Looking at the people richer than Dell it's hard to find many who'd be interested in an English football team.

According to the BBC he's worth $28.6 Billion, which would top any other sports owner in the world. 1% of his wealth would do nicely! Interestingly he is also worth exactly 10 Ashley's.
 

Surely we'll need a new airport, (on the fallow Nissan land Brexit will create :)), another hotel on the Vaux site with a pedestrian bridge connecting the SOL, a car park, somewhere, and the stadium expansion of course :).

Well it's quite a while since I came on here. But prompted by an uninvited and idiotic intervention from a dark side follower earlier today at work, I thought I'd have a look on here and see what he might have been getting so hot under the collar about. I have been absurdly busy recently and have missed all the rumours that have seemingly been flying around lately.

So now I see!

It may all of course come to nought or not much, but it does make life a bit interesting. Another lad at work, also of the unfortunate persuasion but very sound indeed, sees the prospect as a great thing for us if it happens, and actually possibly a good thing for them as well, being of the mind that Ashley, whom he neither loathes nor loves, might respond and eventually drop his price and secure a better owner for them. We both agreed mind, that what was incomprehensible is why any rich bloke would want to buy any football club in any case, but that's another matter.

We'll see soon I suppose. We are, as it stands now, in a whole better world than we might have been in not too long back. The current owners are IMHO to be greatly thanked for this return to sanity and some sort of financial balance. It will not have been easy and it seems to me that it was probably one of those things that looks a lot easier now, once it has been done.

If they manage to arrange a deal of this kind, I hope they make a profit. They will have deserved it, as they will deserve plenty more thanks from us.

Good to see you post on here again, hope life is treating you well
 
when you read it like this...

“Sunderland owner Stewart Donald has agreed to sell a majority stake in the football club to four US men who would collectively make the Black Cats one of the richest-owned clubs in the world.”

Let those words sink in. Is this it? I mean, is this...it? Are we ‘doing a City?’ I’m going to have to have a quiet word with myself here and calm the fuck down.

Yes we are. They won't want us dicking around in league one and the championship, that's for sure.
