    Perhaps we might start to see some US talent in the squad? Although NFL, he may have connections that can help us in the recruitment area.

    Alan Pace must be one heck of a salesman.

    They are both sports fanatics with an estimated combined net worth of over $51 million. JJ Watt is a God in the NFL world and labelled as the best ever defensive back to play the game. Apart from the overall interest that they are generagting in the US even if they 'dabble' financially a couple of $m will pay a high quality players wages for a season allowing us to fund the initial purchase or even loan. His wife is showing a real interest in the ladies team having represented the US at international level.
    We are starting to see the benefits have have an investment company as our owners with other US sports stars also showing an interest.
    Can we please see this as a plus with exposure now in the USA and South Africa which are relatively untapped markets in the Englisg game apart from the odd US player we have at the moment.

    They did imply in the interview that they wouldn't be involved in that area, they would be respectful of the way the club is run, 'we know what we know, and we know what we don't know', besides which, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
