two yanks out, more coming in. Where is the middle east or asian money for the big teams?

[KeithD]

The only middle East consortium I'd trust is the one that runs Godolphin, and at least the Red Sox owner is in the sports business.

I have to agree, Sheikh Mohammed and his guys run an amazing operation, but i think hes a little busy these days getting his country out of the financial trouble they are currently in

Hicks is in US sport, however everything sport-related Gillett has been involved in has gone AoverT :doh

Ah well.... maybe the new owners will bring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck along :rolleyes:

On the other hand they might bring a load of mortgaged, boarded up Shopping Malls in places like Hicksville Nebraska

Ah well.... on the brightside.... it'll only be ManU in financial :action-smiley-081: :D

I would be cautious over the next US owners, its in their blood to asset strip, ask the cadbury workers:NoNo:

[KeithD]

You couldn't strip Liverpool down anymore :doh
