Even Williams considerable wealth wouldn't guarantee anything.
Heed the John/Sheeran paradigm.
In the early 70s John Elton was the biggest megastar in the whole wide world. He put lots of money into Watford and, with his help, they became a competitive top flight club.
The modern equivalent is Ed Sheeran. He must be worth millions and is one of the biggest superstars in the world. But he sponsors Ipswich and didn't buy them. Even his colossal wealth wouldn't get his club where they want to be.
Also, putting money into a football club is a bottomless pit. A thankless bottomless pit.

Think it's hit a stumbling block because some of the money was going towards soap in the bathrooms and hygiene measures.
Big protest march planned tomorrow apparently

They're both wealthy by any normal standard. But they're probably not football club wealthy. Robbie hasn't had a big hit or record contract for years. They're not businessmen with a constant stream of income coming in, they've amassed their fortunes through their careers and now they're basically retired with incremental money coming in from royalties, the odd concert and the seniors tour that Taylor does. One big pot that once it's gone, it's gone.
Fair play if they do it and it might help improve the facilities and things like that. But they haven't got the kind of money needed to bankroll the playing side for longer than a very short term period. And FFP doesn't really allow rich owners to bankroll a club any more anyway even if they were mega rich. Look at ourselves.

Without reading the article is it something do with just a question asked on talksport on whether each one of them would ? If so then they were probably just being polite to the question asked.

Denise took more home in last 12 months than these down and outers have amassed over their lives. About a measly £240mil for Blobbie, and Phil around £10m mark.
Either way, although Robbie is thick, he'll be advised not to spunk away money, and knowing a few stories about Phil, he'd be too tight to.

Robbie Williams still makes a lot off royalties, gigs documentaries etc. and probably is wealthy by league one owner standards. His estimated worth is £200 million so even if you were conservative he's probably worth 50-100 million. I'm guessing the current vale owners are worth about 10-20 million at most? I doubt he'll pump anything into the club and even if he does I doubt it'll have much effect. As we can see from stoke, money can't always fix a football club. |

Can't see Phil Taylor having significant money He's probably got decent money and is secure and everything. But growth in football requires ridiculous money. And lots of very wealthy people don't have it |

Didn't Phil leave two of his daughters to live in squalor in smack head ridden bedsits rather than give them some money to help them out? Granted, I don't think they'd made good life choices and had brought many of their problems onto themselves and he doesn't want them to become dependent on the bank of dad knowing there's always a bail out regardless of how badly they mess up. But to not help when they've clearly got themselves into a very bad position is very cold. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I remember reading. |

Taylor will have very little disposable net worth and he had next to zero current income from playing darts.
On top of that he’s as tight as fuck

There used to be a joke going around saying "how do you make a small fortune from involvement in a football club", the answer being to start off with a large fortune!" Which seems quite appropriate in this instance.
Mind you a £100 for Vale from each of them would probably make a huge impact and difference.

A colleague has just asked what would be the point of trying to transform the fortunes of Port Vale. It would be like the modern day equivalent of the mythological "12 Labours of Hercules!"

I bought the power a pint of Worthington in the golden lion Newcastle not long after his 1st or 2nd World title. Tight bugger didn't buy me one back. He seemed a pleasant enough fella though. |

He tried to make conversation with me at Classy Chassis once, had no idea who he was until the salesman said. He was driving a Volvo estate and apparently had just won his first title so must have been upgrading. He was playing folk for money in a pub in Singapore once also but passed ...he was charging to play him |

Had a Quick Look at the tables earlier on whilst scoffing my dinner at work & realised that they’re only 3 points off the relegation zone… thought they’d won the league a couple of months ago?
Football can turn around so quickly.
