John Ryan Net Worth?
« on June 10, 2023, 07:40:49 pm by Reesielad »
Just curios, does anyone know how much he's supposedly worth?

Is it true that he basically ran out of the necessary funds to keep us in the Champ on his own?

a) probably but they are unlikely to tell you on a public forum

b) he needed extra funds to get us in the Championship. He never kept us in the Championship on his own.

No idea where I've plucked this from but I always had a figure of £40 million in my head. I suspect that comes from the reported figure that he sold Transform Medical Group for back in the 90s when he made his fortune.

If numbers of that nature are correct, its will obviously make him a very wealthy man indeed and someone who back then could easily sustain a Conference/League 2 and possibly even League 1 club on his own.

Its obscene isn't it that these days, that kind of money is chicken feed in the modern game.

I think he sold transform for 22 million.

Anyway whatever his net worth is irrelevant really. He isn’t on our board any more. I don’t expect he will be coming back in that capacity.

22 million is peanuts in terms of owning a Professional Football Club.
You can spend half of that in 2 Years just trying to get out of League 1 into the Championship.

Ryan sold Transform Medical in 2002. That’s two decades ago and he hasn’t had a major disposal since then. A rich and wealthy guy but no good thinking JR can make much financial impact on the club. Even if he wanted to after sinking millions over the years.

20 million is about the worth of a peanut in today's football in which moral values are worth nothing, sportsmanship very little and a EUFA fine for throwing a missile is probably a handful of popcorn but try to get a Premiership player for 20 million ..no chance. This football world needs clubs like ours more and more if it is to survive as our forefathers knew it. Supported and sponsored by its community and embracing values other than those expressed in $£€ terms.
I understand John is trying to get the community behind Grant Gavin and Terry (his words) .

If memory serves John was in the Sunday Times Rich List Annual Review early 2000's and he was worth an estimated £25M. Fantastic if you've got it but small fry in footy ownership terms

Just remember the taxman takes a large chunk of any equity sale. The sale price isn’t what gets received by the owner.

Nothing to do with us but one thing I will say is that TB has been very generous and goes about it in a very quiet manner.

Agreed, nothing really to do with us.

However, I do remember him being one of the directors of MYA 'Make Yourself Amazing' who were our shirt sponsors for the Johnstones Paint Trophy.

Is it not true that people are generally very secretive about their money, especially when they have a got a lot of it? The "Sunday Times Rich List" always attracts attention, but it must be largely speculation. Governments all over the world devote a great deal of their resources trying to pin down and tax wealth, so how a bunch of journalists can do better is very mystifying.
