    Bit of a mixed record with Cal McNair at the Texans. Very strange when he first inherited them. Hired a guy called Jack Easterby who I believe was a former chaplain and pretty much gave him control of the organisation and he made some bizarre decisions, lost a lot of good coaches and players and also had to deal with their quarterback sexually assaulting several massage therapists. 

    Since then… they look like they’ve got their sh!t together and have a good head coach and young quarterback, one of the best defenses in the league and are playoff bound. 

    I’d take his money but wouldn’t want him having too much influence on the club. 

    Guess it's one like Woody Johnson and Palace where their previous records in sports are a bit questionable but if they don't have that much influence (I'd assume Friedman, Brener and Rosenfeld would still be the largest shareholders) so someone like McNair would only be a similar percentage to them.

    Unreliable interweb site says he's only worth $4bn. Don't want a pauper owning our club.
    Houston Texans sit between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Forbes rich list of sports teams. 

    Actually 43 of the top 50  teams are from the US - it may explain why so many Americans take a punt with their loose change in English football.



    The dollar will probably begin to go down in value in the next decade so now’s the best time possible for the American mega rich to buy up European assets.

    Oh Woody Johnson is another level. The man is a disaster. Hopefully that rubs off on Palace.

    I don’t think anyone is investing in Charlton as a hedge on their American investments!

    I do get however that an upcoming game against Chelsea might help reel in a few unsuspecting / uneducated investors.

    Any local squirrels should be worried if he comes in.  Likes shooting animals.

    From an online search he’s quite a fan of Charlie Kirk. Wouldn’t have expected him to know so much about an Altrincham winger. This and a couple of other things lead me to believe there’s not much substance in this rumour.

    That's a worry because Kirk is a write off. Not even scoring at Altrinchham 0 goals from 9.
