A question which should be put to the Coates by a journalistic with a pair of balls should be:
If Bet365 was performing as atrociously as Stoke City FC are playong at the moment and if Bet365 was risking going into liquidation in the same way that Stoke CIty FC are risking relegation, would you dismiss the CEO and the board or would you merrily keep them on board as you have done so far with Hughes, Cartwright and Scholes?

Two very different organisations run by two very different people who happen to be Father and Daughter. Would bet365 ever have got to be the number 1 name in online gambling with Peter Coates running the show? No way he's not ballsy or aggressive enough, would he be investing the mega bucks they do on aggressive advertising, technology, diversification of their product. Would he fuck.

"He's not ballsy" I assume you're another billionaire then? Point number 1 he is not a billionaire. Point number 2 How do I know he's not ballsy? by observing his behavior during two spells as owner and chairman of Stoke City.

Seriously, do you take yourself seriously? Or are you seriously serious.

Are you Nigel Pearson because you seem to have the same fucked up idea that responding in some sort of riddle is actually making a point it isn't. If we did agree, what would we both be wrong about. Do you even know?

As a small minority shareholder in bet365 (he owns less than 10% of the company) I doubt if Peter Coates has any authority to comment on questions about bet365. Any reporter who wanted an answer would be advised to ask Denise Coates not her dad. Has Peter Coates EVER commented on bet365 performance? I don't think so! Wisely he leaves such comments to Denise, who created the company and remains very much in control. Of course that is no reason for any reporter not to ask difficult questions of Peter Coates about the football club he happens to be Chairman of - but drawing comparisons between it and bet365 are simply beyond his pay grade.

So you're sitting there, a millionaire, at retirement age, and you sell your businesses and mortgage your family home, to set up what was at the time , an unknown business model, and it doesn't take balls? Tell me that when you've done it.

Tell me that when you've done it. He hasn't done it either. He didn't mortgage his home or sell all his business interests to fund the setting up of bet365 which he has had nothing to to with the astonishing success of. He sold his chain of Provincial bookmakers which was a fairly small player in the betting market. He helped fund his Daughters business start up but that business is run on a far more aggressive business model than anything he's ever done. You don't have to have done it to understand the truth of how it came about. Some people are ambitious some aren't, I retired aged 47 tell me when you or PC have done that.

I think that to equate relegation from the top level of the football pyramid with company liquidation is a little far-fetched to say the least. Also, unlike the betting industry, it is built into the system that three clubs will be relegated, which is part of what gives it its appeal. There would be no comparable inevitability that three betting companies would go into liquidation. Even if the owners of all the clubs who might be near the bottom took the action you suggest and appointed the world's best football managers and CEOs, three of them would still be relegated. A journalist who asked that question would not in my opinion be showing "balls" but naivety.

I thought a good wedge of the money he helped set bet 365 with was the wedge he trousered from the Icelandic consortium? He ripped them off by overpricing the club and came back a few years later and bought it back cheaper, in a way stoke city helped them on their way to success and that's why i think he has been allowed to indulge in his club not too much though eh that's why we will never go big as Denise will reign him in :-)

The money he contributed to help setup bet365 came from selling his chain of provincial bookmakers to one of the big players in the gambling world at the time Coral or Ladbrooks one of the traditional names anyway for about £30M.
