    I fully agree, I was not knocking the lady, good luck to her.

    I have the great good fortune of calling this lady a close personal friend, and if you knew her then you would know that a) she gives a big chunk of that away, b) she works like no other person I have ever known and c) she has the most astute business brain of any one I've ever met, or am ever likely to meet.

    And she's looking to buy a league one club in SE London?

    Regrettably, no.

    I've tried, believe me I've tried.

    Should've spent more of her salary on players instead then Stoke might've stayed up

    Can't she just lend you a few quid to buy it instead?

    that's even more than Ray (free sex fife) Winston .. as a private/family business, all dividends and profits are (of course) paid to the family ..
    perhaps she and her kin should splash a bit more on Stoke City, otherwise the Potters could be doomed to a long stay in the Championship and that would be a right drain on resources

    No one earns that much. She's a bookie, they take money from idiots. Any other walk of life would call it stealing.

    Well yes she has earned it, she's built a company up from nothing over 20 years, had the foresight to predict the future success of online gambling and is now a billionaire. If it was that easy, i'm sure others would've done it. Good luck to her.

    Also no one seems to have mentioned (apart from @bobmunro) that she also gave £75 million to charity last year.

    r money overseas etc, and the Stoke City chairman was asked to interview but declined...

    If i earned 250m+ a year, i wouldnt worry about giving 75m to charity in order to be able deflect and say what a kind generous person i am.
    What charity does she give it to, Gamblers Anonymous?
