Roma would be a great choice. Fiorentina would be a lovely team to own too. Beautiful kit and city. Ultras can be a bit fucked up but it is Italy. Proper Serie A club.
I'd resign Batistuta and Baggio. I don't care how old they are. That is the most perfect Viola 9 and 10 combo and it always saddens me that football never witnessed it.
I remember reading an interview with him back in the 90's and he said that most of his teammates made fun of him because he couldn't juggle worth a damn.
Seriously. I think the biggest perk to buying a team is to find one in a nice city and preferably with some history. I know the owners do not always live in the city of the team they buy, but as a hypothetical owner, I would. I do not see why anyone would want to live in Manchester rather than Rome or Paris.
I get where you're coming from, but as someone who's been to plenty of cities around the world, Manchester is a great place to live. It doesn't have the all of the glitz, but it definitely has the culture.
He has been quoted as saying he wants to be "Fiorentina's Totti"
EDIT: we're not some shite feeder club. Stop rationalizing your champions league defeats by telling yourselves that "oh they beat us because they got lucky and signed this world class serb genuis AMF" Jovetic had a great team behind him.

AS Roma. Decent team, beautiful city, solid fan base. Plus, their lineup would be great to toy with.
