Takeover Rumours

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?

At the end of the day after accomplishing all that, they'll still own the club, which they'll be able to sell for much more than they payed for it if we've won the Champions League by then.
 
When Newcastle were linked with takeovers it was all about how nobody with great wealth would come to north east, nothing here for them etc etc.

Seems people can find a million reasons why rich tycoons would come to north east when its Sunderland ;)
Personally, I think this is an exceptional circumstance as it appears the investors are not purely in it for financial gain but also to create a legacy. If so that is a refreshing concept as to why “rich tycoons would come to the north east” As to it being Sunderland I guess we were in the right place at the right time with the perfect infrastructure to build on

will they? abranchich won the champs league at chslea..cant find a buyer to give him his money back..
 
There seems to be a figure of 100 million being banded about saying this is what it will cost to get us to the premiership.In reality this could be done much cheaper, its down to the quality of the scouting team and the manager for me. The big bucks will be spent in the premiership i think. 40 mill for a football club virtually debt free ,well managed and the size of Sunderland AFC its a snip for a group of billionaires.
Very true, with a good scouting network, you only have to look at players that we were linked with in the past few years, a lot of these players that we could have bought for relatively small sums of money that have progressed into big name players worth a lot of money, all you need is top scouts and top coaches, you don't always have to spend massive amounts of money in transfer fees, although sometimes a big transfer fee can be beneficial to the business if there is a business case for it.

too be fair the mags have had to deal with few fake shiekhs... sometime with comical outcomes.
fat mike been quite tricky ... he's like a die hard sniper, shooting down and even killing their deluded hopes and dreams
 
it will still be a registered llp partnerhsip company though..it wont be registered in their names...f it were the tax implications would be vast..

The point is it isn’t an investment being made for the prime purpose of delivering returns. That’s how it differs, that difference is very important
 
Is this really going to happen? Still having trouble with it sinking in to be honest and will only believe it when it's on the front page of BBC website.

Suppose we have just wait and see but if it doesn't happen, the vermin are going to have a field day are they not?
 
...Again. I’ve noticed him pop up twice on this thread. Both times with the same dig, just worded slightly differently. He’s proper odd.
He's always made odd posts
They’re buying us through MSD Partners - not MSD Capital.
That makes complete sense from a business point of view.. A new vehicle for the new business venture, anyone in business would do that or at least be advised to do so to protect the core business.
