Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

[KittenMittens]

Does Speakman report to Rodwell/whoever replaces him as CEO, or vice versa? That will be an interesting thing to find out. I would always say the CEO had seniority () but maybe they have other ideas of structure.

Depends on how you structure the various boards. Rodwell is only a director of SAFC, and thus, presumably, reports to the directors of Sunderland Ltd.

Just dawned on me that methven and Donald are on record saying it was never about making money and was all about the football challenge but they’re about to sell to the party that are letting them keep a stake so they can make a quick buck down the line.

Says it all really, hopefully the pressure is still piled on them after the takeover.

It was always about the money - they were hardly going to go on the WMS podcast and say “we’ll get the club promoted in a year and sel for a massive profit” where they?

Yep - and presumably Speakman will be Sporting or Technical Director of SAFC too and report to the same directors? That would be the most logical path, which will go through Rodders/replacement surely?

Absolutely. They were offended when people even floated the suggestion at them though

In the last month, I've gone from being optimistic to pessimistic, now I really think this is not going to happen, I fear it's just like them up the road.

Well, it's all rather interesting isn't it. A takeover is "imminent" according many reports. But yet, here we are going into week three. Some 22yr old rich kid becoming an owner, does that sound right to tyou? The ITK's all over it.

Given that Donald and Methven have been "ran out of town" that only leaves Sartori. A man that has loads of money, but was seen at the ground...once? You can't expect anything from these gunts. Mr Sartori is not, a Sunderland fan.

This supposed takeover should have been done weeks ago. It's a bunch of rich gunts fannying about and moving the goalposts. Thtat's ALL this is about.

A f***ing 22 yr old billionaire persuaded to invest in Sunderland? Or whatever it is. Storey.....this is a disgrace man!

SpD please. You'll have people thinking Donald is involved

Donald and CM will only have 20%, satori and the other 1 will have 80% between them, thats a massive change from what it is now

Think some people are struggling to differentiate between Sporting Director, Director of Football and Technical Director.

And he never admitted he planned to get us promoted and flip us for a massive profit?

Not entirely surprising, given that all the definitions are nebulous and seem to be flexible according the ethos of the club concerned.

Was actually the day we appointed Ross and thought we were just speaking to the manager. But Donald wanted to speak too. Maybe we should have asked him and saved us all the stress!
