    No actual evidence it may be them, but a group of this calibre would be fantastic.

    Had a wee look at the Forbes list myself. I can only find 11 billionaires there myself. 5 of them are Pritzkers !!!!

    Sam Zell, $4.7bn, real estate, private equity
    Oprah Winfrey, $2.7bn, tv
    Jay Robert Pritzker, $2.5bn, hotels, investments
    Ken Griffin, $2.3bn, hedge funds
    Neil Bluhm, $2bn, real estate
    Thomas Pritzker, $1.8bm, hotels, investments
    Penny Pritzker, $1,7bn, hotels, investments
    Joseph Mansueto, $1.6bn, investment research
    James Pritzker, $1.6bn,hotels, investments
    Jean (Gigi) Pritzker, $1.6bn, hotels, investments
    Nicholas Pritzker, $1.2bn, hotels, investments

    My money's on Oprah. Ken's reeled her in with LUTV. She can't resist a project!

    Clearly been changed, it started out "After news broke over the weekend that Scottish soccer club Leeds United was headed toward new ownership, Chicago Fire owner Andrew Hauptman quickly become the leader among media reports in the Scotland to buy the club" when the article initially went up.

    Well Simon, perhaps with all the great players from Scotland who have played for the mighty Leeds United, they were rather confused. They are American's after all, they still think England means the UK!
