These lads are very bright. Getting some real estate sewn up early for when we crash out of the EU and have to become the 51st state in the union to have a functioning economy. SAFC will be a new MLS franchise.

Away matches (or "Road" games as we will have to call them from now on) are going to be a nightmare mind.

Aye but think of the tailgate parties we can have in our parking lot before the soccer

I’m as negative as the next Sunderland supporter but if you think about it rationally, why on earth would four super rich businessmen invest in our club if they didn’t have ambitions to make us a massive success. I can’t believe for one second they would fly across the other side of the world to fuck about in the third division .!

Exactly this. Flay across the pond to take in Sunderland v Wimbledon in the third division. Hardly going to bother doing that unless they have some seriously big plans.

Is it just me that thinks what ever happens is partially fucked as we have a clueless manager, average team and have missed doing anything remotely decent in the most important transfer window? We can be backed by billions or tens of millions but it’s no good when we can’t sign any one. Yeah there’s January, but I can’t see us breaking the bank for decent quality players to dig us out of what ever shit storm were in by then. Sorry chaps.

In the main, yeah, probably only you and one or two others.

I think the loopholes will be closing very soon. Derby in the news earlier in relation to this and selling the ground for £x million to get around it. They're now being investigated.

Selling real estate to the owner is a very obvious one. No reason we can't be sponsored by anyone whos willing to pay the money though. Since by all accounts Michael Dell is a silent partner, MSD Capital is the official company that is buying us so Dell can sponsor whoever they want. All hypothetical at this stage of course.

Aye, I agreed with most tbh, but I thought the criticism of the fans at the play off final was ill advised tbh. Nowt major but it seemed a bit harsh given the support was given all season. Wasn't at all bothered by the parasite comment or the one about fans trying to stir shit with the media, he was spot on with both imo

Our support at the play off final was absolutely dreadful and may have helped lose us the chance of promotion.. I agreed with every word he said..

It was like, was absolutely piss poor. We were quiet at Wembley when we should have been deafening and the play off semi final at home was an embarrasing attendance.
 
I've said fuck all about this, as like many I was worried that it would turn to shit.
I am however going to support Riv in all of this having met the bloke and he's a thoroughly good fella. Remember that old cad greedminds? He was banging on a couple of weeks ago on his facebook the same story as riv in it being a done deal. Now he might be not to everyone's taste on here, but I will take his and Riv's word on this. Its good enough for me.

Tomorrow is the day apparently.

I will be sinking a few tomorrow alright :lol:

Yes I'm sure there will still be ways around it and they aren't half arsed business men so the plans will be ready for us... Exciting times ahead.
