New St Johnstone owner Adam Webb says American investment in Scottish clubs is 'likely to continue' because of a 'groundswell of interest' in UK leagues.
New St Johnstone owner Adam Webb says American investment in Scottish clubs is "likely to continue" because of a "groundswell of interest" in UK leagues.
Webb referred to St Johnstone as "a phenomenon" and said the decision to purchase the club "makes good sense to me". "What does that mean for the Scottish league? I think it is all positive, I think you want resources in the league because the league has to compete worldwide more than ever. That is going to be boosted and improved by having more resources."Hibernian, Dundee and Dundee United are the three other Scottish top-flight clubs under US ownership, while a vote is currently under way on whether Motherwell want to accept or reject American investment.
Webb says he is at St Johnstone for the long haul and wants the team "to be consistently competitive" by getting into Europe "every few years" having "great cup runs".
