Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach

I'd suggest that if their personal wealth went up into the tens of billions then we would know about it - they'd be regularly ranked by Forbes and other experts as among the richest families in the world - not just India. When you have that sort of wealth it is impossible to hide, no matter how secretive or private you are, just look at some of the names on the world rich lists and yeah, it's not an exact science but it's still a reasonable basis to work from.

This lot have next to no profile. No wikipedia pages, no appearances in rich lists, they're not very well known.

So I find it really hard to believe they are worth that sort of money. A net worth of a couple of billion I expect is the most they get to and once you tie a lot of that up in land and shares when you are sending cash to the tune of £20 million a year to a black hole in NW England it  must be having an impact they are uncomfortable with. Their approach over the last few years suggests they are.

They certainly wouldn't be baulking at paying tariffs on sending money over here if they had that sort of wealth.

In fact i'd say even that lot could've got us into the Prem by now if they had that much to chuck around.

Also there is no actual evidence of vast land ownership though i'd presume seeing as the VH group invested a lot in the Lavasa cock up they probably do own some of that land.
