Maybe they are interested in buying Southampton - didn't their owner want out after her Dad died ?

I believe he's an air traffic controller at BHX and he's been spot on re the comings and goings over the years of Randys aircraft, that said anyone who's a bit savvy with t'interweb can track an aircraft of interest.

For example http://www.flightradar24.com/51.5,-0.13/7

He was always the plane spotter at BHX over on VT, but made a big money move over to TBAR last summer I think. Nice guy judging by his posts and normally very reliable with his plane movements

I think he actually inherited the fortune and the business from his father, Robert Rich Sr. Hope that's where the similarities with Lerner end

He seems to be a reliable source of imformation.

Or a reliable source of information on the whereabouts of any wealthy owners private jets.

You can't beat a good bit of private jet speculation.  It's as though the only thing a private jet is used for is to buy a football club.

I'm guessing Rich is just a friend of Randys. He said in one of his interviews he'd never buy a premier league club because they are just a money pit.
(He owns, Bedlington Terriers a non league club)

Richie Rich I think, also in 'A Man for all Seasons' (played by a fairly young John Hurt) and a real person.
