Someone should advise David Einhorn of the value of portuguese football and players. I am sure that if he had someone who keeps an eye on this game in Europe could give him a way to start generating more income.

I actually remember him playing at the wsop when he won those 650.000 dollars, i know that he donated the money back then but i never knew he was so rich and has so many investments on so many markets although it was clear that he was not a professional poker player considering he was not living out of poker. As for his latest aquisition i don't really having nothing to say considering i don't know the team but i know that 200.000.000 million dollars are a lot, and i'm sure he sees that as a buisness not as a hobby, so we should expect him to make profit. I also agree with was was posted above , an european football team would be a lot more profitable since there is a lot more money in the buisness. Lets hope he will have succes with his new purchase, ans yes he needs a new look for sure...
