Cronky Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The record of American owners getting involved in the Premiership isn't great. American sports are run in a different way and I'm not sure if they really know what they're getting into. Fenway have done reasonably well at Liverpool, but they had the advantage of picking the club up cheaply, with the previous owners taking the hit.

Guest tollemache Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 My word. Half-time wrestling, pyrotechnics. WhupAss Park I hope this happens so long as the club is sensibly run. Is it fair to say it'd result in a popularity surge in the states do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just theoretically, let's imagine it happened. I think he'd be smart enough to hire someone that would advise him properly, he's no mug, clearly. I wouldn't be too arsed with WWE branding knocking about. Kind of bloke who'd want to be the best as well. I'm still surprised he's worth less than Ashley, genuinely don't know how. Wwe is a worldwide brand Didn't the SD shares sell for like mega bucks which made Ashley his cash. Not sure what the WWE share price is mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worry is that McMahon has failed in every non-wrestling business attempt. Okay, a second worry. That I'm giving this idea genuine consideration.
