What would be of interest to him in the Liverpool waters project? Quite a few people have mentioned this, has he been involved with similar projects in the past?
Nope mate, which is why it's the type of project which would attract him, he has had his finger in many a 'new venture' in the past, and by and large has struck gold with them all, his step son has been involved in quite a few property and business developments though funded by dear old dad.
Simply put, he is a weird cookie, he loves sport and gives away a ridiculous amount of money to various foundations, massively into tech companies - whilst being involved hugely in the steel and mining trade, one look mat him can tell you how he likes to have the finger in a lot of pies
But in essence he is someone who sees opportunities and takes them, Liverpool waters is a big one, and it also would give him a much higher international profile which in Russia = a degree of political protection - hence Abramovic and Chelsea in essence
