is an expression of who we are. It is Saturday night after St James’ Park. It is being lost in drink, a soft hiss of depressurisation. It is relief & jubilation. It is toasting our friends, family, heroes, club. It is the end of something - a party 13 years in the making.

I used to follow him on Twitter and also quite liked him as a writer. Even got the thing he wrote about us getting to Wembley on my wall as it was a present, we all know that was really written for the mags though. His sickly way of going on about the takeover was too much. Bit of a whopper all things considered.

I have seen £16billion reported in some places. His art collection alone is worth billions

The 16 billion is Dells that MSD holding manage.

Yes he has a huge art collection and private gallery, there is nothing online stating his exact wealth, there is one google headline saying 5 billion, but when you open the article it talks about 5 billion wealth of another art collector.

He has been managing hedge funds for years so I'm sure he is considerably more well off than SD and WS put together and is most likely a billionaire.

but this 16 billion malarkey is people asking google and not reading properly.

Wishful thinking that this is a professionally run process but you wouldn’t expect any normal timetable to have a deal signing on the Friday before a bank holiday in August. Too difficult to herd cats.
I am NITK but if there is a bank holiday to keep working I’d presume the timetable would use it.

Nick Barnes said the end of August.

But he didn't say which August.

We have a poundland Mike Ashley at the minute so any billions he has is fine by me
 
I can sense the excitement levels have risen today, it’s been a bit doom and gloom for most of the week in this thread.

That was MSD Partners, the other MSD company that invests for a wide range of investors (MSD Capital is the one that manages only Dell's money). They put cash into the Florida Marlins in the form of preference shares with a guaranteed 8% dividend per year.

Fuhrman was a partner in both MSD companies until last year, when he retired from those roles. He's a billiionaire in his own right (far richer than Short).

Magnus has said when this is all over he will name his source, the only way his source could have such detailed information is if they were subject to the NDA, thus by naming him surely Magnus would be opening him up to potential future legal issues.

Oh yes. He should absolutely not name his source. I am disregarding everything he says because of that tbh. It's a bit of a concern to me that he would even say that - putting his credibility on a f***ing message board, above the confidence of his source. Like, if its announced and done - who f***ing cares about the ITK stuff then? Proof of his credibility is in the pudding, not who his source is.

I don't hold any faith in any ITKs tbh, certainly not that one. My view is there is far too much smoke without fire for nothing to be happening - the mainstream journalists (who are fact-checked by legal teams) are all very knowingly "wink wink, nudge, nudge" too. I'm relaxed, but I honestly don't care or trust any of the gobshittery on this or the other site. Some people are just passing stuff on to be helpful because they are fans, others are trying to harvest all the attention going - bored of it.

This is my concern, and was my concern with FPP as a group, I'd much rather someone with less cash but good knowledge or experience of running football clubs. FPP by all accounts reached out to Marwood (I think to consult rather than jump ship) but literally got no response (not even a no) so if thats true they at least understand what they lack and hopefully he continues in this vein.
