What agenda?

Something is clearly happening, all Sunderland fans naturally want it to happen as it could herald an exciting new era.

I personally have reservations regarding your apparent info. Now I get there’s plenty who really want to believe you as what you’re saying sounds like what we all hope for.

Should people only be allowed to post on here who lap up all your stories?

I don't think the thread should be just for people who believe him, but equally I wish those who don't believe it would just post one simple thing saying "I don't believe he's got inside information", rather than continually posting saying the same thing. If you don't believe him fine but what should be a positive thread looking forward to the future is being constantly dragged down by the same few posters. Not sure whether it's the posters fault, or the fault of people who keep replying to them as Steve 30000 is suggesting, but if people stop replying to Steve I hope he in particular lets it go. Sick of seeing loads of extra pages, hoping there's some material development in what is possibly the biggest story ever to happen to our club, just to find its the same gas bags whinging on and having daft debates that no one gives a fuck about

You can't be breaking board rules by saying you don't believe someone.

If someone gets banned because of it, then this board has turned into North Korea.

I haven't bullied or abused anyone.. But.. You're obviously not allowed to have an opinion

I’ve given at least one example of why I doubt him.
It’s an easy game really.
We all know we have interest in the club, there’s a chance it will come off so just claim it’s as good as done, papers with EFL etc.

If it comes off bask in glory of being ITK.

If it doesn’t then it hit an 11th hour hitch but wasn’t it great the excitement it created. Just hoping for best for my club what bastard etc etc.

Nothing has been said that isn’t in public domain or that we couldn’t work out ourselves.

Well leave it at that then you've made your feelings clear there's no point arguing the toss over it
 
This is how I see it..

These guys are not here to stay in L1. Why buy a man city for £2billion when you can buy a sleeping giant for £40mil..then spend £100 mill to be back in the prem...and maybe another £300mil to compete with the top 5 and break into the champions league. Afterall we have similar infrastructure and history as Chelsea and man city...a few million will increase the ground to 70k..success over 5 years and a few relative galaticos will fill it.
As well as enjoying the ride and the benefits of owning a big club.

But the main reason I think is Netflix.. our exposure..our heartbreak have touched hundreds of millions worldwide.. now in Season 3 it's going to be Dell computers getting massive publicity....maybe him or his(or partners) became MLFs watching Netflix and now they get the same buzz as when i started playing football manger games in the 90s?.

Look at the Red Bull franchises...its all about the marketing angle..

I guarantee you this if this sale goes through it will make Dell lightful television.(not for the Mags)

@Reiver how involved directly is Michael Dell himself? How much are the people actually worth who are buying us? Are they buying us as a company or as individuals? Thanks in advance

I tend not to respond to you as I don’t think you’re a full shilling but just to clear it up I’ve been a member about 5 year. Jan Koller had retired by that point I’d imagine.

That clear enough for you?

Absolutely everyone knows who you are Jarvis. Creep.

I've no contact with any of them mate. I could give you answers but I'd only be repeating what's already been mentioned in the media, Love Supreme, etc.

Even the people like Forbes and the Sunday Times Rich List are speculating about people's personal wealth so that's unclear.

The info I've posted has come from a very wealthy ex-employer, someone who knows one of our current owners and a friend one of the new owners, Fuhrman.

You'll appreciate I can't be pumping them to ask the Dell boys how much they're worth ;)

Did you get any snippets of what their intentions are? The longer it drags on the more I’m concerned something’s gone wrong :oops:
