Any truth in this?

Sounds too good to be true.

I think this thread will be deleted soon, dunk doesn't like major rumour threads, and I don't know if it complies with the aup.

Same old same old. If there's anything in it I'll eat my hat.

Not gonna happen. Most of that article was just made up stuff and reports from 'the mirror".

It may happen in the future. When every team is owned by sheiks and the game goes to crap.

Hope not, we could do a lot worse and I think a change of owners would be a big risk. FSG are far from perfect but they don't take any money out of the club it's all reinvested plus they've put their own money in too. There are far more owners bleeding their clubs dry, Kroenke, Lerner, Glazers, Hicks and Gillet, than there are good ones like Abramovic and Mansour. Besides, I'd rather see us build a team than bring in a load of mercenaries who just come for the biggest wages.

What if those mercenaries land us the EPL or CL? All the top clubs have them, that is why they manage to win cups and leagues.

What's a mercenary in footballing terms? would james milner be described as a mercenary?

Everyone is running with the story now.

Wasn't there such a story a few years ago during the saga of H&G, when every foreign inverstor was linked with a takeover before FSG, if memory serves me right.
