Just been a feature on local ITV news programme on Tony Stewart ,Chairman of Rotherham Utd, who is celebrating 10 years of ownership.
So far he has “invested “ £33m of his own money.

Good for him :tumbleweed:

I'm guessing the sheer majority of that was spent on the new ground.

Lets hope he gets something back for such a large investment in a lower league Club.

My point is that we are doing alright to be on a par with them when we have invested nothing like that money.
Also it’s a stark reminder of how much it can cost to achieve even a modest level of success

The current board at Argyle have invested approximately £7m of their own money since 2011 and if you add Hallett’s loan that rises to £11m. So for another £20m we could be 3 places higher in the league.

That’s about £6.95 million more than I’ve invested

Do we NOT have any Lottery Jackpot winners who live locally AND are big Argyle fans ?

Surely.

Keep the Faith :scarf:

Given that the average championship club loss is around £10 million per season, then his investment is pretty average, and has seen a poor return, given they were recently relegated.

As a matter of interest, what is the source of those figures? Not arguing with them, just can't recall them being openly available before.

That is £15M more than Tottenham's net transfer spend since 2014. I wonder, who is the shrewdest investor?
