Would be very good for us if it happens !

The Evening Standard can reveal that Paul Allen has expressed an interest in making a takeover bid for Southampton, the listed football club vying for promotion to the financial riches of the Premiership.

where does he live now?

Broadmoor?

Ther'es only one Steve Gibson.. Here for the persuit of sporting glory,and the Good of Middlesbrough Football Club.We are blessed with the best Chairman. Will he sell out? Will he fuck. The rest are in it for profits,sadly for the clubs longterm

Not to dissuade you too much, but Allen's track record as a sports owner here is so-so, at best. With his horrible hiring decisions in terms of the personnel for the Portland Trail Blazers, he's nearly ruined one of the best community supported franchises ever into a nationwide joke for inept management and moronic players who'd rather get high than concentrate on their job, a nightmare from which we are just beginning to recover from. (He has done a bit better with the Seattle Seahawks, but since they are located in his home town, he can't get away with the same crap that he did in Portland, the two towns are about 180 miles from each other).

I'm not one to go into panic mode with the idea of foreign ownership of a sports team, provided that the prospective buyer knows something about the team or sport, or has a very close adviser who does, but I'm not sure that Paul Allen can boast any of that.

Nothing like a neighbor chiming in eh?

HERE'S a good article about Mr. Allen and his business dealings with the Blazers.

Your right,

We have not had a great deal to shout about in the last few years except for a fatastic new ground, a visit to cardiff and beating you guys twice. ( All a distant memory now)

Since then to be fair its been pretty shite !

The whole Harry thing was a total piss take, I can't blame you for feeling smug.

Im sure we will rise again and look forward to knocking you out of the FA Cup , League Cupe, Euefa Cup and Champions League !!!!

And grabbing a cheeky six points too !

Apparently some skate broke in to the St mary site whilst it was being built and hid a pompey scarf under the penalty spot. We have been cursed ever since.
