Jerry Jones Says He'll Be Invested In The Cowboys Until He "Drops"

Jerry Jones, the billionaire Texan who owns the Dallas Cowboys, and who has invested 1.2 Billion U.S. dollars in the club's new stadium, insisted to The Daily Telegraph that British soccer fans in clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool should show patience towards American owners and shareholders. However, Jones said he had never contemplated buying an English Premiership club as his friends have done. "No [never intended to buy an English football club]. Not that I want to sound like it is not interesting and good, but I have only one interest, and I wanted it to be the perception of everyone, that all that interests me is the Cowboys," Jones said. "I am very hands on here, I'm even accused of coaching the team at times, but what has happened is that I have invested myself fully in this and I will be in it until I drop. The stadium is a tool, and yes we want world class soccer to come here, the World Cup, the best teams in South America, and the best teams in Europe. But I'm not comfortable being involved, unless I'm there and involved with the grass roots. This is a serious business in terms of all the people that are depending on you, especially the fans. And let me say this, I don't feel like I own the Cowboys. You can own a piece of land, a house or a business. You can't own the Dallas Cowboys. The fans own Dallas Cowboys. But what you can do, with ownership, is that you can run beyond where you would have gone otherwise. That's what has transferred itself here."

Good thing is is that Stephan's role with the team is expanding, so you wont see the Cowboys run by "Al Davis"

The Cowboys are Jerruh's life. He lives and dies for the team. And I love that. I think he knows as he gets older his role on everyday decisions will be reduced but he'll always be up in the box cheering us on.
