So about a year ago it seemed like every American with a private jet, and a trophy wife wanted an EPL side to call their own. The most notorious of these trans-Atlantic couplings was Manchester United falling into the hands of the Glazer family, owners of the NFL's Tampa Bay Bucs.
In an odd reach-around it's been revealed today that London's West Ham are prepping to field a side in Tampa, officially the most ironic thing not to be found on a hipsters tee-shirt. Mind you the gap between USL1 (where the Hammers side would play) and the EPL is massive, but the move is equal in size to the difference in motives between the 2 investors; the yanks aren't in it for the football -it's strictly about getting more paper- while the Europeans are aimed at improving their club through player development.

If that's true then who are these guys?
I know, I guess they never heard of Crystal Palace. I actually sent them an email saying so much...hate to be that guy, but somebody has to let 'em know.
I seriously think there shouldn't be any discrimination among the people.
all people should have equal rights....

It must be product driven with commissions paid on sales.
This is if you don't sure about yourself .
English Premier League is the most beatiful league around the world and i don't think that many teams have the skill to play there.
This is incredibly the best one so far I read.Thanks for sharing it.
