Have the support got the patience for an approach that tries to build that foundation? Expand I have the feeling that it is a long term thing for the Americans. I don't think that they can buy another NFL team, as the rules probably preclude it, and other barriers to entry (price, principally) would be huge. Extending the 'empire' into other US sports, at the top level, would be similarly extortionate. European soccer, thus, looks like a decent bet, for a price less than prohibitive. Rangers, Scottish football, is something of an outlier, literally, and it doesn't seem to me that anyone bona fide could make a short term killing, or at least a quick return of such significance as to pique the interest of heavy hitters in the sports business world. (Jumped up corner boys, these guys are not.) In other words, significant players will -of necessity- look to a longer term return. Do you drink instant coffee? I don't. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
