ITV "Rich List"

by Dirk Gently » 19 Apr 2007 21:57

Just seen this is on ITV now with a trailer of JM in part 3 talking about owning RFC.

Not sure if he'll say anything new but they are quite in-depth profiles so could be interesting.

He's just said that he sees a Premier League team as being "the ultimate fashion accessory for every Billionaire"....

He's always said it'd have to be someone richer than him that buys it so the list is interesting in that sense. If we rule out some of the foreigners eg Mittal and the toffs eg Duke of Westminster it becomes obvious that the man to buy Reading will be Richard Branson!

Failing that it'll be Stelios and he can chage the kit to orange and rebrand the team as easyFootballClub
On the plus side, if we got Stelios, tickets would be dirt cheap but there'd be a lot less legroom!

:lol:

It would also be quite possible that the game might be cancelled or severely delayed, and tickets would be non-refundable! The game being diverted to an alternate stadium due to bad weather might also be a problem!

Turnstiles will be opened at the last minute with an almighty scrum, as the request for families to come through first is ignored.

No more tickets either, we'd all have to sign up and give some moron at the turnstiles our code to get in

We're already upsetting the establishment by coming from nowhere (in the eyes of the media at least) and giving the badly managed "big names" a run for their money with a fleet of young highly efficient players, and honest modern management style.

The appalling, over priced food, incompetant service personel and morons dressed in fluorescent orange (and yellow) jackets can't be a coincidence either. Something is definitely afoot.

I'd say the ownership of the club and his future intentions are pretty relevant.

But if one of the mods wants to move it I will happily bow to their superior wisdom....
