Takeover Rumours

[Grumpy Old Man]

SD currently liking tweets from people saying they're happy he's staying on after the takeover. He's making no attempt to rubbish the reports.

He has and will do a great job for us in league 1 but with all due respect he will be out of his depth in the premier league which is where we should be.

I think he knew that from the start. Great business opportunity for him & he grabbed it with both hands.

Dear me

Potentially great news and a certain dullards 1st thought is to have a pop at other fans. What an existence

Pathetic

While this is very very good news. Reality is Dell will probably never be seen or heard and probably but in 500k

Been out all morning, can someone confirm is this Micheal Dell who founded Dell Computers, cos if it is he's the 20th richest bloke in the world

Not for much longer...

Please for fuck sake

So the latest reports are saying its the 3 others and not Michael dell is this correct

Dell will be a passive shareholder, ie not on the board. He will also be a minority shareholder.

I am reading the reports right, these FOUR partners, including Dell are investing their own personal money into the club?

As long as the other 3 are rich enough to help.

Perspective needed by everyone. SAFC is dearly loved by most on this board but to these four geezers we are probably number 14 of the 20 investments they are making round the world this month. StewDo will run it for them having had his business plan approved by them. Be great if they turned up to a match but somehow I doubt it will happen. We are tiny financially compared to the pots they manage.

I see what you're saying but the distinction is that they are personally investing in us, not as part of their investment firm.

Oh, is that the reality? I think I understand more about when people refer to themselves as ‘realists’ now.

The devil is in the detail, when it emerges. At the moment, it's ambiguous as to whether it's them in person, the four of them creating a new investment vehicle (just a variation on the first there), or via MSD Partners. Until filings begin to appear at Companies House, it's impossible to say,

So he won't be putting money in?

 

[MrMojo]

Really pleased and well done to those involved, love a bit of positivity. Sounds like we'll keep progressing steadily instead of splashing the cash. Onwards and upwards, let's enjoy the journey!

How is that reality? You've clearly made it up

 

[Deleted member 37458]

Lets hope it all works out! And we can beat the mags next season and make it 8 in a row.

Fingers crossed. I would love 8 in a row but unhappily our 7th game was a 1 1 draw.

Trust you to put a downer on this, typical
