Perhaps he's the public face of a consortium behind him? Btw, he's only 36, can he still play? |  |

I can image that some interpreter is getting a bollocking this morning. "I thought you said they wanted me to fly to a MANchester United game for some PR work!!!!" |  | |  |

"Maybe as a manager" doesn't sound to reassuring! We've already got a good one of those and decent training facilities, we just need a bigger budget and someone who knows how to run a football club. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Let's hope it's got some legs. Those Brazilian lads are in for a treat when they see Essex girls! Far better than anything they see back home! If RC is not content with the money that an Englishman can offer, and we have to be the play thing of a bunch of foreigners, I would much rather it be from an emerging country like Brazil, than a bunch of backstabbing US bastards that forget who their friends are. Late for two world wars, they're hell bent on starting the next one. [Post edited 26 Jan 13:40]

Absolutely, this would be the big worry. Colchester United don't just have a good manager, they have the best management duo below The Championship. |  | |  |

Fumaca? Wasn’t he a Japanese racing driver? |  | |  |

For those youngsters , this was the Brazilians super stars full career in the blue and white. Fumaça then joined Second Division side Colchester United, making his debut in only the second ever TV pay-per-view game when Colchester hosted Manchester City. Colchester lost the game 1–0, but not before Fumaça was stretchered off injured after just 14 minutes following a collision with Andy Morrison.[9] |  |

| Alexandre Pato on 23:18 - Jan 26 with 379 views | CrashBandicoot | I distinctly remember an advert in one of Col U's football programs many years ago what would happen if a young Brazilian player wanted to join our club but we couldn't afford him to obtain a loan from Nationwide building society. Though it didn't say anything about if a Brazilian guy wanted to buy our club but I doubt Pato would need to use Nationwide tbf... If he does buy the club does this mean we'll have young Brasileiro Serie A players coming in on trial or through player exchange programs? |  |

| Alexandre Pato on 08:08 - Jan 28 with 87 views | TAFKAT | Did they think they were buying Hearts? I mean, why would you bother with the hassle? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo Seriously, what the chuff is going on in the UK? Is there no one left in the country with a few quid? (Apart from betting firm owners). The vultures are down to the bones now. The Russians have pulled the strings of leading Tories and Nigel Manfrog for years and we jump everytime America blinks, I guess it's only a matter of time before old jug ears turns up for trooping of the colour with a waistcoat stating 'Sponsored by Emirates'. |  | |  |

I'm just gobsmacked by this, I mean, why FFS????? They struggle to get a crowd of 300, they get about an hour and a half of sunshine a year and the only time it stops raining is when it's going to snow. Ya cannie understand half of what they say and their main rivals are a team called Hill of Beath Hawthorn FC. No, seriously, that's their bitter rivals! If you were a yank with too much money, why wouldn't you buy a club: a) nearer to home. b) somewhere warmer c) somewhere where they spoke English d) somewhere where the prematch entertainment consisted of more than watching a dog take a dump in the centre circle. In the US, college American Football gets crowds of +40,000, so what's the attraction of Kelty Hearts? ....and finally, why would you need a consortium to aford it? Have they each chipped in a fiver or have they paid through the nose for it (hopefully the latter)? If there's any Americans reading that are desparate for a little slice of cute little Great Britland, I have some old bone china cups and saucers, pre-loved baked bean cans, and a roll of toilet paper that's only been used on one side, you can have the lot for £250,000. I'll even spend half an hour speaking Mockney to you, just for authenticity. [Post edited 28 Jan 8:57]
