Media Moghul Rupert Murdoch, between hands at the Dow Jones, today made an extraordinary bid for the Swans Blog Site. There was some shock at this news – and a wee bit of awe for the Swans – when the story broke. Mr Murdoch explained that for any new Blog site to reach 1,000 hits in it’s first 5 weeks is “just awesome, mate”.

Questioned further, Mr Murdoch believed that with his extensive media interests, he would be able to give the Vietnam Swans and the Asian Champs the “oxygen of publicity” that they were desperately seeking.

While details of the amount of money offered are sketchy, it is believed to be in the vicinity of squillions. Surprisingly, the Cash Strapped Swans decided to take Mr Murdoch to the Moral High Ground. They are alleged to have told him, “Renounce your American for Australian citizenship and you’re a chance to take a controlling interest in, arguably, the world’s most famous footy club”.

Rupert, who is rumoured to like Disneyland a lot, decided to reject the offer.

For more information on how to get Mr Murdoch to buy out your website or blog, speak to the Swans’ IT architect, Adam Hurley. Adam has been passionately arguing to the Swans for some time that we needed a blog. 1,000 hits later (compared with not many on our website), people are now taking serious notice of Adam.
