How much is IL actually worth? I know his Latics bid isn’t solely him but to have expenditure at the levels he’d have with both Warriors and Latics takes some substantial money.

Nothing like the money this guy rumoured to have bought a stake in us has I believe. I don’t really know but he couldn’t take Latics over alone from what you read.

Be careful not to break it. Did you know that he broke his leg in a game once?

I am more inclined to think that Lenagan has got involved because he is more concerned about the future of the Stadium.

Going off on a wild speculation/hope trail here but if true and the chap that’s invested is worth £700m+ could we look to finally have our own stadia again?

He is the 184th richest person in Brirtain

184 MIKE DANSON
Media
£743m ▲£88m
Danson, 55, a former management consultant, sold his Datamonitor market research group in 2007 for £502m and his proceeds and previous share sales came to £193m. He has since built up City-based information provider GlobalData, which after its float is a £625.3m operation. Danson sold a 1.4% stake worth £7.6m last October but retains a 68.1% holding valued at £425m, up £80m in a year. He acquired the New Statesman in 2008, driving the leftwing magazine to record readership levels through digital expansion and the addition of two websites. With his wife Helen he runs the Danson Foundation, which donated £1.5m to his old Oxford college, St Anne’s, to provide bursaries to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. It also supports disabled children in Cambodia and women’s education in Uganda.
2017: £655m, 195

Careful what you agree to, he may want it in the garden of his gaff in Barbados.

Haven’t really followed all of this WAFC stuff and certainly not reading 28 pages - I’ve seen a few mentions of impact on our use of the stadium; can someone sum up what the situation is around this and what our problem is?
Thanks.
