Controversial British Journalist Piers Morgan to Enter Team Into, Newly Formed Bud Light Championship.
Piers Morgan has today announced that he has successfully completed the paperwork to enter a team into the newly formed American football league system. Morgan has suggested that the team will be based in New Jersey being called the 'New Jersey Jaguars'. In an interview with Sky earlier today Morgan answered a few questions on the future that lays ahead for the franchise.
SKY REPORTER: Hello Piers! The shoe seems to be on the other food today eh?
MORGAN: Haha, yes. It does seem weird to be on the receiving end of some tough questions, I just hope you aren't too harsh on me.
SKY REPORTER: Of course not! Anyway, down to business. Where did this whole idea come from? You've never been involved in football before, apart from in the twitter sphere. Aren't you a little worried about your lack of real experience?
MORGAN: Well, as everyone will know I'm a die hard Arsenal fan however since moving to the US I've not been able to see as many games as I would have liked. This gives me the opportunity to immerse myself in football again - they may not be up to the standard of my beloved Arsenal from the get-go, but that surely is the goal! In regards to my experience, I know I haven't been involved in the game before other than being a supporter, so I'll be handing over a lot of the responsibility to the manager that I'll be putting in place. I won't be too controlling when it comes to which players come in/out or who the staff are.
SKY REPORTER: It sounds like you have somebody in mind for the job?
MORGAN: We've lined somebody and are hoping to have a deal done as soon as possible. Obviously with the deal not being completely over the line yet I can't say too much, but the candidate has experience at the highest level and has been in the game for a long time!
SKY REPORTER: New Jersey have been entered into the 2nd division of the league and not the 1st is this something you see as a hinderance?
MORGAN: Definitely not! This is a completely new experience to me and nobody really knows what to expect from the league as it is new also. Being in the 2nd division puts a less pressure on the franchise and means we should be able to find our feet without too much trouble.
SKY REPORTER: Some clubs in the league have suggested that they will be spending big in a search for immediate glory. What is you stance on this?
MORGAN: We won't be looking to overstretch the finances and from the squad I have assembled at the moment the we will will not have to spend too much more in order to strengthen the team much further. I think some of the other teams may risk financial trouble by overspending.. Right, I have got to catch a plane back to London so I must be off. I've scheduled
