floyd__streete AZ balance sheet:

Positives:

- Single-handedly financed the signing of all time footballing great Jason Roberts.
- Signed an exciting partnership with Marussia F1, a team so poor that they’d lose a road-race around Whitley to a Ford Capri.

Negatives:

- Sacked one of the best and most popular managers this club has had.
- Saddled us with Nigel Adkins.
- Saddles us with high-earning crocks like Drenthe and Bridge.

Cheers Anton, it has been.....rubbish, mainly.

In light of this new information, here is a list of Anerican people:

Roy Wegerle
Christian Bale as Batman
George Bush x 2
Marilyn Monroe
The mum from Downton Abbey
Rocky and Bulwinkle
Corey Haim
Corey Feldman
Will Ferrell
Bobby Convey
Michael Douglas
Frank Sinatra
Sir Don Bradman
Danny De Vito
John Malkovich
Matt Groening
Bender
Fry
Lela
Not sure about Farnsworth
Homer
Maggie
Lisa
Bart
The kid who played Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L.
The Supremes
Hot Chocolate
Will I Am

By the way, I've seen council plans for when the Madejski Stadium was built and JM got permission to build a Batcave underneath the hotel. Could this mean the mystery investor is Bruce Wayne AKA The Batman?

We'd see a small spike in ambitious crime in the town, like people trying to burn The Oracle down with a giant magnifying glass in space, but petty crime like breaking and entering wearing stripy tops and swag bags will go through the floor.

Super Kevin Bremner! Cuba Gooding Jr


If Cuba Gooding JR is involved in the buyout, expect his Uncle Mick to be involved in the coaching set up somehow.

Wasn't Gentle Ben Canadian?

Jonny Fordham has just Tweeted to confirm that Gentle Ben is American.

Anyone who doesn't now have the Gentle Ben theme tune ringing through their head has no sunshine in their soul.

Is that an exhaustive list of Americans known to the UK or just the rumored ownership consortium?

Just looking into the Bradman revelations now, and can confirm for the purpose of this thread, that he is indeed American.

Should have that as the music reading run out to, with a montage of shots of Mark, Gentle Ben and Henry Boomhauer.
