Takeover News/Rumours

[The Ghost of Arca]

Hard to not get excited when you see the wealth and what we’ve currently got running the club but in the same breath hard to get too excited cos we’re Sunderland and things don’t usually go our way

One of his Dads companies is worth 36b !!!!

SMB: "Wish they'd hurry up and sell"

*Donald sells*

SMB: "Nah man, daint sell to them man ffs!"

Getting through the SMB owners and directors test is a far harder task than getting through the EFL one

Like it.

Yep, if you ignore the fact other clubs are collecting points at a better rate than us we'll do better than them.

Eh? Your point makes no sense? No club should be contemplating sacking a manager who is getting more than two points a game. The fact some other teams are doing the same doesn't change that.

I said some teams will drop off.

I think a lot of people are confused because they wanted/expected a 100% takeover, and the fact this lad is 22 is further muddying things.

it is a takeover, and he’s a billionaire.

Billionaires can sack peasant managers so I’m in.

Lad's related to Julia louis-Dreyfus...Elaine from Seinfeld. Bit of a stretch tbf

His Dad Robert and her Dad Gérard were cousins, I think. All descended from Leopold Louis-Dreyfus, and totally minted as a result.
Perhaps these were the people with experience of running a football club that @prehab26 was on about. I doubt whether Madame Julia or Mrs. Sartori spend much time on the actual nuts-and-bolts of running a club, but their consistent appearances in the top European competitions indicates that they might know some people who do. So I for one will settle for that kind of experience.
Ha'way young Kyril!

Is it not just Dreyfus and Sartori?

Happy days by the sounds of it......

Friday the Thirteenth, what could possibly go wrong

 

[magic snood]

Is it not just Dreyfus and Sartori?

Mentions them two but the article says they're involved in a consortium, so may be other people involved too. We also don't know if sartori is increasing his 20% to a greater holding do we?

Is that it?

 

[HarrogateMackem]

How can you not be at least a little bit excited by this? Worried of course, but excited too. Some people will twist on 21.

 

[CornedBeef]

Is.. is it actually happening now?

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

For a League One club currently in a pandemic this is a fantastic outcome. a family worth tens of billions are now our owners and two other people are still to come onboard

Search as i can i cannot see a single negative there

Ah, cheers, I didn't read the story properly

Sources close to the deal expect it to be completed in the next fortnight......

It does sound still too good to be true, but I like it!
