They did stop me posting. You're absolutely correct in saying that. I wish it was just the trolls but unfortunately it wasn't. Some people, I simply didn't expect it from. Doubt there will be an apology.

Thanks for that mate. It's good news. Something we all need.

If i am wrong i will admit im wrong. I just googled to fact check as i was certain i read the consortium was 80%. I cant find it yet off a quick search. However i cannot find the 60% you speak of for the new fella. Infact it says in the echo its unknown what his stake will be. However if we work off the figures i can find, it is SD 15, CN 5 and that is all i found off a quick google. So that would leave 80%. I think we may have both made the leap, me that the the remainder would be between JS and KD, and you the he would just take all of the remaining 60%. However im certain i read the consortium to have 80% somewhere.

Thats just conjecture though. Im not arguing anymore about this until there are more concrete facts. Its just pointless.

Its a full takeover so he has to be getting over 57% or around that for it to be getting classed as that
 
Hopefully this is the kick start we all need to get out club off its arse and start to move in the right direction on all fronts (team, management, academy, business).Would have preferred a clean break from the old guard but the balance of power will have shifted significantly and that's the best news of the day.

as others have said, it's time for all of us to move on as a club.

In its purest form, I have no issue with that. To do that normally you have to restructure a business and place it in a growth (or position to grow) position.
What we witnessed wasn’t that, quite the opposite with the hope that an immediate bounce back would occur. When that didn’t you get where we are, losing to Mansfield in the Cup and in League 1 for the third season in a row.

To be fair they got some things right, got the books balanced as acknowledged by the media suggesting this helped make us buyable again and also potentially saved us from going under. I also think they came initially with the best intentions and actually fell in love with the club.

On the other side I have no doubt you are right, their plan was to go up asap and make an easy profit. I dont particularly have a problem with that but what I do have a problem with is their failures, and their lies.

owner, Stewart Donald, has agreed a deal to sell the club to a consortium led by minority shareholder Juan Sartori and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus - the 22-year-old son of former Marseille owner Robert - but looks set to retain 15% of his shares.

Donald has been actively trying to sell Sunderland since the start of the year and entered into an exclusivity period with an anonymous buyer a few weeks ago. The Guardian can reveal that Sartori - the Uruguayan businessman and politician who currently owns 20% of the club and sits on the board - is behind the move to bring in Louis-Dreyfus having made contact with him six months ago about the possibility of acquiring a majority stake.

It is understood that Donald - who led the consortium that took over the club from American businessman Ellis Short in April 2018 - was keen to retain a portion of his shares, while former chief executive Charlie Methven will also keep hold of his acres worth 5%.
