Andrew Petit

I saw Andrew in panto once. He was in RUMPlestiltskin...

I've had enough of this thread now, though to be fair there have been some good efforts. So I'm off to take a Butchers somewhere else. UTM

Not going to be a popular opinion I know, but find it a bit boring/irritating when clicking on a post thread and finding it full of puns like on this thread. Perhaps a separate subsection could be created for puns (like the Non Footy one on here).

I like humour as much as anyone, but would prefer to not trawl through a bunch of puns when reading opinions about the actual post subject.

You want this thread cutting off in its prime?
You really have to take it for better or for wurst.

Quoted from WayneBurnettsJockstrap

It was mentioned several times by different people regarding the takeover that TWO of the trio were very wealthy.

Im guessing that they were talking about Shutes and Stockwood. Pettit is a true GTFC fan and so if he is prepared to be part of the Holy Trinity, and Shutes and Stockwood value his input, then who are we to argue?

Rough figures, and taken from companies house website; Pettit net worth 130M, Stockley net worth 50M, Shutes net worth -3M, even if they aren't entirely accurate, as suggested by someone on an earlier post, I think its safe to say they are minted!

Obviously I wouldn't expect them to start slinging cash at it, just because they have it, but if they could stump up 30M or so it would be very gratefully received!!!  

It's Stockwood FFS I've heard so many names for him, I've heard Stockton, Stockdale, Stokesley and now Stockley.

It is none of them, it is Stockwood.

Companies House figures are a) inaccurate and B) related to the Net Asset Value of entire business'. Yes, being a director of a private company tends to equal large shareholding, but in the case of say Stockwood, just because he's a director of simply business does not mean he got anywhere near the 500m it sold for . Fairly sure he is someone, who throughout his career has managed to raise large sums from funding, backing from rich individuals/venture capitalists to fund his projects/businesses.

Being a director in this instance, he won't have a particularly large shareholding, and the majority of any profit he will have made would have come in the form of a performance based bonus/ the fact he 'drew in' the business /sale.

As for companies House, one of the key floors is that with Petit for instance, the NAV of the firms he is director of is multiplied due to the same company being listed under different names, dissolved and branched out. It's fairly typical with commercial property /investment (which I work in).

In terms of people's net worth, again these are incredibly inaccurate. Several close family members of mine, when looked up on these websites have their 'net worths' wrong by between 1m and 60m .

Sometimes it's an under-valuation, sometimes it's over. My point is, it's incredibly inaccurate. A friend sold one of his private business of which he was the majority shareholder for near 100m recently, yet companies House gives him a negative net worth , which I know as a categorical fact to be completely wrong...
