SAFC Takeover Latest

Not open for further replies.

There’s only one interested party involved , I’ll politely suggest that they have the upper hand in the negotiations.

These boys didn’t get as rich as they apparently are by being mugs , let’s hope they buy at a price which suits them , whilst at the same time let’s both of them walk away with a few bob profit.

The worst they could do is sell at cost.

Canny game of poker being played here.
 
“Beginning of the end for the current owners if the takeover fails” you say?
Are you going to buy them out at that point?
Are you saying that a debt free Club like Sunderland with crowds of 20,000+ wouldn’t have the resources to gain promotion at some point from League 1?
Yes once we dispose of the services of Jack Ross, we should be able to piss this pub league, but under our current ownership, the funds to establish ourselves in the Championship never mind push for promotion simply don't exist.
 
I don’t believe that there is anything to worry about - these things take time. I’ve been involved in a lot of M&A activity over the years, some deals at much greater value than this deal and there is a huge amount of work to do in the background.
Chill people

It’ll be a struggle with these blokes in charge

Even if we scrape promotion there’s no plan
