    I watch the MLS week in, week out - the trend is much more towards authenticity & much less of the crazy old NASL days. Teams have been ditching the crazy names and going with European influenced simplicity - Toronto FC, Sporting Kansas City (formerly Wizards), FC Dallas (formerly Burn), Orlando City - many teams are building soccer specific stadiums. It's a fine league with some great players!! None of this is relevant to us I guess - just the soccer loving Yanks arent all that different to us these days....

    Looks to me that a Turkish newspaper has used Google to translate the Daily Mail article.

    According to the article when he bought the Sixers they were:
    "an ugly duckling, perpetually mediocre. The most boring, least star-studded franchise and their home attendance was horrific. They were without a star and with no legitimate chance of winning anything, but were located in a big-time city"

    I'm beginning to see why he might be linked with us......

    ha - made me chuckle..

    I heard they are in a room at this moment with the Russians , Swedes , Arabs and Turks discussing a counter offer...
    Ah yes, the world's richest and most successful people are currently begging TJ and MS to let them buy the club.

    the true saviour is Jonathan Acworth. He wrote to Josh Harris months ago alerting him of the investment opportunity

    Interesting news and potentially good news. Not because this lot are guaranteed to be any good but it would seem the existing lot do not have the desire to keep things funded any longer so almost at a point where any change is better!

    A new rented ground at the Peninsula and the team running out to Star Spangled Banner or something rather than Red Red Robin.

    Enjoy.

    You can tell by peoples posts that we've been here before and learnt our lesson. Zabeel did a bit of damage!


    Exactly. Not even worth getting excited about until you see him a press conference announcing he's bought us.
