board. He appears passionate, he has some money but not substantial amounts.

        I too am airing on the side of caution when it comes to the claimed ‘billions’. I get the impression the BBC and ITV etc are sensationalizing it, as you’d expect. But I do think he has a little more than you’ve suggested… if he seriously does only have what you’ve said, that’s a little worrying.

        That said, I’m incredibly happy with him as a person and think we’ve ‘got a good one’ here. FTG!

      Oh , also had a look at the Tourism company accounts. That company has net assets of £50m , let’s say a market value of £100m. The family owns about 30% . That includes our guys holding of 4 %.

      I should have added to my first post that the family only owns 30% of the bank.

      So I make it that the value of the family’s banking and tourism business is about £130m of which our guy has about £20m

    That would not serve any purpose.

    But interestingly there was a poster on here last season who is either involved in scouting himself or knows a professional scout and his opinion was that Matty would make it in league 1 but probably not get much higher. That was just one person's opinion but as far as I recall it was debated respectfully and he was not chastised for giving a relatively positive assessment of a Rovers player. We all hope our manager can continue to improve our players so they are capable of playing at a higher level and that, in my opinion, is one of the strongest reasons for bringing in better quality players because working alongside better quality players undoubtedly helps to improve the technique and tactical awareness of existing players. Which makes it even more ludicrous that many Rovers fans, in their misplaced loyalty, are celebrating the fact that so few new players have been brought in and kidding themselves that "this is what Darrell wants". 

    But we shouldn't be discussing the Rovers team on a City forum we'll get kicked off if we're not careful :whistle:     

    I like the cut of your jib BT..have a like on me.

    They were singing 'we've got our stadium'.

    3 days later it became apparent that we weren't going to win the Village Green argument and the club started to focus on 'Plan B'....the redevelopment of Ashton Gate. 

    I'm sure they will get their stadium and it will probably be at UWE but it's been hilarious watching them soil their pants in frustration at every problem they've encountered in the 3 years since that JPT Match. They certainly thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually has been :rofl2br:

    It's a vision that in the future we'll have a much better set up than we have now .. people are allowed to dream .. some dreams do come true .. by hard work and by pulling together anything is possible. . I'm a realist ..

    You dream on Phil, when Wally came on the scene you lot all thought, Yes were on the gravy train now, big mistake

    truth is gravey train.jpg which leaves you withcamel train.jpg enjoy :facepalm:

    To all you gashead posters and lurkers: The day Bristol City are relying on a better result than Accrington Stanley to get promoted from the basement league is the day I hang up my footballing scarf and realise life has dealt me a cruel, cruel hand.

    Now **** off.

    Our place is historically one League below you, and it looks good for now. Love him or mock him, our manager seems to be doing a great job. Could it be three promotions in a row? Too early to guess, but we're on the up at last.

    Pay attention flea brain 1+1=  go on i know you can do it :laughcont:
