Nope.

Neither. It's not on tv.

Yes I did read it. But you just seem to throw numbers around without any context. 12% is meaningless. 12% of what? (It was 12% of the Bank's capital.) I was adding some actual value to that number.

Do you actually know what the 12% number means? They distributed a dividend pot of JOD18,000,000. The Al Qadi's own approximately 31.1% of AJIB. The dividend distribution to the Al Qadi family is therefore JOD5,598,000 JOD5,598,000 = GBP5,568,280 It's nice. But it's no billionaire family.

They've gone with billionaire (probably because some G*s on their forum said it's true. He also apparently said he was now 100% with Bristol Rovers. But he couldn't wait to get along to Stamford Bridge. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Mem-Stamford-Bridge-New-Bristol-Rovers-owner-Wael/story-28779181-detail/story.html

It's impressive that some Larry from Horfield can find out but Forbes are totally unaware. http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/#version:static

Oh God. He's from the Vincent Tan school of football club ownership.

5 minutes added time. COYR!

Some of the numbers being thrown around are laughable. The family own 31.1% of the bank Arab Jordan Investment Bank according to a piece earlier in the thread. There are 150,000,000 shares in AJIB with a current value of JOD1.78/share. Total market capitalisation of AJIB: JOD267,000,000. 31.1% of JOD267,000,000 = JOD83,037,000. JOD1 = GBP0.98 JOD83,037,000 = GBP 81,456,081 Prices from: http://sdc.com.jo/english/index.php?option=com_public&Itemid=28&security_report=111005 Translate above link to English and the family members showing as shareholders are: Abdulkadir Abdullah Ahmad Judge, Hani Abdel Qader Abdullah judge, Samer Abdul Kader Abdullah judge, Wael Abdul Qader Abdullah judge - those names give us a 30.19% stake in AJIB so the family stake in AJIB may be slightly less than calculated. They've probably got other business interests but Sheik Mansour this is most definitely not.

So they're owners of 31.1% of AJIB.

Based on assets of AJIB. What's their stake in that bank now? Just uneducated people seeing a number and running with it.

What a look. "Quick, Nick! Chuck a sign on the floor."

Like a well oiled machine...

Think you're misunderstanding! The £70m is the suggested family worth, not the club worth.

Also with Pula Sport Limited now holding the shares in Bristol City Holdings, we don't know the ownership structure of Pula Sport. Not sure information is publicly available as a Guernsey registered company.

If my aunt had balls...

They've had 4 shots?

Yes, signed for 2 more years, will be around from June next year. http://www.gloscricket.co.uk/klinger-commits-for-two-more-years/

Not the first time Hampshire have made a game out of a match despite the weather conditions. They did it vs Glos in 2013 http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/593566.html - different circumstances perhaps but some consistent names between then and now.

Good luck to the driver trying to navigate his way through the crowds...
