When the takeover is completed ...

In terms of the timing of this announcement, we will of course get some notice. Before their last appearance (Wimbledon game) they flew in that morning in a rather impressive 3 engined intercontinental executive jet, registration N999PN (you can see it on Google).
The arrival of this (or similar) again at Usworth North International will be the sign ;)
 
Gonna be difficult in the short term what with FFP, however there are other ways of getting spendable cash into the club. Shirt sponsorship and stadium naming rights, Dell involved of course, is pretty simple and can happen very quickly

We are sounding more like the mags with every thread. Just because we have a potential takeover from rich overlords doesn't mean they're going to throw it all over the place and we're the new PSG. I'd be sitting tight lipped until everything was signed off and transfer evidence of this was evident. We're Sunderland, shit like this doesn't happen to us. We're gonna look like mugs/mags if this doesn't pan out as you're all predicting.

Sounding nothing like the deluded mags.

When their proposed take over was mentioned, they started talking seriously about players like Neymar, Mbappe, etc.. and thought it was perfectly natural that a rich awab man would take them over.

Following news of our proposed takeover, we’re talking about a monorail, zip slides and a theme park, generally having a laugh and just hoping it comes off. The majority are wondering why would a group of billionaires want to buy Sunderland?

A monorail would be amazing.
 
I remember when @Bob Stokoes Hat kept telling us that “something special is happening at our club”, pleased we appear to have finally got round to it.

If you get called a glory hunter it will be by fans of other clubs. Anyone who has followed Sunderland regularly for long enough knows that people come frome all corners of the world to support us already. Although someone might be about to make a fortune selling tat to tourists..

I always remember the centre spread of the match day programme of the last home game in the 2002/03 season where it was a photo of the Sol and the caption ‘darkest part of the day is just before dawn’
Who knew 16 years later it turned out to be true :lol:

... will there be a flood of new members and how many will be Sunderland?

It would be good to see new people joining and decent threads started on various subjects.

I can see Sunderland receiving a real boost from this and not just on the pitch.

Those Trans-Atlantic flights are quite long so we may have a few new lurkers :lol:

It will be time for a pint and the feeling of "Yes you buggers, about bloody time".

If anyone in my family ever has the chance to see us really compete at the top it will be bloody brilliant. Fingers firmly crossed. Glory awaits.

Whats with the Echo boy bollocks ?
Had other info (certainly not from the Sheffield Echo) other than from Reiv, and what it all adds up to is good enough for me. Not counting chickens at all, but very hopeful.
If there's a last minute hitch then I'm sure you'll be happy to say 'I told you so'.
