So, what did prompt Robbie Williams to bury the hatchet with Take That?

Earnings from his company, 2006: £32million
Earnings from his company, 2009: £269,000

The Mail On Sunday does concede this ignores his earnings from elsewhere, but since those are tied to his celebrity and the celebrity emanates from musical popularity, his farm was looking very worked-out:

Williams’ music publishing business, Farrell Music, recorded losses of £536,000, while another of his companies, Little Youth, posted a loss of £65,000. Only the firm Robbiewilliams.com recorded a healthy profit of £400,000.

He wasn't about to need food stamps, but there's nothing like a spot of tailgating on Take That to boost earnings potential, eh?
