Have said this for years. Why we dont play on the obvious historical US links is mental. Its our USP to one of the biggest potential markets in the world. We all know how patriotic the americans are and we play in red and white stripes and have original Washington within our local authority area. I think we are the only UK city to be twinned with Washington DC. We are in a unique position to market our club as the 'American club' in the Premier League.


Absolutely. The potential is huge with a bit nous. Even playing to the colours would make sense, but we are always behind the curve.

The Americans are full of enthusiasm, all they need is a reason to buy into a proposal, lets provide one.
 
Loads of people panicking and talking bout ITK’s etc. Can i just remind people of some facts. Nick Barnes who works for the BBC and doesn’t just post shite on football forums and spread rumours said a few weeks ago a takeover looked likely, he sounded confident and hasn’t said anything different since. William storey who whatever you think of him said he was expecting a big development this week and has met our ceo at poetic license. I have no reason to doubt nick barnes. Something is happening, I don’t know what cos i’m not ITK. If it doesn’t happen tomorrow that doesn’t mean it’s off. Stay patient. If I was a betting man I would say the fact Micky Gray is going on a family holiday would suggest he is maybe out of the running.
At last! A bit of common sense. As I said earlier it was beginning to be a feeding frenzy on here for information from possible itk’s. Refreshing to see someone take a step back and view it logically. Well done that man
 
Don't think anywhere wants to be twinned with Washy. Trying to market us as some kind of yank friendly club because of a few names and our colours is clutching like.

If I'm watching a game on NBC gold I have to turn it off during punditry or when they go live in the fan zones and they're chanting, f***ing vomit-inducing stuff. It's like NFL/NBA fans over here wearing jerseys and pretending to love the sport, when in reality they're just trying too hard to be different.

That he might, I don't want our club heavily influenced by Americans. If they want to support us as their "English team" then fair enough but don't pander to the fat fucks.
Who cares who we are influenced by? in this day and age its about maximising your profits to make you sustainable or would you rather we muddled along as we are?
 
The concern with all of this - Fox leaving, no chairman, no academy director, slow recruitment of free transfers - is that these actions are exactly what you would do if you were absolutely potless over the next few years too.
or a takeover was on the cards... If it were me , i'd want all of the deadwood moving out before signing the docs. Less hassle afterwards.
 
Worry about that when we're back in the big boys club. No fucker over there gives a fuck about sides outside the PL and even then it's mainly the top 6.
Its a really short term and narrow minded view you have there. Your right in that the majority only watch the premier league but we already have an identity in the US from STID. Surely the time to capitalise on that is now so when we do get back to the big time we have a base to grow from
