People going mental about this but I’m canny cautious.

Everyone sees dells billions and starts celebrating as if it’s ours but it’s his private investment firm not him directly. He’s looking to make a profitable business but I can’t see him whacking a bunch of money in like mansour did with his plaything. It’s an investment firm looking to protect and grow his money.

This sounds like I’m complaining but I’m not. Just trying (probably badly) to make the point that all these people jumping about posting Breaking bad and Shane McMahon gifs might want to reign it in.

Biggest issue for me is it’s another bunch of owners who have no footballing experience and most likely don’t understand football. Even if I’m wrong with the above paragraph and dell threw a billion at it, if they make the same mistakes as short we’ll go nowhere.

The thing that made the Campbell takeover attractive on paper was the inclusion of John park. The people coming in absolutely must make the right footballing appointments.

God supporting this club has made me a pessimist :lol:

Like I said much earlier in this thread it still needs to be ran well and investment in the scouting and academy are the obvious way forward, foundations that will serve us well for years to come and this wealth should give us that, I would hate to think of all the agents pricking up their ears at this news as a way to line their pockets!

Well it's all down to Charlie this one apparently so yes we should, the current owners (if this comes off!) Have done everything they said they would bar get us promoted and that isn't something they have direct control of, I know the moaners are now desperate for something negative but I really think credit should be given when due.

There will still be some, in my opinion, this is a non starter if we weren’t on a much more financial even keel. SD said they wouldn’t sell to just anyone, not sure anyone can argue that these are just anyone

Looked Michael Dell up and he looks a canny lad, hard worker, built his business from scratch and worth a mint now. Lots of philanthropy too. If, and let's emphasise the if, this goes through it will be a dream come true financially ... with the hope that turns into a dream come true performance wise ... hawwaayyy

I listen to a podcast How I Built This which is an excellent listen for anyone reading this. There's a great episode with Dell on there

This is exactly right.

They have done a good job and the vast majority of us can see it. Sadly, a few (mostly the clowns who live locally, yet can’t be arsed to go the match), have let themselves down with all the negative social media shite.

I respect your caution but but these guys are on a different scale.
Campbell turned and bought Falkirk who I honestly still don't see winning the SPL in my lifetime, with or without Park.
This is marvelous news.
