The Yanks aren't used to it-doesn't matter how shit you are you will still be in the league next year and the shitter you are the better young players you get.

Maybe they will think differently to running the clubs, and what clubs they buy, instead of just turning up and thinking that all clubs are successful businesses.

They are out there looking for clubs with a potential. Buy in the Championship or League 1, invest a few quid and sell at a massive profit if they reach the Prem.

I cant think of much cases where this has actually happened, seen a lot of takeovers due to losing money though.

What do these foreign owners actually want to happen? Keep teams like charlton and bradford in the premier league and lower the whole standard? Ridiculous idea

Wigans chairman said he would pull them out of the prem if this comes in-who is he trying to kid?
