Takeover Rumours

[Kidder_wolf_ii]

Yeah I'd be seriously worried if we took the wolves route it looks unsustainable

Our owners ain’t stupid.

Aye but they are investing which means they will the club to be making them money at the same time

They could make more money just sitting on the interest..

 

[Bears Beets]

They are Americans however and you have had one of them already, When Americans invest, they borrow the money first, and they aren't big on individual accountability or taking any personal risk. The fact that a few people who could afford your club all on their own are grouping together would concern me if it was happening at Newcastle. The takeover would be starting with the club in debt.

Fuming

Well I'm day dreaming of beating the mags by double figures as we march to yet another title.

Maybe I'm just old and sceptical
I'll happily eat my words when we are back in the Prem and competitive

Not overly bothered about doing a city.

Some financial clout to upgrade the ground and Academy and mainly upgrade the skeleton staff we seem to be working with.

Not sure how many coaches we have but it seems jack , his marra and keeper coach do a hell of a lot.

Plus scouting needs a big lift.

As long we remain realistic. Some of posters on here are going crazy man

Ahem

Let them crack on and enjoy themselves. It's not affecting your life. You can keep it real and they can go crazy.

I would agree with that usually, but it just doesn't make sense for 3-4 billionaires to join forces, buy a club in England just to keep it in the Championship.

I think we will need at least 1 season in champo if not 2 ,you are right though these boys arnt likely to take to long to prem

What will the mags think though? That's the most important bit, if it doesn't happen/work, they'll come on here and take the piss...

Ahem

I think most people, including myself, are having a laugh with it. Lighten up marra.

What do you mean by this? What happened today especially (I’m abroad so have only really seen the score tbh)

The three main investors were all at the match, and were certainly around the ground on Friday. It should be a matter of just getting it over the line now.

Interesting read by
Craig Davies and opinions of the consortium.

US investment group set to take ownership stake in Sunderland - dare we start to get excited?

Does anyone know if Michael Dell was there yesterday? I couldn't see him in any of the photos

Of course he wasnt

 

[DrewC]

I know. It's literally an epoch moment for the club. Nobody ever saw this coming except for SD and CM. Heroes. Absolute heroes for the club in last 18 months. Saved us no doubt in my mind.

Also Short taking a loss for the club to sell it having put us in this position should not also be lost in the conversation... Thank you Ellis for leaving Sunderland with a chance to survive

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Genuine answer BC.
Your original post sounded like a shitty dig. That’s why you’re getting lots of shitty responses. It didn’t feel like a genuine question.

Really?
Must be a few snowflakes around TBH

 

[bassman]

Of course he wasnt

Sorry for asking...

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

I was told today the deal was signed about 3 weeks ago and they were here last week too? That's why donald was so chuffed last week and the news has come out. Just awaiting the usual efl fit and proper person test which will be a formality

There’s no such thing as the ‘fit and proper persons test’

Totally agree.

 

[Old Trafford 1964]

Are these people investing themselves or as the company MSD partners? Wonder what Dell's personal involvement will be

 

[Coeus]

Didn’t know the Brits were so xenophobic and bigoted...Good to know!

What a terribly stupid thing to say.
