Very cynical attempt to get a free season ticket there off our prospective new owner, well off one of them anyway.

elman All billions are the same now,
1. (Mathematics) one thousand million: it is written as 1 000 000 000 or 109
2. (Mathematics) (formerly, in Britain) one million million: it is written as 1 000 000 000 000 or 1012
Still adds up to a lot of dosh


So which one is it? 10^9 or 10^12


10^9.

A Billion is one thousand million.

Don't know if I have missed something but do we know that this Yank investing in us is definitely the Texans owner?

Nope, but when have we ever let a small matter like the truth stop us?

Could be Bill Gates. Microsoft have their HQ in Reading innit? Yep, must be him. What a result, one of the richest men in the world. He also flew over Reading once, looked out of the plane window and fell in love with the place, apparently.

Still can't see past the Omani's, and still confident we'll hear some announcement in the next week.

I expressed this to jon Keen on twitter yesterday (before this all broke), but my feeling with Oman is that we are still building on the youth network we've been developing and that has been a red herring in the take over stakes.
