Some people are more anal than the true geordie!
we're getting took over - gerrin - that's it for me. Don't need to know owt else for now. Especially as we're winning games which is what matters
Nothing wrong with people asking info about potential owners
 
The investment is from msd partners isn’t it? Which is a company rather than those three individuals, who are employees of msd. I’m sure there will be investment, they can’t turn the business around without it, but it’s not a series of billionaires ready to throw their dollars into the sol.


I’m pretty sure I read that it was not their company money. It was private investment from the four men.

That's irrelevant, they can still invest their own money as well.

There's also nothing to stop other people investing or sponsoring the club.

FFP rules require a degree of initiative to bypass ...

... we all have to learn not to take everything at face value.
 
Investors of this ilk and financial muscle are not buying the club to sit in the Championship or bottom half of the prem for seasons on end
If they financed us back into the Premiership they could sell us for a good quick profit.

If I had billions I wouldn’t buy some third division baseball club for any other reason than to make a quick buck. But that’s probably why I’m poor.

Not being funny but apart from the article in the Times which first announced the breaking news about the takeover no local reporter had a clue about it

Now all of a sudden James hunter recons they're still going through the books

It's all just guesswork from the local journos
 
I've simply done what you weren't capable of. Searched, found the information, read it and understood it. This enabled me to share the information with others without anyone being cynical.
It doesn't tell you about them being billionaires anywhere.

That's why I'm asking people where they got the link from, you obviously haven't got a link to this information.

He'll know, but he'll only write what the club let him. You have to remember that SAFC is his bread and butter so he can't bite the hand that feeds him.
 
Quite right, that's where Ashley went wrong.

I think things are further progressed tbh.

Aye, I'd be amazed if they're still at the "going through the books" stage. The club no doubt gave the nod to Roker Report to publish about the takeover, the owners have been pretty open in being photographed with them. To me they wouldn't be doing that if there was still a fair bit to do

You're right, I don't. I've never said I do, infact I haven't even looked as I didn't really need to. I actually take people's word for things instead of thinking that everyone is constantly lying to me.

Their minions would have been all over the books before they even considered a buyout tbh.

No it’s not, according to reports anyway. It’s the partners of MSD investing in a personal capacity
