I personally think this could go either way for the g*s. 

What happens with them doesn't really bother me either. What did bother me yesterday though was the brain dead dullard that kept using the take over of the g*s as an excuse to shout/sing racist slurs about it all afternoon. I've met some thick people in my time but you sir were right up there with the thickest. Very very poorly educated man.

Have you not heard the family worth 100 billion. Richer than the richest man on earth.

Wait until the clowns realise this guy is worth £20 million and the family around £130million, more likely to feature on the Fraud list than the Forbes rich list.

It's a very odd buy, very odd. My thinking is basically something like they have false expectations buy a club like that lot cheap, get them into the PL gravy train and sell on at profit...

A lot of the Blue Few are confusing the capitalisation of the banks which the al-Qadi's are part (note that word) owners of, with the worth of the family as a whole.  As we know, banks' money belongs to investors and savers not the business per se and is capitalised at typically 20x the value of deposits. 

I'm sure they are wealthy enough to write off the Gas debts, underwrite continuing losses and possibly build the UWE bowl with no sale required.  They will want a return eventually however. They are not in the "throwing money continuously at a club" league.

Were I a [shudder to think] R****s fan, I would be worrying about when that payback will be required.

It's absolutely outrageous... They seem blind to all the facts and continue to bang on about how ridiculously rich they now are...

[Fiale]

 Worse case scenario they own the mem and a football team to manage, best case, they get a nice new stadium, with multiple income options in a great location with a big and growing catchment area. So it was probably a good deal... i'd have done it myself if that scratch card this morning would had been more than £5

A lot of us are being more realistic as to the family's wealth.

Yeah, they are not billionaires, but they've got a bob or two. I'm still a bit uneasy about all this, but at least the guy is not talking about premiership in x years etc etc, so will keep my fingers crossed that his lack of wealth means that he will cut his cloth accordingly with regards to the way the club is run.

I'm more concerned about the Chairman's history tbh.

They arent building it straight off as they want to renegotiate the deal with UWE i suspect.

 

Previously we had no money and sale/leaseback of land and naming rights with UWE were required to finance the stadium.

I imagine Mr.Al-Qadi will want to be able to sell naming rights to whom he wants or name it the AJIB stadium an d pay Rovers creating Revenue.

 

There is also other land there with PP for Hotel etc that they are probably interested in

I can't imagine that UWE wouldn't be happy selling the land, especially as it's prime university real estate for future university development.

You've only got to look how UWE took over HP and built up its campus since the 90's to see how fast they're expanding. I don't think they'd give up the stadium footprint that easliy.

UWE won't sell the land, they aren't stupid. They want joint sports facilities, gym etc with campus shops and a stadium to hosts events/sport in - they asked Rovers to come in on the project to share costs, and give you guys a home, you pay rent and have a share of stadium income... win, win for you and UWE. Your owners don't have the money to buy the land, and why would a Jordanian bank (that your owners family have a 36% stake in) agree to buy naming rights ? I imagine UWE will look elsewhere if you are not interested, I know that they have thought about a indoor athletic stadium with a aim of getting competitions bought to Bristol as well as providing all the facilities they wanted for thier campus/students..... who knows maybe SL and Bristol Sport might get in on that as we need a Athletic stadium in Bristol and it's something on Bristol Sports radar I am sure.

 

Rovers are not the only people who can give UWE what they want.

I know for a fact HP is mothballing the site and still selling parts of it off to UWE, UWE will not sell the footprint as they need the car parking space and use of any facilities and classroom space, where is this other land for the hotel, I have not seen this in any plans?

So UWE are willing to sell off their land are they , so whats in it for UWE apart from a quick buck.

I also thought that UWE staduim was a unique partnership between football club and Univeristy  and that what made it special and more than just another staduim not my words but your fans on Radio Bristol. 

Again you have shown to have no ethics and are deluded in thinking UWE will just sale to you after all they have invested into the project.

Don't UWE own all the Watershed and a lot of the harbour side land and buildings ? I have no idea how they came into ownership but anyway, they are not short of a bob or two.

[Hello]

I am not suggesting that UWE will give up or sell the land, just that i imagine the Al-Qadis as business people money men will explore all opportunities.

 

As the deal stands the UWE name creates no revenue other than to build the ground when Rovers didnt have any cash and needed Sainsburys.

 

Now we can finance the project either through personal wealth or acees to investors being in that field and thus any naming rights be it AJIB or Joe Bloggs trading would create reveune for the club FFP and all that

 

There is other land out there to be developed. Whether The Al Qadis can get in on that i dont know but surey as investment bankers and Hoteliers they would be foolish to not enquire.

 

Maybe nothing will come of it but i would argue they have the responsibility to eye it up

I doubt anyone from the reds or the blues know, just the owners themselves. Still, be interesting to see if they're willing to put a real marker down to state their intentions.

If you owner was has wealthy as you suggest why would you need to sale naming rights. We still play at Ashton Gate , could have sold naming rights years ago but  we never sold out.

They can try, would be foolish not to, but a lot of Rovers fans seem to think UWE needs Rovers more than Rovers needs UWE - I understand they are excited to get rid of the potential of administration if Higgs failed in the Sainsbury's case and lost the Mem due to loans being set against it, but they seem to have gotten a little carried away.

What are you on about. Look around. fair play not selling the Ashton Gate name, but it is a way to create revenue for the club to spend and you know full well the cost of football as your own owner has financed plenty. That Carling Ateyo bloke you had was a good player wasnt he, or is that a great way to honour him when you have a billionaire sticking a cheap lager before his name?

Hold your horses there mate, I'm not suggesting that Lansdown will definitely go down that route BUT he is a businessman. The 'new' Ashton Gate with football and rugby could become a more attractive proposition for any large company prepared to part with big money to have their name attached to a stadium. Not saying I think it will happen but you never know...

Hopefully it'll never happen but if it did, people would still call it Ashton Gate anyway.

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

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.

They refused to give details of the takeover - incl payments to the directors and loans incl etc - we will have to wait and see.

I would hope they have paid off Wonga first

Taken from the Arab Jordan Investment Bank website ;- "Wael is passionate about football, loves to play, watch and attend football matches and tournaments, and is heavily involved In little leagues and kids' football academies in Jordan and is a board member in Amman FC academy. He is also a member of the marketing committee at the JFA".

Sounds like a perfect match.

I think what we can probably agree on is that they`re in a lot better position financially than they were a week ago and should be able to pay their bills now. What happens in the future is anyone`s guess  but I suspect it won`t involve them being completely asset stripped or signing Lionel Messi but somewhere in between.

We`ll have to wait and see.

Personally I have no clue, but they obviously have some. The AJIB shareholders were paid a 12% dividend last year according to the Jordan Times and they have plenty.of business interests.

As I say even if they dont have masses of personal wealth (relatively speaking) he atea they are in they have access to money and/or people with it

The fact he was sat in standard seating at Stamford bridge rather than in the posh expensive seats etc doesn't ring alarm bells about their truth wealth?

Hmmm, nothing has been paid off. He stated "debts will be paid off over time"

Again says quite a lot.

No I don't think anyone can agree. There has been zero evidence to back up any wealth. Nick Higgs was quite well off, wouldn't it be perfect if Higgs actually has more money than these lot?
