Dont like how Dell keeps being distanced from the whole thing from various media outlets.

Let's hope the other 3 are serious players and dell isnt just helping them scrape the funds together :lol: yes I'm pessimistix every day...

The other three are all billionaires in their own right, and multi-billionaires at that. Dell certainly isn't there to prop anyone up within that group.

Certain parts of the media are playing it down for reasons we already know but they think we don’t.
It is Dells foundation they run it for him. however much they would like to minimise his involvement. The other three lads are incredibly wealthy in their own right. Google them. You may be pleasantly surprised

There is a sense that this money will buy our way to Europe.

If we do throw money at it, does this mean we will go back to paying big money to players who don’t give a shit for the club.
We need to get out of this league first within the Financial Fair Play.

I’m glad of the investment but keep to the plan that SD and CM have devised and not get carried away as being big time Charlie’s.

Looking at the lads coming on board and what they’ve done in the past, and reading the foundations mission statement I don’t think that’s likely mate.

He was sat near us on a train back from Arsenal once and came across quite well. He saw we were Sunderland fans and came over to chat, he was actually quite forthcoming and realistic about the club and was happy to discuss things, saw him chatting with a few other groups of fans too.

He isn’t a MLF but does seem to care about the club. The only thing is his job seems entirely dependent on the goodwill of the club so publicly he is always going back them and say what he thinks the club wants him to say, which inevitably is going to grate on the fans.

He’s probably a nice fella but when it comes to talking about the demands of playing for SAFC I always think he exaggerates the negative aspects of our support.
