Takeover Rumours

[seanwharton]

Do the EFL work on a bank holiday Monday

I’m sure they are working on ownership of clubs today without doubt !

 

[niknak_123]

Going to be boring winning every week mind

 

[gipetto]

I agree with leaving the owners to get on with it but I also think when your club has gone through the mill a little bit you develop a certain level of scepticism. At the end of the day you love your club and you worry what the next guy wants to come in and rip out

Agreed, a fan member sitting on the board (ideally someone from RAWA) would be a good idea and very much welcome imo. We can't go back to the Short days having made so much progress with Donald and Methven. Granted of they delivered a successful team, I wouldn't care as much, but there's nothing wrong with fan involvement, providing the fans we're talking about aren't knackers.

I honestly don't know how we've managed for the 100 years.

Me neither, whoever thought it up is a pure genius imho...

 

[Binxy]

Gerrin lad!!! it's exactly what we need, a footbridge so we can cross the river....

Fuck the footbridge let's get the monorail built.

 

[S3RGIO33]

Nothing that specific, other than what's been in the press, ie he'll be a shareholder, but not on the board. That's not unheard of, even with 100% owners; Abramovic isn't on the board at Chelsea, nor is Ashley up the road.

Would we have seen companies house info yet if it was close to completion though?

 

[GillytheGilf]

The way I see it (rightly or wrongly ) is this MSD company are there to manage Michael Saul Dell's wealth and these 3 blokes that come over on Saturday work for /directors of MSD.?
How people can say dell isn't involved has me scratching my head like .

 

[dappaw]

Interesting to see if Michael Dell is part of it or not.

I agree mate, although SD did drop the Dell Boy computer quote into the mix. Also the Times Article did quote that he would be involved in the background.

I prefer the zip line idea!

So you have never been to Sunderland and you think you can judge the people’s expectations

Personally I think he's full of shit. If he isn't it makes a lot of what he's says very patronising. I know we're very set in our ways up here and we all know Sunderland isn't exactly Beverley hills. But fuck me there seems to be a lot of people who think they know everything about us and how to fix it. I might be being biased here, but I love where I live.

What quote was that?

 

[JimmyQuinn]

inctreasing links with the community can mean anything. they arent going to develop other businesses in sunderland for the sake of it, why would they? they aere philantropists but not this..they want a long term growth asset..
are they so good at business that they can see long term growth in other assets associated with safc that ellis short couldnt? and quinn and his property developer mates?

Everyone on this board can see the growth potential

Difference is we don't have the money to make it happen

Mood seems odd given it looks like his mate(s) will be sticking around

On the podcast

We should all be issued with one of those hover boards that French gadgie crossed the channel on.

 

[vinegar hill]

if they do that the safc fans will go absolutely f***ing beserk..they want instant success NOW not youth players. and when the youth players come though safc fans will just condemn them anyway. there needs to be an attitude change from safc fansd.

Mate, just log off and fuck off back onto the Mag boards.

 

[The Jarra Wanderer]

I like the phrase used by a poster above, maybe they're buying tli


If its true (probably not) then I hope their big real estate plans don't impact upon Mackem Pizza near the deaf club in any way, rather the deal abborted if so.

I use at least 3 of the burger vans behind the deafy on the way to the match. There’ll be f***ing hell on if they attempt to relocate them.

 

[JHmackem]

Few asking if the EFL work today...is this that close that it could go through today like, have I missed something?

 

[Sleepy]

Mate, just log off and fuck off back onto the Mag boards.

Just whack the negative twats on ignore, it makes this place class!

Three strike rule...3rd negative post and ignore. Works wonders and cleanses the mind

 

[Fetch Fletch]

The footbridge!! they're going to build the footbridge, oh my God!!! it's really going to happen.

Or disposal income in the city. Billionaires can build as many hotels, restaurant and casino as they like. It doesn't mean folk can afford to visit them.
