Well, well, well...look at D flashing a little insider information.
Good news.
Parmalat is selling FC Parma. I believe they are accepting sealed bids thru Monday. It'll be interesting to see the difference in the valuation of the 2 clubs.
I think the number I heard last night on Telefutura's Contacto Deportivo was in the $30 million range also.
But DC United is not in the relegation zone or being sold by a bankrupt parent company!
