Significant investment by FPP has been made

[kildaremackem]

Unless they plan to significantly invest in and completely overhaul the recruitment team and policy then we are still knackered.

thats literally what the article says they are doing..

 

[TheSunderland]

What is this then? No shares. Is it a loan that needs to be repaid?

What are they getting here? Before we get excited, let's wait and see eh

 

[kildaremackem]

Seems an odd deal, what are they getting out of it?

ownership of safc but in a low risj way?

 

[Sleepy]

Significant investment yet the ownership profile remains the same with Donald holding 74% of shares, Methven 6% and Sartori the remaining 20%...

Don't understand how investment works then?

 

[swordfish]

They have invested in the holding company and not directly in to the club thus the ownership and shareholding remains unchanged - basically they have loaned Donald money?

 

[Roker Mackem]

Ten million that should by us a couple of free transfers.

I dont think there'll be much going into transfers above what we were already going to do- from the interview anyway.
League One for a while then build slowly?

 

[scott934]

What do FPP stand to gain from this then? Seems a strange move to put in a lot more than Sartori yet be left with no ownership.

Good, I haven't got twitter so haven't clicked on the link. Hopefully the knackers in that team are sacked immediately..

 

[Venkman]

ownership of safc but in a low risj way?

So say, controlling from the background without their names attached?

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Gonna be one hell of a lot of humble pumpkin pie chomped on here tonight by some.
You know who you are.

We don't Kno the details. It's gone from a takeover to an investment and now sounds like a loan.

Ten million that should by us a couple of free transfers.next level my arse.

[Pacific]

so we've basically tried to pass off what's probably a loan as an investment?

 

[TheSunderland]

yeah a convertibel loan but into madrox not safc..so the debt isnt on safc..i think..

So we have gone from.potentislly richest owners in England to a loan from them

 

[Toothless]

Hope so but really can’t believe they’d give Parkinson the job if significant investment is incoming. Definitely concerned about the decision making at the club with/without money

I cant see things getting better January may be too late

 

[kildaremackem]

So say, controlling from the background without their names attached?

not controlling..they dont have the majortuy-but a lot of influence..

Hoping that this investment is going to go on bringing good knowledgeable footballing people into the club. Big plans on a scouting network and help for Stewart Donald with stuff that's been beyond him in running a big club like ours.
