Newcastle are sustainable, we want to be ambitious. At the same time, we don’t want to be chucking money around - because well, we can’t because of the inevitable FFP regulations.

Basically, let’s hope the new owners aren’t complete tight arses whilst also not being gung ho

I agree. But I think we need to understand the difference between a large long-term cash-rich injection of funds over a period of time in a large city ie. Manchester or London and doing the exact same with a city the size of Sunderland. Demographically, we are similar to Reading, Preston, Newport and Swansea. Growth, sustainability and long-term investment tend to come with a reduced level of risk. The new owners are specialists in this area of financial investment.
 

We will quickly move past needing to get one over on the Mags, our focus will evolve from simply wanting to be the biggest in the North East. When this goes through we will aim higher. BUT, if this is true, it will always add a little something to have them know that they were passed over and forced to 'step aside' . Whatever we achieve, from inside the shadow we cast- they will know what might have been.

Who gives a f*** really after 40 years of being a football fanatic the game is f***ing dead to me now. Every year im losing more interest in it, every year i watch less live games and Match of the day less.
Being here in the US and having wall to wall US sports at this time of the year NCAA,NFL,NHL,MLB,NBA,MLS its making me lean a lot more to them

i am not usually one to 'kick' the inflicted when they are down but i must admit i allowed myself a wee bit of a chuckle when i read that, strange they do not seem to think we should be lapping it up and taking the piss 'when they are not doing so well' yet felt it was fine to keep digging at us at every single chance they got while we went through possibly the worst 5 or 6 seasons the club has ever seen.

Kick in the teeth ....

If I spelled things out, and named names, this post/thread would be deleted. Hopefully I've written it in a way that only the 'terminally dim/wilfully argumentative' can misinterpret. There won't be any follow up posts and you'll either get/believe it or not.
I was going to leave this until the right man, at the club, leaked it as he's promised to do when the time is right. However, if I do that, people will claim my previous vague posts were wild guesses. If I'm guessing I say so, if I'm passing on gossip/rumour I say so, if I post as fact I say so, like the fact that the takeover deal was definitely done weeks ago but that not even the current/new owners know the date of the announcement ... even now.

Some people mix up opinion, rumour, guesswork and fact .... usually deliberately.

So here it is and I'll bet the story comes out 'officially' after the takeover is announced.
The 'Dell boys' have been looking, for some time, to buy an English club to develop and leave a legacy for years to come. They looked at Newcastle, some time ago as is well known. Apparently that progressed a fair way before the asking price didn't budge due to Ashley's intransigence and belief that the club was worth it. No doubt they cast their eyes over a variety of clubs but were ready to buy Newcastle for a better price if Ashley would compromise. Move on a while and the boys are back in town looking for action. They go back to a club they've previously looked at as it's available and making no progress. Negotiations progress and become serious up to the point whereby a very good offer is put firmly on the table. 'Knowing smiles and nods are exchanged' and it seems a deal can be done. The seller's greed, however, pushes him into a 'clever ruse' and a rival bidder appears from nowhere, reported by some absolute random. Surely those free spending Dell boys will race back to rescue the deal and up their offer!!!

Errr well no actually, they decide to put their billions into a more long term but friendlier, more honest, project and reward those people they saw crying on Netflix. The Red Bull rumours may well have also had an effect and alerted Dell. The other club, who must remain nameless, are left exactly where they were and with no plausible way out. Mysteriously their 'buyer' vanishes and is never seen again, almost as if he was never there. The random reporter slinked away as well and it's not known how much, and by whom, he was paid ... but, of course, this is all fantastical nonsense, this is big business and no one would try to pull a stunt that stupid would they?

Sustainability is exactly you want to here from new owners, that has nothing to do with pushing for promotion

Aren’t these meant to be the best Supporters in the Country that we all aspire and look up to?
I wonder what makes a football fanatic after 40 years. Just curious like.
