Just had a squiz at their other ventures:
1. Corinthians FC, Brazil - Bought the club, had success the first year then sold up after promising to build a stadium and then getting into financial difficulty. The club got in big trouble within a couple of years of ownership.
2. Texas Rangers - Did fantastic the first year. Rangers won the AL division, money troubles hit over the next few years. Promises to rebuild the club. Sells Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees and finishes last a season later.
3. Dallas Stars - Seems to be a club that has done pretty well under Hicks. He has sold his majority share of ownership recently.
4. Montreal Canadiens - Appears to have done fairly well but Gillet has had to sell up to cover his failings.
5. Richard Petty Motorsports (NASCAR) - Currently in the crapper. Defaulting on US90m dollar loans.
6. LFC - Currently being run into the ground.
