J7 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 They seem to be basing the story on this: Arabian business sources say any group claiming to have enough wealth to launch a takeover and fund a transfer spending spree is likely to include the Sultan, who owns the world’s second biggest yacht.

There's two things wrong with your statement. Firstly, David Craig is NEVER on any ball. Secondly, this is very probably all bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone else fucking hate the term "war chest"? Not to mention how every article in the next few months re: transfer speculation will end with "when the transfer window slams shut on..." But war chest is a fucking annoying term, yes.

Cronky Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 If I were to post 'I'd like Bill Gates to take over at Newcastle', that could provoke the headline 'Bill Gates linked with Newcastle takeover'. 'Linked' covers all eventualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
