on the plus side, Anschutz is one of a couple of guys keeping soccer alive over here. It's not mentioned here but he's one of the main investors in MLS and without him and Lamar Hunt, this league would be dead. That said, United should stay in the hands of the fans, not one person or corporation
-----Original Message----- Subject: [RedDevils] Takeover - once again Seagulls takeover speculation once again? ------------- U.S. Billionaire Eyeing Manchester United, Paper Reports LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. billionaire Philip Anschutz has identified British football club Manchester United Plc as a potential takeover target, the Mail Sunday newspaper reported. But the paper said Anschutz, unknown in Britain despite being the owner of the Millennium Dome in London, was unlikely to launch a bid for English football's champion team in the near term given his U.S. business interests and his work on relaunching the ill-fated Dome. Anschutz made his fortune from U.S. local telephone company Qwest Communications International Inc., which he founded. Manchester United is regularly the subject of bid speculation and talk flared up again earlier this month, helping the company's shares hit a two-year high last week.
