    Over there, over there,
    Send the word, send the word over there -
    That the Yanks are coming,
    The Yanks are coming,
    The drums rum-tumming
    Everywhere.
    So prepare, say a prayer,
    Send the word, send the word to beware.
    We'll be over, we're coming over,
    And we won't come back till it's over
    Over there.

    Don't go getting everyone's hopes up again Pete. Not unless there really is something afoot. As the girls say, " don't say it, not unless you mean it".

    I really hope that there is something happening, but I won't get my hopes up. Unless someone knows better and wants to tell me.

    Don't want to be too downbeat but...

    Millionaire rather than Billionaire

    Track record of selling best players

    If this comes off, I'll be feeling a bit nervous. I guess I got over-excited at the thought of an American moneybags, unlimited riches etc. Doesn't this sound a bit underwhelming, or am I just being a bit ungrateful?

    We have sold our best players for as long as I can remember.

    @ Hartleypete

    Why the USA song if the take-over is a Belgian? More to this story or are you just pulling our pissers?

    Dont like the fact the Standard Liege fans protested because he sold their best players when he took over so Kermo,Stephens,Hamer and Wiggins will probably all be gone in the summer

    Hang on a minute, are any of us seriously giving stick to a bloke who may or may not have taken us over a nanosecond ago?

    I know mate. I was just hoping for better things in the future.
  • Done a bit of searching - at Standard Liege he sold best players and appointed unknown manager after taking over in 2011. Led to protests by fans, but now they are top of the league after summer purchases and fans are more grateful.

    He is chairman of a small Belgian political party that believes in a basic living wage.

    He is the 18th richest man.....in Belgium.

    If it is true, at least we will really know who owns us...
