still in shock, kind of surprise I taught they would invest on V Setubal the home town of Mourinho http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=ver¬icia=84887&tema=6
This can only mean bad news for Braga. With the Abromovich machine behind BFC it looks like they will take command of the #4 position and maybe make alot of serious runs for the title.
I love it! when I ask a question and the next poster who knows it disregards it. I now know it's a drink I'm guessing beer or some type of Vodka, I'm I getting warm?
more news on the take over http://www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=678399&idCanal=12 PARCEIRO ESTRATÉGICO PODE VIR DE LESTE Capital russo na SAD O tão desejado parceiro estratégico que a SAD axadrezada procura para consolidar o projecto do futebol profissional pode ser russo. O "Expresso" noticiou ontem que o MSI (fundo de investimento controlado pelo magnata Roman Abramovich, presidente do Chelsea) entrará no aumento de capital da SAD previsto para este ano, de 11 para 20 milhões de euros. O semanário avança os contornos do negócio: o clube perderia o controlo da SAD mas encaixaria 2,5 milhões de euros por 20 por cento do capital. Ao que tudo indica, os principais accionistas – Sportinveste, Joaquim Oliveira e a família Loureiro – aceitaram reduzir a sua participação. Em breve haverá uma informação oficial sobre um processo que poderá ser concluído até ao final do ano, mas uma fonte do clube já avançou com uma certeza: "O clube nunca irá perder a posição maioritária na SAD." Em Fevereiro, recorde-se, João Loureiro afirmou em entrevista a Record que andava em viagens, entre Paris e Londres, para diversas reuniões.

Oops, missed your post - eyes glazed from too much drinking in the sun....Stoli is vodka, an affordable brand that is an easy drink. I recall reading something in Maxim (...is there a better source for information?) that Stoli ranked about 5/6th out of about 100 brands of vodka. Given that it costs about 20ish for a two-six, not a bad price. In case you are all wondering, Maxim rated Grey Goose the best vodka but a bottle of that stuff is in the high 40s...I'll stick to Stoli.
Thanks you got a rep comming tommorrow. I know that Grey Goose is ranked the best Vodka in virtually every list I've see, even on Toronto1 they had a list. Even the rapper Nas rates it highly he had it on one of his lyrics.
FC Porto should be worried, as should Benfica, Sporting, and the rest of the teams in the Superliga. If Abramovich wanted to he could make Boavista the strongest club in Portugal in two or three years. With Benfica, Sporting, and FC Porto ongoing political and financial support, and now with Abramovich's 20% stake in Boavista, the league could now have 4 quality teams. All we need now is for Mourinho to use his millions to buy Vitoria Setubal, Figo to invest money into a team in the Algarve, Rui Costa to invest in Vitoria Guimaraes, Cristiano Ronaldo to invest in Maritimo, Pauleta to invest in Santa Clara, Ricardo Carvalho to invest in Braga, Deco to invest in Uniao Leiria or Academica Coimbra, and the league would be even more amazing
Not going to happen (although him playing there would probably be even better) but the idea is funny.
The man likes to vacation on his yacht in Portugal so i'm not surprised that he has taken an interest in the superliga. Outside of the big 3, Boavista has the most potential for growth IMO..
