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 it

Quite depressing that circa 75% of the EPL clubs are owned by non-Brits.

Remember when somebody says joy was a multi billionaire?

And getting worse!

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.

£300 million + ……The fellas done quite well . I wonder how he made most of it?

It's Obvious That Doug King Doesn't Sign Players He Can't Get A Return On, ie Make A Profit.

 

[samccov1987]

That’s a lot more than I thought he was worth.

Might apply to football contracts too !!

When he first came on the scene a few people tried to make out he had very little wealth, based on the fact that his annual accounts weren’t impressive. But he has multiple companies, all connected, you have to do an hit of digging but they’re all doing very well- more than I thought but it’s not a huge surprise really.

And another Neolib U.K. govt pretending to be ‘Labour’ so this trend can only get worse……

Circa?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Circa?

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?

Quite depressing that circa 75% of the EPL clubs are owned by non-Brits.

Not to mention all our utility companies, banks and construction/manufacturing. Makes you wonder doesn't it

He owns a hedge fund, I think.

How Doug King’s hedge fund made a killing shorting oil: ‘Investors don’t really get bear markets’

King’s RCMA Merchant Commodity Fund is up 26% this year. In 2014, it was up almost 60%

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 2009/10 wasn’t a great year for hedge fund capitalism but I get your point.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sorry, I don't think people who run hedge funds are impressive characters at all even if they've made themselves wealthy.

Talk about learning from mistakes as well haha.

Still think Doug King has no interest in football, and is hoping for a quick promotion and re-sale.
Obviously no complaints from me if we manage it and things seem to be running quite well at the moment off the pitch, but he's not owning and helping out the club out of the kindness of his heart.

It's why I've never been a fan of the singing of an owners name, or King getting involved in the squad photo or the laps of honour

You cannot plot Hedge Fund profit and loss results like normal trading companies. It's not the way they work
