Just a thought...

After watching maybe the best club side in the World at the moment, our owner could afford to buy them, why mess around with Fulham??

[ScalleysDad]

Possibly he checked that an NFL pitch would not fit in The Eitiad before throwing money at it this time.

LOL, hadn't thought of that!

[The Old Count]

When he bought Fulham he saw an opportunity to 'add value' without risking too much money (relatively) with a sport he knew he didn't understand.

And he was right - he didn't understand it.

Question of who is for sale with good underlying land development value perhaps.

What a strange post.

What a strange post.

On several levels.

It's a constant source of merriment to me that Khan is regarded in some quarters as a kind of bumbling incompetent.

Just because you can afford something doesn't necessarily mean you can buy it.

The Etihad Stadium is, unlike Manchester City FC, owned by Manchester City Council. It's dimensions are entirely suited to American Football.

Finally, a question to all our fans: Which would you rather own? Fulham or Manchester City?

You should drop him a line and make him an offer Dave.

Yes, all great points.

I'd also question whether he could in fact afford the club. The amount of money that's been pumped into City over the years to get to the point they're at now, most people outside Middle Eastern oil oligarchs would have long run out of cash.

If you could shoe horn a gridiron pitch into the Cottage where would all those extra players sit? Maybe that's why he's developing the Riverside  086.gif


Actually why would anybody buy a football Club? There are better ways to make money and unless you own one of the very top clubs not much chance of any appreciation.

If you have the time have a read of this.

Ego.

Any other questions?

Blimey. I posted this simply to beat Woolly to it. If the smiley faces had worked it might have been accepted as a bit more
tongue in cheek. Lesson learned.

What happened to the upscale flats beside the Thames?   :hook:

Here they are:


Just to remind ourselves of the kind of thing that might occur if we had a really bad owner.   
Don't bother looking for a football pitch - not required under this scenario.

Maybe it is Matt, but your theory is? I won't go down the route of which owner do we prefer MAF or SK, as on performances/contributions/management structuring/investing in the club and the future, it is (so far) a 1 horse race!!

tell me which chairman was successful in actually getting us out of the cottage and required a suppoorters group to help get us back?

[Keynsham]

There really is no limit to this crap, is there?
