I live on the septic tank part of the pond. Not too sure if my compatriots have been tuned into this however Tesco have recently moved into the US grocery market and is looking to make in-roads in a very competative market.
So stay with me on this one:
The way I see it, Tesco offering to build a prem league stadium is a branding strategy with Everton with a view to sell us out to a US high roller.
As you know Top brass here in the US want to buy prem teams because they are relatively cheap and a good investment.
Right now because of Beckham everybody has a hard on for prem football, especially folks with money. The people with money over here see footie as a more sophisticated/culture endeavor in relation to American Football.
Long and short, when the Tesco top brass start hobnobbing at their country clubs with the top brass over here, I?m sure the conversation will be like ?Hello my name is Sir Terry Leahy and I own Tesco!?
Septic tank billionaire, ?who the fuck are Tesco?"
"Well, we ain't Wall-Mart but we do own a Prem League Stadium called Everton, just outside Liverpool!"
"Oh great, can I buy it?"
"Sure. :)"
Bobs your uncle, Tesco, Kenwright and his fat cats have all just made a few million and sold us down the swanney to a bunch of septic tanks who will be soon enough looking for their pound of blue flesh.
Just a thought but its how these people think and work! Leahy maybe a blue nose, but his first love is with those Tesco shareholders who need to make a buck!
