The dance has begun, Our American Director has completed the steps required to formalise a toe hold in the club.
Although this investment, initially at least is very modest, it may prove to be significant.
He's OUR American investor now, he's taken the bait and the hook's in his jaw.
So 10 million is still not real money in terms of football clubs, why significant?
During the recent weeks, two American owners have put their clubs up for sale, clubs which actually win things and make money. Who knows how attractive NCFC would have been to our chappie if he had LFC and MUFC to choose from earlier in the year?
There's no doubt that he would have been able to finance moves for those bigger clubs, and they would bring lot's of media spotlights too.
Obviously we don't know what the future holds and I'm not about to suggest we'll be European Champions in 3 years, but we may well have struck lucky with the timing of OUR American.
