    Former Gold Coast owner Clive Palmer has launched an audacious bid to invest in the Western Sydney Wanderers for next season.

     

    Palmer, who was cited to be behind the Gold Coast's spectacular fall from grace which led to the A-League Premiers' entry into the competition, is said to be keen to return to football.

     

    "After a leave of absence Clive has re-evaluated his options, and believes he has the best interests for the Western Sydney franchise," Palmer's spokesperson told the Herald.

     

    The outspoken entrepreneur has recently launched a Titanic II program, as well as bought up 119 dinosaurs, and would be keen to add the Wanderers to his growing portfolio.

     

    Recent reports have suggested the Western Sydney Wanderers are valued at over $20 million, and that Palmer is one of the few single investors in Australia that could afford the full cost.

     

    Mineralogy Director Clive Mensink believes that Clive’s acquisition of the Western Sydney Wanderers could spark a revival of the Mineralogy Cup, in which they would play the Northern Fury.

     

    “It’s all in speculation at this time, we’d be delighted to once again have our name on this prestigious event,†Mensink said, “I believe Professor Palmer’s beliefs and values will resonate well with the Western Sydney community and that he will be the most appropriate owner to represent the area.â€

     

    Palmer is expected to be in Sydney next week to hold talks with current Chief Executive Lyall Gorman.

     

    The Wanderers have a week off before they play in the sudden death semi-finals on April 12th, at Parramatta Stadium.

    I believe Professor Palmer’s beliefs and values will resonate well with the Western Sydney community and that he will be the most appropriate owner to represent the area.

    Turner got a bit eager (ah, youth!!!) with the dinosaur bit, which makes it a clear April fools. *Everyone* knows that Palmer only has 14 dinos, not 119.  :rofl:
