    Sorry he puts him down as though he knows more than him

    But his accounts are gobbledegook where GOM makes it so we can understand

    Plus he has a thing against SD though he can't explain it multiple times

    He does have a bit of an agenda against him but I don't look into it I just like to see separate views on the same numbers. More information the merrier for me as long as it's not absolute bull ****.

    That's the good thing if both posted on here as if one bull ****ted the other could call him out.

    I'm very cautious as i just expect bad things to happen to us. If that makes me less than a true fan so be it.

    There is being cautious and there is looking for the worst things.

    Nothing wrong with being cautious mate

    Wait!
    Wait!
    I know this one...

    Is the answer:
    "because they're not true SAFC fans"?!

    They're actually a collection of mags, undercover mags, social misfits, and perennial moaners who get their jollies by trolling SAFC fans on a stupidly popular website with ****posting?

    We always expect the worse because that's what most of our support has been served over the years

    I have noticed that but it still good to see how people who know the financial side tell us.

    I'm good at maths but taxes all that bollocks I just leave it up to my accountant.

    These guys are seriously wealthy if we can get under their skin and get promoted the sky is the limit.

    Not just the wealth either its their business connections they are elite businessmen top of their game make wall street guys look like amateurs.

    Plus if the passive investor Mr Dell decides he wants to take a punt.. who knows.. 0.01% of his wealth probably be a **** load.

    I'm just amazed that any Sunderland fan can try and find a negative about this. Do I wish it was a full takeover? Yes. Would I be happier if they at least bought about 20%? Yes.

    This isn't the ideal result, but what it does mean is that we have another 3 (possibly 4) billionaires with a vested interest in how SAFC do. It means we can improve the areas which should give us long term success. It means these people are hardly likely to go elsewhere. It means they are very, very likely to end up with ownership down the line, all we need to do is the relatively simple task of getting out of league one. It means that the current owners don't need to spend on infrastructure, when January comes they can invest in the playing side (we don't need much but some would be good) without feeling like they should be spending on other areas first. It means we've taken the first step to coming back. No way on earth is this their sole involvement in SAFC, it wouldn't be worth their while.

    It's sad to see that some are determined to still seek negatives, to still belittle it, to play it down and pretend it means nowt. I think half of them probably wish FPP had walked away completely because it would give them something else in their life to moan about.

    Well **** them. I'm happy, I'm looking optimistically to the future for our club again and you know what, **** message boards for tonight, I'm going to go and get pissed because I'm working from home tomorrow. Hope all the decent SAFC fans who are excited about the possibilities that have opened up today have a good drink and a cracking night, cheers all <cheers>:emoticon-0167-beer:
