Takeover Rumours

Well, well, well. or should that now be Dell, Dell, Dell.

This could be a seminal moment in our great football clubs history, should this go through.
We're on the verge of going from being a coin toss away from administration, to being owned by one of the richest men on the planet.

We shouldn't be underestimating what the collaborative of Short, Donald, Methven and Sartori have seemingly delivered for our club, albeit in a very roundabout way.

The couple of mags at work here, are walking round with faces like a slapped arse, I started smiling as I walked up to one, who said to me "don't talk about it!", I simply replied "enjoy Steve Bruce".

In my opinion Donald was only ever looking to make a quick buck. He's wealthy, but not football club wealthy, and didn't have the ability to put in a huge amount of his own money. If this deal goes through, it's a win-win for him and the club.

Dammit!

Aye, and whatever he makes he deserves every single f***ing penny for having the balls to take it on and end up getting this deal.

I work with a Mag who a couple of years ago was walking round the place singing ‘oh Mandy’. Then a few months ago he was getting all excited about the sheikh. He was writing down lists of players to sign and all sorts. He’s off today :mad:

He's staying on so he clearly has an interest in the club too.

The only one out of the four that's not an actual billionaire is John Phelan (the one on the far left) however he runs MSD's investment vehicle and again is one of the top 200 art collectors in the world so that suggests he still has serious financial clout.

what I read is that is wealth is unknown so maybe he is a billionaire?
