Yep, Mark Cuban was linked during the winter with a take-over. I personally would really enjoy it if he was involved in some way. My father actually had some business dealings with him a couple of years ago and he's a ruthless bastard but also a very, very clever man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Harris would have spoke to them regarding it out of interest, if all came back with Shearer then it would make sense to try and push it through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Fuck knows, Pilko. She was just there reporting on the players coming back for training (Martins was last in btw ) and said 'I'm told there could be something on [the takeover] front in the next couple of days'. Probably just been reading the papers but perhaps there's more to her comment than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
