Takeover News/Rumours

[Red]

As much as I can't stand SD, he would have been absolutely crazy not to retain shares in the club if he didn't believe these people couldn't take the club forward.

I’m not getting too excited, until Donald and salmon pants still have fucked off for good.

 

[Mackem Tommy]

I think if this is happening and I'm being positive we've gone from a family who owned Eastleigh FC to a family who owned Olympique Marseilles. Definitely a step up.

And even then he's part of a consortium - who else is part of it?

 

[ebb]

I'm just waiting on all the itk saying they knew it but weren't allowed to say

 

[GBSAFC]

Just googled him, most photos of him are at Marseille matches. His Mam is worth 6.4 billion dollars and inherited her wealth from her late husband who died of leukaemia recently.

I honestly don’t know how to feel about this but have to say I’m currently feeling underwhelmed and more than a little disappointed and worried, and pissed that methven and Donald will still be here. Am I alone feeling like this???

Aye its got the potential to be either quite good or a kamikaze mission. Exciting but pretty scary
The wider question that needs addressing is it a consortia of two or more

Your going to have a long wait....

How much football know how are we getting?

I’m sure I read somewhere the new owners were rumoured to be experienced football people with deep pockets.

I see they are loaded but will they know what to do with it?

His Dad owned Marseille, and his mother is still a minority shareholder - between them and Mrs Sartori (chairman of Monaco) there should be a fairly thick contacts book.

Wigan had a young Chairman, Dave Whelan's grandson....didn't go too well.

TBF the chairman will be more important than the owner so as long as we appoint a good chairman/CEO who is left to do their job without interference good times could be coming

A 22 year old and Sartori, what could go wrong?

Basically a UK play thing.

Very Pleased something is happening... 22 year old lad buying the club is a shock, can you imagine your 22 year old self buying safc ? He's a trust fund kid, and would therefore hope is being very well advised

Effectively this kid is related to people who owned Olympique Marseilles and Sartori is related to the owners of Monaco - both slightly bigger than Eastleigh.

 

[East Riding Mackem]

Joint heir to a multi-billion French-Swiss conglomerate - I wonder if we'll be in for Marcus Maddison in January?

Sceptical

 

[Mickdundee]

lots of clubs have shareholders who own a minority in the hope of making money but have no say over how the club is run. That’s what SD and CM are to us now.

This is my thoughts too. They haven’t managed to make the quick buck they thought they would by getting us up straight away so they are riding on the coat tails of a member of one of the richest families in the World to make some cash instead.

 

[Botchie]

They'll keep Rodwell imo.

I suspect this is utter bollocks.

Not with Louise Taylor the journalist reporting it.
