this shit funny...& true...you might need to be in the biz to fully understand though.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10279085-16.htmlMicrosoft would be Chelsea All the money in the world but it's all come recently. They play to a precise, predictable formula and the only *loyal* fans work in City finance operations.
Google would be Arsenal Fancy footwork, nice location in central London, clever ideas and easy on the eye. The players are all young but a lot of the time all the good work goes nowhere. Best players have recently ended up demanding transfers.
IBM would be Manchester United Old money and great tradition. Everybody ends up going there in the end, even if they don't like them.
Xerox would be Newcastle United Wonderful people, loads of money for researching ways to win top prizes but they end up with nothing apart from a famous home and lots of old people saying how great bthey were once.
Oracle would be Real Madrid Forceful leader reeking of money, fine wine and cigars. The strategy is to buy anything that moves. It usually works in the end.
Red Hat would be Manchester City Started out with odds and ends donated by local community but somehow ended up with loads of money flooding in.
SAP would be Bayern Munich German, solid, hard-working and going their own way but nobody in the US cares about them apart from some people in California.
Yahoo would be Barcelona Would turn down fortunes rather than trade their precious independence. Usually regarded as a mad world of their own by outsiders but capable of brilliance on the day.
Salesforce.com would be Inter Milan Led by a power-loving maverick and brilliant tactician, they are quite possibly the next best team in the world.
Symantec would be Tottenham Hotspur Invented the idea of pouring money into acquisitions to bolster the squad and still doing it to this day.
Sun would be MK Dons Sold their soul for filthy lucre and may lose the guts of the old club and community spirit. Business plan might be sound but will fans stay loyal?
Apple would be Liverpool Icons of the modern era and since the 1970s treated as a cult by devoted followers the world over. Finances might appear odd at times though and god only knows where would they be without Stevie.
Adobe would be Everton Dogged and outperforming but they only have one plan and they live in the shadow of a bigger and better bunch just down the road.
Satyam would be Juventus Overshadowed by events off the pitch recently but write them off at your peril.
Mahalo would be Hull City Run on the basis of every man doing his damnedest and working together to compete with big boys. Managed by an odd little chap who can't stop talking.
Wolfram Research would be Queens Park Rangers You'd forgotten they existed but they reckon they're going to be massive.
CA would be AC Milan Huge, historic outfit that will never go away or stop buying.
Bull would be Paris St Germain Big in France but nobody else cares.
Novell would be Leeds United They used to be huge when I were a lad.
