Yeah this is another reason I do not see this at all. I think he'd also be wary of doing business with Sartori and Rybolovlev given their somewhat shady history.

Everything about it feels wrong. Then the random O'brien link in there too, it's like a takeover rumour greatest hits.

This. The rumours take on a life of their own. We’ve now had at least four allegedly plausible takeover theories going the rounds in the last week alone.

I really hope a change is in the offing - the club desperately needs (another) new start but the prospect of multiple hitherto unconnected billionaires joining forces to takeover the club ? Next we’ll be hearing that after watching STID Bill Gates has thrown his life savings into the pot.
 
What relevance does that have like? He'd be controlling shareholder and was willing to be part owner just 12 months ago as part of FPP.

Don't understand how he'd be stupid

Everything can be worked around, but 75% gives him ultimate control of everything without needing consent from other shareholders - unless the specific issue was covered in the shareholders agreement to allow him to make that decision.

Basically, it puts him at a disadvantage and he doesn't need to be, because he could presumably also easily afford Charlie's 6% and that's a problem that never need arise.

I've never heard of minority shareholders blocking business decisions like. I stand to be corrected though

Anybody whose got very rich in Russia under putin is one of his men and probably a gangster...
 
The other two blokes in FPP are long term colleagues and probably friends.
Sartori and the Russian bloke would be strangers. Big difference from Fuhrmans POV.

You have no idea there strangers 😂

Billionaires will socialise in their own bubbles. It's highly likely they are not strangers.

Not many people can afford super yahcts in Monaco.

There's not a hope in hell someone with the wealth of Rybovolev would accept such a minority stake in a football club that he could easily run himself, what is it in for him?
 
That's the rumour. The fact that Fuhrman's bid is way below what Donald wants suggests that this may be a pipe dream.
But there seems to be a board meeting tomorrow so we'll just have to wait and see.
Taking into account the loan he owes to them and the way Donald took the club there may be some wriggle room
I know Fuhrman is a big art collector as is Sartoris FIL (ie both spend £10 mill+ on paintings) - they could well know each other
We could be the most artistic league one club in the North of England. Gerrin
