Significant investment by FPP has been made

[nandos sonic sauce]

we are conditioned to failure nandos.. but it has arrived.. it will take a bit longer for some people to realise it.. and i wouldnt blame them.. im the miserablst bastard on here and im happy..

We are in a shit place atm, No doubt. However if you had told me these blokes would be interested in SAFC in the slightest, i would have laughed you off. Our shit place may actually be one of the deciding factors they chose us in the first place. I always believe positive things happen to positive people. If you don't buy a ticket, you don't win

its all good mate.. might not happen this season.. but i hope it does.. donald needs to show his minerals now.. this ten million figure is loose change to these people.. he really is dealing with the big boys..

Its took away some of the excitement the way its unfolding. I wouldve much preferred them to buy it out right. It would also be good to hear what the plans are from the horses mouths. That said, its a start and hopefully leads to a full takeover. Im nervous about SD and CM still making the decisions. The ideal scenario would be them taking full control then first job, pay what it takes to get a top chief exec in. A kenyon or dein, even in a consultancy capacity, or maybe someone who has overseen a rebuild at a continental club. It would be the most important signing they make as the chief exec would set the tone for the rest of the club.

I think he will know after months of talks how the big lads work. I like SD and i really want it to work for him, but i reckon he will have had a very tough few months arranging this. I have said loads of times, but he has always said "Judge me on who's hands i leave you in" I have always said i will judge him on that. He has certainly got a mega player lined up

 

[JL1985]

Methven said the investment is ‘approaching’ an 8 figure sum, so in other words it’s its a 7 figure investment which is still good news.

i think hes just whey out of his depth and needs a bit of help.. he has the tools to do it now..

why not just say approaching 10million then. Absolute clown.

 

[Mansfield Mackem]

I always said don’t believe it till there holding the scarf outside the AOL.

 

[AlpineExile]

Have got a grip thanks. No details have come out about what this £10m is for. It could be owt, im cautiously optimistic but wont blindly swallow anything that is fed to me. I would say its the people who just take everything at face value that should get a grip.

So Charlie didn't say?

 

[Mally Mackem]

It's happening.

its happended

 

[scott934]

It was always investment and it is significant at this level. Keep listening to Alan Nixon and the sun if you like, but literally nothing of what they said has come true.

So do you think this is the extent of it then mate? Do you think there was never and will never be a FPP takeover of SAFC?

well said! Im amazed at the blind faith shown considering what we were told about Eliis and thd takeover then what came to light.

 

[BumbleBee]

Yes he did, he said FPP were, "investing in our management of the club". A suitably vague description that could mean anything. As far as i understand the share structure is unchanged. It begs the question, what are they getting for that?


Im not being negative, just cautiously optimistic.

Could be interpreted as - get us up this year or you're out.

But they (FPP) don't have the power to remove them...

 

[BumbleBee]

But they (FPP) don't have the power to remove them...

We don't know that.

 

[scott934]

We don't know that.

What scenario could there be that it's possible?

 

[BumbleBee]

What scenario could there be that it's possible?

We don't know the exact details of "the investment". E.g. they could call the repayment in anytime- if Madrox default willingly or other then it's a different ball game.

The New investment coming into the club is playing the long game. Get the club back to the PL. brick by brick with responsible capital calls to Sunderland. They are interested in making money on there principal investment.
