    Articles all over the place about Shahid Khan being in negotiations to buy the club. Here's one:

    Let the Super Mario/Cheech Marin jokes begin.

    The article states he's as ruthless as he is rich... Hopefully he's not another Abramovich (although that might please some on here).

    After watching the interview he gave with bloomberg here: http://www.bloomberg.com/video/billionaire-shahid-khan-on-success-nfl-ownership-5SB6p5pNRoON~HyA33lYuA.html

    He seems like a good fella and not very ruthless, he seems to like to leave the management of his club the Jaguars to the professionals and sit back and provide funding for the whole operation. I was initially scared about the takeover but after watching this interview my nerves have been settled.

    Then he should hire some new professionals, as the Jaguars have been terrible for quite some time!

    Not to worry, we'll send over Steve Sidwell to show those Grid Iron boys how to tackle. ;)

    Whilst it would be nice to dream, somehow, I doubt it. Even if we were bought I really can't see us doing a Man City or a Chelsea. And nor would most of the supporters want us to, to be honest. It's just not Fulhamish.

    But a cup win would be nice, come to think of it.

    I thought Khan was 114th richest man in the world anyway? There are quite a number of football chairmen above him.
