Takeover News/Rumours

[Binxy]

Give over man, it’s only broke this afternoon what do you want a full half hour special?

If it had been Newcastle they'd have ex players on and be interviewing people in the street and you know it.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Though obviously investment is hugely welcomed, its not the clean break we need. Would've much preferred Donald and Methven to have nothing to do with the club anymore...

Maybe hoping for a bit too much there.

I’m in the same boat. Although it looks like they’ll have zero input, they are still involved with the club. I’d rather they were gone full time but it’s something to build on at least.

Correct. Fuck them

 

[wadya]

Underwhelming, sadly. The 3 con men still on board.

We can't progress until they have gone.

Can anybody explain to me if the 3 con men will pay any money back to the club i e parachute payments

 

[Ashley In!!]

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is a very impressive young man who will be very well advised. We owe him our patience and support.

Do you think he'll become a cult hero?

 

[riffraff]

Got the making of a canny team with players who have played for both us and marseille.... Any chance of signing and playing them season

I’m working on it.

 

[Betty Swollocks]

So nobody then. Pleased to nip that in the bud so quickly.

Well done you, good job you’re here.

Next time I post I’ll run it past you first to see if I’ve met with your high standards. Must be with me being new on here that I thought I could generalise to make a point.

Any involvement is too much for me, as whatever they do have 'officially' I reckon a lot will be going through them behind the scenes.

Agreed.

Typo, soz, I meant what a load of shite!

When you look at what Donald and Methvan have done to the club and look at what they have said about our fans it’s perfectly reasonable for fans to be disappointed they remain here in any capacity whatsoever whilst still being able to look forward to new majority ownership and what they could potentially achieve. I’m happy there’s a potential new majority shareholder or shareholders but it doesn’t change the fact I want Donald and Methvan confined to history. The darkest part of the clubs entire history in fact. They’ll forever be a stain on the club and as long as they remain here their smell will still linger irrespective of how little they own or how much influence they ultimately have. The irony is that they are now essentially parasitic. Not long after claiming that about fans.

Spot on. I hope they get the dogs abuse they so richly deserve should they be daft enough to show their face at the sol again

 

[martinlumley]

has anyone sang ' Nice one Kyril' yet?

How does it look like they will have zero input?

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Its been mentioned they won’t have any influence in the running of the club.

I still think they will though.

They've already repaid about £14m. And Sartori, not Louis-Dreyfus, is the lead in the consortium. Any money moving from Madrox to the club that isn't a loan is reinstating the parachute, whether or not the Madrox shareholders change.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Is Parkinson off then or what?

For the guillotine

OFF with his head if we lose tomorrow

And you know that how?

 

[Nelson!]

disagree. I think their only interest at this point is getting the price they wanted down the line once we are promoted. Don’t think they will have any input, people need to stop obsessing about them retaining shares. It means very little in reality.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

They'll have less influence than Sartori does now. I'm reaching the conclusion that this is coming about because Sartori was sick of not being listened to.

Who by?

Why would they still be here? It's a pretty big stake as well if reports are to be believed

where has it come from about Sartori being head of the consortium ?

the kid seems very invested in football so I’d be surprised if he was just a financial backer.

because they can’t get the price they want in league one.

this means they can cash in on remaining shares at a better price once we are a championship/PL club.
