Big financial news in the UK where Richard Branson and a bunch of friends have decided to have a go at taking over Northern Rock. A consortium led by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group has put forward plans to take control of Northern Rock. Under the plans, Northern Rock would keep its stock market listing but would be rebranded as Virgin Money.
This is all very well but surely it can only be seen as bad news for us Newcastle United supporters. If our club's sponsor is taken over by Richard Branson does that mean we'd have to go to the matches in shirts with Virgin written across the chest? Like we don't get made fun of enough already?
