If I were a billionaire, I'd prefer the challenge of buying a club low down in the pyramid and then trying to get them up the leagues. The club would have to have a long history (i.e. not a Rushden and Diamonds type thing), and I'd make sure there were fans on the board.
Imagine taking a club like Torquay United, Barrow or Kidderminster and getting them to the PL. I'd imagine that would be much more fun than yet another title for Man City.
