oneredtrim 148 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) He bought the club for £10 (presumably cleared shit loads of debt) and then then put £50m of his own cash into the club, ok they didn't reap any sort of success out of it but they had a few bashes at the prem and have a great ground now and his legacy in that respect lives on.When he sold the club (for a tenner, got his money back ha ha) to Steve Morgan he insisted that £30m (the actual value of the club) was invested into wolves to sustain them and keep them afloat rather than receive it himself.What a guy!!! But sadly such kind acts have now been outlawed, a sleeping giant in the midlands would be ripe for further investment but alas ffp will put the blocks on that. I can imagine Ellis is ill, he did speak out with regard to what other medium clubs are thinking voting for FFP, no revenue, no cash investment...means he cant find a buyer....shame he did'nt have words with collymoore to stop him embarassing himself slagging new money clubs for the past 2 yrs only to do a role reversal once the penny dropped....what a mong.
