With a University, campus, and schools around the area, along with student accommodation and flats...

What making up is there?

Open yer flipping eyes, the facts are there

What facts, you've only managed wild guesswork so far ...
... so, no change there :lol:

How is it guesswork?

We get thousands of students coming here every year, that's why there's a lot of accommodation everywhere...

Stop going against the grain just because you like arguing with me.

I think he is simply being facetious, by pointing out that you are demanding "facts" about the takeover and until people provide these "facts" it it isn't true, yet you can speak of other things without "facts" and assert they are true i.e. double standards.
 
daft question, but what will these yanks get out of it if they do come in, plough millions into us, win the premier league and champions league etc.. surely the prize money and extra marketing revenue will be nothing compared to what it would cost to get us there?

They're here to make money though, according to some.

They'd make more money just sitting on the interest

A warm, fuzzy glow?

Seriously, the feeling I've got is that this is not a money-making venture. If that were the case, they'd be investing via their partnership, which is an equity fund, whose purpose is to invest money on behalf of investors,and make a return on it for them That they're doing this as individuals suggests something different. More than one poster has used the term "legacy project". That's a quasi-philanthropic thing where the primary aim is to leave something behind that you'll be remembered for; if you can make some kind of capital profit as well, that's even better, but it's not the primary motivation. It's also worth remembering that buying the club and getting us into the PL will probably cost less in total than Ashley's asking price for Newcastle (and with none of the baggage that comes with owning them).

Free advertising to 318m people in the US and millions more globally on Netflix?
That's just for starters..

..
Also they take a biz worth 50million into a 1-2 billion business while only spending 500million.

Would you not want to own a top team in Europe?...

I don't think any of the things you've just mentioned are actually going to happen. That's not me being pessimistic, there just seems to be an assumption that those with lots of money are far more inclined to throw it away than anybody else. It's entirely counter-intuitive.

Why bother? They could make more money elsewhere
 
Micheal Dell share price fell by 7% a few days ago due to Trump putting huge tariffs on Chinese Imports( Dell has hardware facilities over there). He lost an estimated $1.2 Billion leaving him with a paltry £30 billion net worth.
This is off subject a bit, but imagine if Dell opens a massive manufacturing plant at the IAMP and a European HO at Vaux, to avoid Tariffs with China, as hopefully the UK will have a trade deal with China, and US and eventually the EU. Sunderland could have an above average PL team and provide 1,000's of more jobs for the NE. We can dream.:)

Probably want us for the same reason one of them collects works of art it is his hobby. When somebody has that much money they can basically buy what they want, probably already have the fantastic mansion, the expensive cars etc. It will be a hobby for them in my opinion, and taking an ailing football club and turning it around into a successful one is probably far more interesting than simply watching stocks and shares and counting how many multiples of millions you have actually got.

We can dream but it won't happen.

Aw fuck off man. I've been dampening my excitement and recalling QPR's "richest club in the world" title, looking at Arsenal and Kroenke and how he "invests" in Arsenal, arguing with @Reiver about expectations almost daily and you come along and post this. Now I'm excited and if we get let down again I'm blaming you and hunting you down :lol::lol:

Maybe, but it still doesn't automatically follow that they will pump money in. We're just used to seeing that.
