Serious takeover talk

Brilliant news mate onward and upwards!

 

That's a 9 figure sum

Sorry seen someone picked up on it

 

Ah spot on thank you very much mate!

Don't have a twitter account but that's greatly appreciated. I don't mind paying a bit extra if he can enjoy it more especially when we score!

 

Yea just found out but still happy though we are on the way up I can feel it.

These guy's aren't idiots they are elite level businessmen who will have many contacts, hopefully they will invest want SD, JS and CM to do so equally but looking to become the major shareholders once we hit the Championship/Premiership (hopefully)

We are going to be taking the scenic route back and I'm looking forward to it.

 

Right mate. My daughter has Downs, and went to Portland Academy. There were a few kids in there with that type of autism, so I know what you mean.

Both my daughters are over 21 now, and both season card holders. The youngest one with Downs gets so excited when we score, she gets a coughing fit, and we often have to take her downstairs to compose herself.

Well done for converting your nephew to the 'light side'.

 

Did you purchase one of the rooms for her to go into for the match? If so what are they like and how much do they cost?

Thank you very much I've got a brilliant picture of him when surprised him before Wimbledon game with his first Sunderland strip. My mother even wanted a copy of it to print out for in her house.

 

I am mate. In fact, the Cheshire cat is kicking off because I'm smiling so much, accusing me of stealing his trick he is there mate. I'm also pleased that it seems this is along the lines of long term planning with a focus on scouting and the academy set up, rather than just pissing millions on fees and wages. I'd go so far as to say it's a cracking day to be a MLF there mate.

 

No mate she just sits in the South East Corner with me, her sister and her sisters fiance. Loves it!

 

May look into that corner next game he wanted to be pitch side at weekend so in block L7 row 1.

So if anybody is near and see's a big tall lad with a youngin give me a wave

 

That is my thoughts Janey, I have listened to every podcast Stewart Donald has done and read most of what has been attributed to him and I can't recall him ever using the term "takeover" and I believe he has always insisted that he was looking for investment.

 

Well done @Smug in Boots ....enjoy your beers the night mate I raise my glass to you and our future

 

And that’s why I’m struggling with those critical of it not being a takeover. I’m taking a huge investment as a positive and giving credit to those who have attracted it. Again, unless proven wrong I can’t see this being a stick to beat them with.

 

Before we go totally overboard lets spare a thought for those poor clubs who will now have to huddle together and draw the wagons in a circle.

Just what are Manchester City. Chelsea, et al going to do now?

Once they were kings

Well done Smug for sticking to your guns when people were trying to slag you off.
You kept some of us believing when hopes were starting to fade with the negative reporting.Cheers

 

Nice hats but not cheap - do the club get anything out of it or is it better to go through the shop?

 

Aye I noticed that like canny pricey

 

well nothing on tyne tees news but got a mention at the beginning of look north.

 

Been mentioned loads on Total Sport.

Apparently 8 figure sum invested towards the AOL, SOL, Recruitment and Infrastructure.

In other words... bloody brilliant!

Not pissing money up wall and starting from bottom up doing things properly!

 

Probably not quite as good or the same range but Bobbles for a tenner in the club store

 

You're right. Somebody asked Donald a question at a talk-in at Consett, and used the word 'takeover'. Donald answered the question, but didn't contradict him, so some assumed that meant that it was a takeover, but Donald never actually said it was.
