Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

There is no point in this guy investing in a third division club to not have main say, it would make no sense surely?
we’ll know something soon enough now I think. If Methven is involved we will have to swallow it especially if he’s in effect brokered deal.
all speculation at this stage pointless bed wetting until facts are revealed

Depends on the structure. If Sartori moved his shares into a company co-owned by him and Louis-Dreyfus, then that company would own 80%. This makes even more sense if, as seems likely, further consortium members will come on board as and when they can get EFL clearance. The assumption people make is that Donald, Methven and Sartori are singing from the same hymn sheet. My own feeling is that they very much aren't. Donald just wants to be as far away as possible while maintaining some skin in the game, Methven thinks he has unfinished business here, and Sartori is probably pissed off beyond recognition at how badly the other two have screwed it up. I'd say it's more likely they're at loggerheads.

What do you think the role of Rodwell would be moving forward if they do bring in a sporting director? He seems to be the man making the football decisions at the moment.
 
Interesting to read Gordon Armstrong's tweets today about the ' alleged ' forthcoming takeover. He doesn't mince his words stating quite clearly that this takeover will ' change nothing ' .
Methuen will still carry out the principal administration role and SD will still provide a prominent role at the club.

Apologies I can't post the tweet, Iam pretty crap at this cyber malarkey but would appreciate if a fellow poster could just add the actual tweet to this thread, cheers.
 
I trust Prehab because he clearly has info and is pretty definitive, sets our expectations (that are then met) etc, and if he's saying we wait a few days, then grand.

What it looks like... I guess we'll find out. I hope Armstrong is wrong.

Don't mind Sartori being more active, don't mind KLD coming on board as a minority rather than majority, but I would be pretty disgusted if they gave Methven anything other than a 'fuck off and enjoy your 5% in silence'.

To be honest I dont believe them tweets unless thos young kid is really stupid, which I dont think he will be, you wouldn't leave sd in charge of running the club after buying a majority. I think he will want to change a few things, with the manager being one.
