    They are also called the Red Devils, that is their nick name.

    Definitely Manchester United or Chelsea. The level of owning a club like that eclipses owning an American team, just ask the Glazers (not a comment on how they've run it, just that they too saw the potential).

    I am not going to own Man U because I'm a Chelsea guy. I wouldn't own Chelsea either though. It would come down to the rockets or Yankees I guess.

    I'd buy the Cowgirls, then shut the franchise down.

    buy the Jazz, then move them to Vancouver!

    but seriously, I would like to own either the Astros, Rockets, Texans, or Dynamo, but FC Barcelona even more!

    You could trade Romo and Witten, then sign Jamarcus Russell, T.O., Pacman Jones, and trade for Haynesworth. The rest of the team you could fill with scrubs.

    Isn't the owner of Manchester United over a billion pounds in debt?

    If I could own a soccer club, it would be a team that wins without spending a fortune (see Real Madrid).

    Barcelona is the clear choice. How the hell do you get lucky enough to follow a prime Ronaldinho up with Messi.

    I don't like ManU since Wayne The Shrek Rooney plays for them. Good thing that they sold C. Ronaldo.
    And Chelsea was a mediocre club with no history until Abramovič took over.


    I'd be the owner of KK Zadar, my hometown basketball club. It's a city with great basketball history, as first organised basketball was already played in 1930. There's also a saying in Croatia: "God made humans, and Zadar invented basketball" :)

    I would own the Green Bay Packers. That whole city owning a team thing is way too communist, and in the interest of American greatness, I would end it.

    Just kidding, I'd own the Astros. Or the Canadian Curling Team.

    Easily the Rockets. I'd get to sit courtside every game, be called Mister Deckard by Dork Elvis, pass out tickets to whoever I felt like passing out tickets to. Change the rules at the Toy Box so that fans in the upper reaches could move down legally after the half, b**** at Stern and he'd have to listen... one could go on and on! Oh, it would be a gas. :cool:
