Quakes set to announce partnership with European club

The Quakes have scheduled a press conference for Thursday at 2PM, where they will announce a partnership with a European club.

Who is it? I’m still hunting down leads on this one, but my guess is that it is Tottenham. Billy Beane, who will attend Thursday’s event, has been longtime pals with Spurs’ sporting director Damien Comolli, and the two have been collaborating on a “Moneyball” type system to evaluate players.

Scottish side Celtic is another possibility given that Quakes’ co-owner John Fisher owns a minority stake in the club, but Fisher is not on the list of attendees, leading me to believe that the Scottish champs are not involved.

I’ll dig around some more and let you know what I find out.
