According to the BBC, with the sale of Everton half the Premier League will be owned by Americans. To think, they'd barely heard of the game when I was a kid.
How many Football League clubs are foreign owned now? You wonder how many owners have the best of intentions for the club and are not in it for the money or glory.
And if I have to hear anymore about bloody Wrexham I will explode!

It's cricket that baffles the Americans. I used to work for an American company. They couldn't imagine a game where you stop for tea. Also, I used to tell 'em, when a batsman comes out he goes in. Then when he's out he goes back in again.

Saw Steve Hackett last year, first half of the show was his solo stuff which was a bit self indulgent but the second half was Foxtrot from start to finish followed by the Genesis classics from his time with the band. The lead singer was so good that if you closed your eyes it could have been Pete Gabriel!

The day they understand the danger of a late inswinger with a wobbled seam I will become concerned about their influence on cricket.
The grass is always greener.

Why Colin y'all, we call that the Hokey Cokey around here.
whatever is said, money or "paper money" talks ( money in accounts which may be fronts?) the prem lge and now EFL do not care who buys a club, they ignore it all as long as money flows, like at their ignorance over ROMAN at that lot? and shinatwa ay man citeh? fit and proper?? they did not act on agents either. then again few chairmen spent money in the old days, ageing wooden stands killed fans and that caused changes ( hooligans didn't help, so fences went up) . where will european footy be when the arabs have a huge successful league of their own and pee off?

I tried explaining cricket to a Canadian in the queue for passport control in San Francisco on the way home from New Zealand in March.He seemed to get it a bit more when I compared it to baseball and having batters at 1st base and home plate that run between them. I’m

Groucho Marx was once taken to a Test Match at Lords. At the end of the day's play, he was asked what he thought of it. "When does it start?", he asked.

Anyhow, I came on to this thread to ask why US owners should be any worse than English ones. You know, like Andy Pilley, Ron Noades, Ken Bates, Owen Oyston etc.
And this goes all the way back through the likes of Louis Edwards back as far as this lying, cheating, bribing owner of both Arsenal and Fulham, Henry Norris, who as well as being a property developer, prominent Freemason, Member of Parliament, oh and close friend-of-the-Archbishop of Canterbury(!), also played a prominent part in the foundation of Chelsea FC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Norris_(businessman)
Not even the good 'ol US of A could produce someone worse than that scumbag!
