The Mail Bag
Robert Earl and his influential connections
Comments (1)
I have recently read an article published in the Guardian business pages concerning an English Multi-millionaire businessman named Joe Lewis . He apparently has his fingers in more pies than Little Jack Horner. I stumbled across this link when it as mentioned that when Dylan Thomas recently won the Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe. When the horse was being led in after the race there was an Irish flag and an Everton flag being carried in the procession.
It seems that Mr Lewis was once the mentor of John Magnier, Michael Tabor and a certain Robert Earl. A 21 year-old Robert Earl was told to prove his business acumen by being given £500,000 to invest whereupon he founded the ' Beefeater ' chain of restaurants!
This sparks a few questions: Was there any significance in the Everton flag at Longchamp? Are Magnier and Tabor interested in investing in Everton after their well publicised fall-out with Sir Alex? Or does this just prove that Earl is a very astute businessman with some very good connections who may be useful?
