Even if the deal with the Dell boys doesn’t happen; I have every confidence in SD finding the investors we need to take us forward.
There will be plenty of suitors who have identified us as a club worth investing in.
The bit reported about SD saying he “doesn’t know if they want us” suggests that the fundamentals of the deal haven’t been agreed yet - if he wants to stay in some capacity and they want him out then obviously a deal might not be happening. It’s his club and he will find other rich investors such as the O’Briens who will allow him to continue his involvement with the club if need be.
I’m sure that SD sees this deal as the opportunity to set himself up for life financially - and you can’t blame him for that even if it threatens the deal with Dell.

I would imagine that the fanbase wouldn’t be pleased if Donald’s insistence on remaining involved scuppered a deal of that magnitude.

but people clearly do know stuff, maybe not entirely accurate but still hear stuff that has some truth in it. The takeover rumour thread started with a tweet that said they’d heard there were investors from a tech firm with someone worth 37b involved. That turned out to be correct. They weren’t lying, they didn’t know fuck all.

some of the stuff about completion dates and announcements has seemingly been pie in the sky but that’s not to say that everything has been false or made up; it clearly hasnt

That person wasn't posting on here though.

Let's break it down

Text that said Fuhrman was owner = lies

Multiple the deal is done and date prediction attempts = incorrect

Declaration it would be done yesterday or this morning = lies

Ben Smith was named as the link but one of the owners Instagram was being followed by a Ben Smith he wasn't being followed by the owner back.

I questioned only a sad individual would do this to make a rumour seem believable. It seems they really were that sad and probably followed them to make it believable or they already knew a Ben Smith was following them and chose that name at Random.

This isn't a witch hunt against someone trying to help the board. It was a known bullshitter who mocked those who questioned his source. He deserves all the critcism in the world for me

This thread, the original takeover thread and things like the "SunDELLand" tshirts make us look more delusional than the mags

I have a feeling a lot of it is correct and it’s just playing the cat and mouse game from Donald.

If that's your opinion fair play mate

But id be amazed if we hear a quick development over the next 10 days. SD has tweeted that for a reason. If it was near done he'd have probably gave a professional answer then maybe winked at the end

SD is helping the fans who thought it was done because it still has a lot of work to go through

it would take an imagination of endless bounds to concoct a story like that and then put your balls on the table posting it on here. It would be at least the behaviour of a fantasist and at worse borderline psychopathic :lol:

I’ve little doubt that the poster was being told something. I think some of what he has been told may be far fetched and some of it completely inaccurate. But the only damage that is done for people over this is if they decided to take it at its absolute face value. Thats their own daft fault.
