Takeover Rumours

[Billy Fish]

How the fuck does someone get that rich?

Is there a dell computer in every single house in the world?

Rodwell did it playing the slots at the Metro Centre

What I would say is the mags and fans of other league one clubs who usually pipe up on this forum are very quiet on this thread...

They’ll be praying it’s not who it’s rumoured to be like. We’ll be rich as fuck if it is.

#NewManCity

You will hear plenty soon enough if the rumour is untrue. "The Mag" will have a field day.

From SD's perspective agree but a new buyer would spend shed loads getting us back in the Premier, only to spend shed loads keeping us there.

Once you get to the Premier League the TV money means it's possible to be run sustainably. Staying there and competing is the hard bit like.

 

[Eddie Hitler]

it makes me laugh when Villa were throwing money at it in the summer; loads on here were wishing us the worst for trying to buy success. Now the same jealous, bitter, hypocritical morons are on their knees, praying that wealthy owners buy Sunderland so that they can (ahem) try to buy success.

Fucks this bellend?

 

[Daniels]

Since we might not be dependant on the shirt sponsorship money. Can we get the new Vaux brewery to do it? Since the Adidas deal is gone let’s try Hummel as well.

He's just reappeared after a long absence

 

[ouro]

Is this reliable?

About as reliable as all the Chronicle stories about transfer targets after the scum latest takeover rumour: 'Right, we will have Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo.....'

Maybe it's me but I don't see how you can really make money in football now. When average players are going for 15-20m

There’s shit loads of money to be made in the premier league and champions league. Liverpool probably made almost 300 million from just them two competitions alone last season. Then there’s sponsor money, merchandise, shirt sales, selling average players for high sums and replacing them with better for less. There’s a reason rich people buy teams.

Why wouldn’t he just buy it from Short instead of Stewart Donald then in the first place?

Short wanted more money & less work now that SD has already cleaned up the books at a cheaper price

 

[Frankel]

What a load of shite man

 

[janey]

No idea if this is true, obviously I’d love it to be, but I don’t get the ‘why would they buy Sunderland’ from some.
If we are in as good financial shape as we are led to believe, with the structure we have, including the stadium, the Academy, and the fanbase we must be a pretty good proposition for any potential buyers. They’d get us relatively cheap for a football club and if they have money to invest they’d have the opportunity to maximise returns on that investment by getting us promoted, eventually to the Premier League.
All ifs and ands obviously but I still think we’d be a decent investment, especially when we win the Champions League

 

[bobpc30]

I can’t see a bloke that build Dell from the ground up and amassed a £37b fortune being arsed about SAFC, mind.

Same here.

 

[Herberthall]

Really need a LB like

 

[Mantobar]

Yeh. We could have gone to the wall.
But the fans who despised short made the club debt free.
The difference is night and day.
I’ll refrain from calling you names as you are entitled to your opinion.

Well refrained mother teresa

Don't get the hummel love in? Agree Adidas have shafted us design wise lately but why go back to the 80s/ early 90s.

Really hope this investor is real and ready to pump money in when it's needed.

 

[Deleted member 7101]

I'm choosing not to believe any of this until I see it directly confirmed. A bit too much dreaming going on here for my liking. This is Sunderland,remember,where disappointment is in our DNA!
It needs sorting quickly though mind,one way or the other,'cos we can't afford any detrimental effect to our on-pitch activities.....,which it will have if it drags......they're fragile enough as it is.

Even if we do get git rich awab men in won't the EFL FFP rules hold us back anyway? Wolves were loaded but succeeded through contacts and the "super agent". Other wealthy owners have failed in the lower league's despite significant investment

 

[Left For Dead]

The stadium of Dellight.

The Stadium was Right
The Stadium of Might
The Stadium of Bite


Like in Galatasaray when you walk in we can have a massive Banner stating 'WELCOME TO DELL'.

Ways around it like sponsoring the ground, shirts etc

it's not news yet man!

Its crushing news to think your rivals could become the new Man City - from both sides - don't know how the likes of Torino, City over the years and Leeds.
