Coventry City: Doug King's net worth compared to the richest Premier League owners
How does Coventry City owner Doug King's net worth stack up in comparison to his top flight counterparts?
PR ain't it,the battles on here!Is this some sort of "insult Doug King so he sells" thread by someone who hates City?
It's bad enough listening to the know all's who know F... all about MR.
Not at all, I like Doug, was just posting the article because I found it interesting, it also shows his net worth is more than the Brentford owner if you care to read itIs this some sort of "insult Doug King so he sells" thread by someone who hates City?

And getting worse!Quite depressing that circa 75% of the EPL clubs are owned by non-Brits.
That's neo liberal global capitalism, why be surprised most of our utility companies are owned by foreign companies , Heathrow Airport is owned by the Spanish.And getting worse!
Speculation on oil at the opportune moment from what I've read!£300 million + ……The fellas done quite well. I wonder how he made most of it?
hE can aford Matty james then

Yep that is a worrying trendIt's American owners in football that concern me the most
Circa?Quite depressing that circa 75% of the EPL clubs are owned by non-Brits.
Circa?
Not to mention all our utility companies, banks and construction/manufacturing. Makes you wonder doesn't itQuite depressing that circa 75% of the EPL clubs are owned by non-Brits.
I couldn't be arsed to count exactly and there were a couple who I didn't know if they were British or American for example so it was a rough count.
That ok mate?

He owns a hedge fund, I think.£300 million + ……The fellas done quite well. I wonder how he made most of it?
He owns a hedge fund, I think.
I do think this shows what a seriously impressive character Doug is. It was sort of played down at the time of the sale with the impression he was some sort of bumpkin who had done well out of reprocessing rapeseed oil out of some sheds in Stratford.
Especially when you compare it to the SISU fund which just seemed to bumble along without a huge sense of purpose or results .
He has learned to run a football club very quickly and clearly is interested in maximising his return on investment. What this means for Robins is probably ominous if the required success doesn’t come. He certainly isn’t afraid of making a decision and is a lot more hands on than I thought he would be.
Or did he just get lucky betting on Red when everyone else was banking on Black…?
Well
Talk about learning from mistakes as well haha.Sorry, I don't think people who run hedge funds are impressive characters at all even if they've made themselves wealthy.

You cannot plot Hedge Fund profit and loss results like normal trading companies. It's not the way they workWell 2009/10 wasn’t a great year for hedge fund capitalism but I get your point.
