Offer come in for the club (rumours thread)

[Sea to Shining Sea]

He’s mid-60s. But yes, mega-wealthy about twenty years ago.

It’s weird that Sunderland is an absolutely football mad city yet two of the most prominent and wealthy people to have emerged from the city, Peter Vardy (often seen as a potential saviour in the 90s and then early 00s) and John Reece, have basically no interest in football.

World, 5th richest isn't it?

He's "only" worth about £7B

 

[The Rat]

Talk that it is done on 606

That was all but done. The club were adamant he was the guy. He pulled the plug at the 11th hour. Nothing is done until it is done.

It wasn’t done like.

Ever

Nobody can dispute that fact

I didn't say it was.

So where did the INEOS rumour start. It would obviously be canny of it was them, or one of them?

 

[ReaL Madras]

What will be, will be…… too many false dawns (yes, the mag *!?£&) and attention seeking over the years.

What does surprise me is that in terms of pound for pound investment, we must look attractive compared to many clubs based on asset value and potential for exploitation.

Netflix and multiple Wembley appearances will of helped in this regard, however, the following is a major issue….

We don’t have an international football success based profile that is recognised globally or across Europe. We are perceived as a parochial club, albeit a very well supported one.

I wrote the word “exploitation” because that is the sort of investors that we will attract, sadly. They are people looking to exploit the Premier League and TV cash, particularly the cash flow and accessing tax breaks under the cover of football.

I hope that I am wrong, but that is how I see football “investment” from international business men. They don’t really throw cash at it, they guarantee debts and loans whilst they access free flowing cash at the top level. That is why they bail when clubs get relegated…..

 

[The Rat]

Not really. Excitement = more season ticket sales which means less money needed to be put into the club by shareholders.

I can’t tell you how few people this story is reaching like, majority of Sunderland fans will have no idea this is even a thing

John Reece was apparently at Wembley for the play off final

Maybe it aids clear thinking

To be fair, it’s a poster from here that says on 606 it’s done. I don’t say “goodnight John Boy, good night Hairy Melon“, when I’m on there and I haven’t left here. Am I excused or am I tarred?

 

[ISOE II]

That was from Smug In Boots who is clearly a bullshitting fantasist

No he’s not. I heard it from work colleagues one of whom was in the photo people were laughing at earlier when the Dell lot said the deal for the takeover was done. Shit and shite changed their demands and we ended up with the loan.

The only things SPV is evangelical about is Christianity and making money.

Madbob and Bod Edwards are the same or haven’t denied they’re not.

what tax breaks? most of the people wealthy enough to buy a club are tax exiles..quinnys guys did it via the dtumaville company based in a tax haven..short continued that..and now kld is continuing that..

all football club owners buy clubs for self interested reasons..none are philantrophists...

First time I’ve ever been on that 606 site…a f***ing weird lot mind

The main protagonists seem to be ex-posters from here that claim not to post on here anymore. However, I'd be very surprised if they haven't signed up under a new user. Infact I have my suspicions there's a former infamous poster very active in this very thread.

Maybe there would be other mega rich Sunderland born people if they focused on their work and not football!

Is it ? Well why has t he announced it on here ? With something to back it up.
