What a set of bitter and deluded bastards a lot of the mags are mind. Who the fuck do they think they are, absolute football nobodies exactly the same as us. What's this jealous shite some of them are spouting, as a set of fans they are complete fuckwits what on earth is there to be jealous of. As for their city its become an utter f***ing noisy, dirty shit hole.

Ashley has done a great job for them but they are beyond stupid and cant see it. That said I prefer our Dell Boy.

Seeing the bile on here from our Newcastle friends I dont think the news today has gone down to well in Newcastle.

They had better get their MP to raise in Parliament pretty soon on how unfair it is for a billionaire to decide to invest in SAFC and not NUFC. We have Brexit coming up but the mags will want this raised Im sure.

Mag watch.....Thought I'd check on how they are taking the news :lol:

See the little blighters are getting hard ons about rumours of a takeover by the bloke who owns Dell. That would just underline the Summer if it was true mind

Seems to read like it's a bunch of blokes who are going to try and convince Michael Dell to spend his money, rather than Michael Dell owning them outright though

So basically it’s an investment group who are in charge of investing Dells cash, rather than a direct or consortium buyout?
I can’t see this ending as well and they think it will. Still, at least they have some hope.

4 times richer than Abramovic

Twice richer than Mansour also. Would just put a line under the Summer if it is him and he is putting money in. Might put more pressure on Ashley I presume as something like this might wake up the sheep.

That May night where these had lost the play-off final and The S*n break that we're about to be taken over. It felt amazing, like the pain was about to finally end.

And yet here we are. We have Ashley and Bruce, these are about to get Dell billionaires on board.

f***. ING. HELL.

Wouldn't be surprised as I think we're a shoe in to go down and if they are getting major investment (not sure what the actual alleged group is mind but they're wanking themselves silly over it so could be something) then it will happen. It may actually wake the sheep up and put big pressure on Ashley if it is major investment. As I said it would just sum up this Summer if it is true,

so we're believing that those two chancers are getting a bloke this rich to buy sunderland are we? seem to recall similar bed wetting about the uruguayan and that's worked out well for them so far

Can't see it happening. Plus their scruffy, bitter and jealous fans deserve nothing. "Investors" you don't make money in football nowadays. They would have to put in fortunes to get them top 6 in the PL or anything like that for very little return. I don't see what's in it for them at all.

I can't wish relegation on us anymore if it means them scruffy small time c***s will be ahead of us next year. If there's one thing I hate more than Ashley/Bruce/bishop etc it's them. f*** all the bollocks we would have daily if they were above us.

We had a bit of p*ss taking and now there's hardly anything, them c***s would be relentless if they got one place above the mags

I hate the c***s and know how unbearable it would be if they were above us. Remember all that s*** may 2016!? I

There whole aim as a club is to be one place above the mags regardless of what league it is in. f*** giving them what they crave

Shithole of a "city". Bitter jealous fans. And a massive chip on their shoulder of all things Newcastle. That FTM bollocks is cringeworthy too. They rival us in nothing so shows them up to as the bitter c***s they are. It would be like Fulham holding some bitter grudge against Chelsea and claiming they are rivals

Can’t blame them for being excited and for having hope. However I do believe it’s being made out as something more than what they are going to get. They are being told that they are going to be the 2nd richest club in the country and are owned by the guy from Dell. In truth they are being owned by an investment company which has Dell as a client. The individual wealths of the owners won’t matter too much as they are being owned by the investment company which unsurprisingly will be out to take a profit, and if everything goes wrong, the owners will be protected from having to bail them out with their own money. FFP rules will also mean that they can’t just throw loads of money around, even if it was their aim.
These guys may not be investing huge sums or be able too, but at least from their point of view they should be ran the right way.

The most undeserving c***s for this to happen too as well, if it actually happens.

We just have to hope it's another Ellis Short. It says in the Chronicle that it's with MSD Partners, rather than MSD Capital, meaning Michael Dell will be very passive and not really involved.

I love it when they come out with shit like this. They appear to rank themselves alongside Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd in being the top side in the great rivalries in English football.

However, Arsenal are categorically bigger and more successful than Spurs.
Liverpool are categorically bigger and more successful than Everton.
Man Utd are categorically bigger and more successful than Man City (although that one is changing).

Us and them is a bit meh.

This isn't a trick question mate, what is it that makes you think that?

Has it been confirmed and if/when it does people need to be realistic about what may or may not be invested. The two examples I've given were probably met with the same euphoria by their fans.

Yeah we’ve both been shit for a number of years.
Plenty space in both trophy rooms.

Here's two examples for you.

Stan Kronke net worth around $9bn. Money he's put into Arsenal = Nowt

QPR owners Mittal (once Britain's richest man and Ecclestone ($3bn). That worked out well.

It's a very welcome development but I don't think it's going to be of the order that some are suggesting. Personally I'd be happy with two or three years in the Championship while proper recruitment strategies are put in place and ultimately a top half PL position playing nice football in front of sell out crowds.

What you'd be happy with is probably pretty much what they want also. A great academy, a footballing philosophy, a strategic approach and long term plan to identifying talent and player recruitment, not signing players looking for their last pay day, not throwing money at problems, hopefully doing something akin to Southampton maybe.

So it's a bit like a pension pot except they're dealing with stupid amounts of money?

Yeah I know all that and agree, but what makes you believe the investment won't be as good as some people hope ...
... do you know anything about the people involved or anything about their plans?
