It was tongue in cheek as it was never meant to get more than a 'jammy bastards!' reply. No one knows what happens when a new owner comes in - someone rightly pointed out, other clubs have new owners and still struggled.

She does head up a 28 billion consortium, by all accounts. So they feasibly could get City levels of money. No one but me is saying that, but it is my thread, the point of which was to say 'it would be just our luck for them to score new owners when out board is awash with desperation for us to get new owners'. That's it.

You're the one that started banging on about obsession. And you're at massive pains to say how not bothered you are if they do well. Fair play to you for that - I hate the fuckers, and would prefer them to do shit. It's part of that whole 'them being rivals' thing.

But as our rivals, most fans tend to take a look at what they do. And it's more than possible to do that without being obsessed. The rivalry, while it might seem it at times, is part of the fun of the game.

I think you will find I didn't start it, 3 posters mentioned it before me, you included. My original point remains, it doesn't matter what they do, they couldn't make our situation worse, as your tongue in cheek title implies. I'd much rather SAFC were a well ran club, competing in the Premier League, but we aren't. We are a f***ing shambles languishing at the bottom of the Championship. Them being bought out by Sheikh Rattlenroll doesn't make our situation worse, getting relegated to league 1 does.

Bloody hell - Man United, ethical club of the people! Total bollocks.

That total bollocks was said in a non-aggressive way, by the way. Not sure who you're engaged to either, but hope that all works out for you, good luck for the future and all that.

The absolute horse shit comment just seemed a bit out of context from your previous posts, seemed like the convo was going canny, bit of tongue in check back and forth then snap. Sorry if I mis read your humor, I'm quite defensive by nature and attack back. All the best to you too fella. :)
 
Seems to me she is a financier that manages investments to maximise returns.
Far far different to what goes on at city or chelsea or psg where for the owners it is an ego thing and they have unlimited amounts of money to waste.
Remember those rich arabs that bought pompey

It would appear that some of us errrm you are obsessed with them. All that matters to me is how we are doing, they are a mere distraction. I hate the cunts but what they do is pretty irrelevant to me. My point still remains, in our current situation it couldn't piss on our parade anymore than Ellis Short is doing

Hey Confucius, we don't have a parade anymore it has been closed down along with the fanzone, we had 10 years in the richest league in the world and just racked up debt. Our shitty neighbors were relegated twice in that time yet still manage to attract a good manager which there can be no doubt he is and be spoken about as the next club with potential big investment. Like it or not we seem to have been left behind somewhat, it's quite frankly shameful!

So what?

It's got nowt to do with safc.

I don't watch nufc, I couldn't give a shite about who is in the stands

This feeds them. It allows them to talk about obsession.

Think please

The Scum are more interested in Sunderland misery than there clubs results..... Please tell me what happened why Liverpool did not win just noticed the result???
 
At the mags match yesterday, facebook/twitter full of mags claiming a middle east takeover. Some quick background reading shows she does have connections. But for fuck sake after the luck the jammy twats got yesterday they can't land on their feet once again! I couldn't bare to see/listen the way they would go on if something like that happened.
 
If they were taken over by somebody like da awab man what's rown down at man shitty, then it would only be a matter of time before said awab mans rich mate saw us and thought "I'll have some of that" - Knowing our luck though a consortium of Awab men could try and take us over and Ellis would say no
 
George Caulkin tweeted about her being a guest of the Mags at yesterday's game and people have been putting 2 + 2 together.

Apparently she controls £28bn of investment money :eek:

Some of the Mags actually do just that :lol:

But it's not what gives you away, it's just so obvious but you can't see it.
