It's only a matter of time before Sunderland return to the Premier League under their new billionaire ownership.
That's the view of Accrington Stanley chairman Andy Holt, who issued his backing to the takeover headed up by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, during a lengthy social media post.
After purchasing a majority stake in the club from previous owner Stewart Donald - with the now former chairman retaining a minority share - Swiss billionaire Louis-Dreyfus saw his acquisition rubber stamped by the EFL yesterday.
It comes two months after he agreed a deal with Sunderland's previous owners.
The exact worth of Louis-Dreyfus remains unclear, but it's thought a trust fund estimated to be in excess of £2billion is being held by his mother, Margarita Bogdanova.
She remains a minority shareholder at Marseille, after selling a majority stake in 2016 - and she previously operated there alongside late husband and Kyril's father, Robert Louis-Dreyfus, who passed away in 2009.
Robert was widely heralded as a major factor in the French club's return to the elite of European football, leading them to two UEFA Cup finals in 1999 and 2004.
Kyri's mother, meanwhile, is considered to be the richest Russian woman on the planet - with Forbes estimating her worth to be around the $5.6million mark.
But what exactly does this all mean for Sunderland?
After detailing his own financial journey and road to becoming chairman at Accrington, who remain one place and point ahead of Sunderland in the League One table, Holt posted on Twitter: "If you're a billionaire the capital grows faster than you can reasonably spend it.
"It needs a home that gives a thrill, not real striving because you can't lose your principal sum. Football is a perfect home for the free money tree's gains. I can't argue with the sale of Sunderland and wish them all the best.
"They are a massive club and will definitely be back in the Premier League soon with the backing they now have. If you're not a billionaire, you can't play up there now. You're going to be squeezed out."
