Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[Hank Scorpio]

Thing is mate ,ive got a feeling we have been led up the garden path over takeover.If the new owners are rich ,really nobody is out of reach cos money talks.Yet the managers being mentioned like Cook and Cowleys are stewy type appointments.Just hope I'm wrong .

Must admit mate, I’m having doubts as well. Although I think we all agree that William Storey is a chancer, I do wonder if the owners have received other offers but turned them down as they want stay on and sell in the Championship.

Might be a few years before they sell if we have to be in the Championship then.

Thing is though mate, the league we are in is utter shite. Two wins and suddenly you are back in the play off mix and a decent run you are looking at the automatic spots.

Totally agree the league is awful, but don’t know if you noticed we are terrible as well.

Could be the end of Bally’s involvement with this club this. They hated each other don’t they? I know Bally’s son has been quite vocal on Twitter in the past about Poyet.

Bally becoming DOF is probably what made Poyet change his mind

No odds available at all from Skybet on new manager. Strange.

Nowt on Betfair now either

Did Poyet change his mind? It seemed to me somebody started a rumour he was at the club to sign and it went viral. He then had a duty of care to state his non-interest. Surely it was never on the cards.

It was virtually signed man.

They’re here for a while then ! The irony is the more influence they have the longer we will wallow in L1

How, I missed yesterday’s events? All I saw was Keith Donnie tweeting he wasn’t interested.

Not sure of your social media presence etc but it was obviously pretty much done. Club tweeting hints, journos posting cup final team sheets, the usual ITKs on here were saying its done.

Something obviously happened. Probably Methven or Donald fucked it.

Poyet's son retweeted @MackeminGlasgow agreeing that it didn't break down because of financial reasons. Not sure which thread it was shared on.

Hank they are almost certainly staying on in a vain attempt to recuperate their losses. I’m not sure how many millions Donald is in the red on Sunderland but selling now would crystallise his losses.

If he can get the cost base to a point the club is not losing money he can then take an annual dividend which is probably more than the interest his original capital outlay would have received in the bank.

The “take over” seems to be a mechanism to get extra working capital into the business because it continues to lose money and no other financing options are available but to dilute his ownership. That or administration and lose the lot.

Honesty, thinking pragmatically about it this is what is happening. It is not a takeover and plenty of people at close hand have said as much.

Can't help thinking the club tweet had nothing to do with Poyet, surely the social media team wouldn't be told until it was done?

Just hoping it’s not to do with the actual takeover itself and something spooked him. Can’t be L1 or the SpD. He’d have known about those. If not financials?

Seems to be a few suggestions by other posters that it might be to do with SpD and Poyet not having total control.

 

[Ghandi Floss]

Your original post is in the locked thread so I can't quote it @Ghandi Floss, but have RAWA heard back from the club regarding the request for either a formal update or the rearranged meeting?

I’ll try and find out, mate.

 

[Left For Dead]

It's always likely with Donald at the helm isn't it.

It feels like it right now but you never know ..I cant see Dreyfus picking cowley like, another distant silent investor perhaps?

Last night was the most unmotivated team ever....perhaps they feel let down by owners as well. There will be utter hell on if this continues like. I ain't believing anything more till its official.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

I’ll try and find out, mate.

No doubt the owners will keep dragging out the same line until at least the end of the transfer window

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

What’s times the announcements today lads.

Can’t wait for the news, will we be buzzing or underwhelmed.

I think we all know
