Realistically speaking, it would not happen in this lifetime. Unless Blair incures some Iraqi wrath and terrorists revisit to bomb up all of Manure's properties, then that could happen.

It is said here in Russia ( :cool

, that there are no Russian blokes left for such sort of deals. The one you are probably speaking about was anticipated to do sort of thing, and another group of 'enthusiasts' attempted to purchase a club named 'Torpedo Moscow' (if you've heard about that one), had contracts with several european stars from here and there, but failed due to total current club's owner inability to think

. They are now most realistic person to perform a purchase of any club, but their target (if any) now seems to be a club from NHL, though some had wandered if its possible to buy MU, ruin it to the crap and arrange it as a RD1 club
