You seem determined to throw negativity at possibly the biggest breakthrough in the club's history.

To be fair, he’s not the only one. Knew we had some miserable buggers on here, but it’s frightening just how many are finding the negative in all this. Probably a few mags outed themselves these last few days.

I like Phelan's CV:
"Prior to becoming involved with Dell and MSD, Phelan was a principal at ESL Partners for seven years where he is credited with helping to grow the firm from $50 million to over $2 billion in assetsunder management."

Can he do it again with Sunderland? ;)

We are aware it could collapse.

But would you win the lottery and be I might lose the ticket before they pay out or Camelot might go bust 😂

I really pity people who'd rather be I told you so if this collapse than dream of what could be
 
might not be the popular opinion on here but i'm not sure i'd like my club to be some rich man's plaything. i'd hate us to become the likes of man city or chelsea who sold their soul.
i'd sooner see the likes of maguire, o nien and wyke busting a gut for us than any millionaire footballer that can't be arsed.
just my thoughts, i'm not into wind ups or owt like that.

Also just noticed the net worth of Fuhrman was from 2014 so could well be much more now.

The article said.....
According to Forbes, he is worth $9.3 billion (his Impressionist and contemporary art collection alone is worth an estimated $1 billion). In 2006 he paid $137.5 million for Willem de Kooning's Woman III (1952), and in 2013 he bought Picasso's Le Rêve for $155 million.

Edit: so if he’s prepared to pay that much for a picture, let’s hope he will stick his hand in his pocket for a footballer or two.

Man City's players didn't win all of those trophies by taking it easy mate. Leicester put a little bit of graft into winning the league too.

You’d hate to be challenging for Premier League, FA and League Cup and Champions League trophies so you can watch Charlie Wyke?

How hard was that knock to your head?

agree with this, i don't mind money being put into the club as long as it's done in the right way, i'd rather they funded a expanded scouting network, picked up players for next to nothing on a global scale and turned for a profit than just throw money at things and hope it sticks, basically like what Eisner has done at Portsmouth.
