Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

Not open for further replies.
I dint think donald can make money from current positon. Money owed out to investors - sartori / americans. Imo he's not avle to dictate how this pans out as the timer is ru ning out on him financially
I definitely agree the timer is running out mate. But I still don't believe he's given up hope of retaining a minority stake in the club which would potentially allow him to see a profit which hr somehow feels he deserves. I think if he was happy to relinquish his full stake this would have gone through by now.
 

I have no idea wtf is going on any more, about an hour ago I thought Donald was fucked because FPP wanted the money back if he sells and he is losing £1 million a month. Now people chuntering on about him applying for the second stage loan and f***ing up our transfers in January, just thought about that, he will never do that, it would reduce his selling price. I suspect good old Stewie is perspiring a little at the moment. Good :) :) :)

The only thing I'm really confident of is that he will choose whichever option suits him the most regardless of how that decision will impact the club.

How sound do you consider Donald’s judgement to be?

There’s every chance he will have watched that game yesterday and thought ‘we can go up. We don’t need anyone else in. I can take the bailout money which will fund the losses until fans are back in and then sell the club in the Championship for a higher price.’

Absolutely. The buyer is in complete control of the deal. Theres no one else wants us!!!!

Or dreyfus has positioned himself as the only person willing to buy the club and now has stewie by the short and curlies. Billionaires dont pay the going rate for anything in business. Its strong negotiating by dreyfus imo

I think we all hope that is the case mate. Suppose only time will tell. I just hope dreyfus doesn't get fed up of it dragging on and pulls out. That would be a disaster.
 
surely JS is pivotal in all this, he is after all on the SAFC board, so decisions being made now will have to have his approval, but he's also in bed with KLD . He will know the current state of the clubs finances, and how long SD can continue his game of bluff, whilst keeping KLD updated on the state of play. I can't see a way out of this for SD that doesn't cost him a lot of money. Maybe he has to take the path that loses him the least. Lets hope that is a complete sell-up and gone forever.
 
Nixon “The person can do the directors and owners test. Doesn’t mean he has to do the deal if he doesn’t agree with the numbers.”

Reading between the lines of his tweets he doesn’t sound convinced anything is agreed imo

Why send it to the EFL if you don't agree with the terms.

I just had a vision of Jim Bowen holding up the fat cheque that SD would have got if last summer's deal had gone through and him saying, "Here's what you could have had, you greedy little toe-rag!"

As happy as I am with the 2 new appointments and the last 2 performances, I can't fully enjoy it. With all this takeover stuff is making me uneasy. The stuff over the weekend was disgraceful. Donald looking for a bigger bail out and saying we are facing administration. Then Rodwell tells the press he did say that but we aren't facing administration. So they are lying again!

I won't be happy until Donald, Methven and Rodwell are gone for good. They are rank losers. I said it yesterday, SD thinks he's a business mastermind and knows more about football than the average man. But in fact he's a terrible gambler. And like all terrible gamblers, he'll tell you all about the big winner he got but never mentions the dozens of losses he had.

Until he's gone the club will not move forward regardless who we appoint.

Perhaps because its not a takeover in the sense we all think of as a takeover but some complicated arrangement for peter to borrow of paul to pay off Dave is x happens and as long as and only if z occurs or some claptrap like that.They are probably seeking efl advice on what they can get away with and the fpp load/investment must be complicating matters if the new folk cannot pay it off in one go.To be honest i dont trust Rodders one inch as anybody who spends time in bob the mads company must have something wrong with their heeds.
 
No reason why KLD couldn't be getting his personal clearance in place while everything else is finalised. The EFL will already have reviewed the club's 20/21 budget for FFP purposes, so any changes consequent to a takeover would fall under routine monitoring.


No. Everything was legal. Where you stand on it is a moral issue, not a legal one.
So totally ripped off
 
listen mate, at some point we either believe what some people say ( in this case Rodwell ) or we just don't discuss anything on forums like this. So you believe whatever you want, and I'll do the same.
Look at his history mate , involved with clubs that go tits up , he says anything to keep the fans thinking all is under control
 
Rodwell mentioned in his statement regarding the takeover...'its not all particularly cloaks and daggers'......well sorry Jim but that has been the problem of the last 12+ months, that's exactly what it has been between SD, the club and the fans. Thats been the fundamental problem with everything Sunderland..Cloaks, daggers and lies

The irony is even this interview is cloak and daggers. He uses the complexity as an excuse, whilst saying it’s the biggest he’s dealt with - exactly Jim, it’s complex because you lot are amateurs and don’t know what you’re doing. Likewise he mentions it’s complex because of the ‘various’ loans - yet we’ve been told the only loan is fpp (not various) and if he means the loan Donald has taken from the club then that’s not complicated - just pay it back you little shit.

Rodwell is just Donald’s puppet and anyone that believes otherwise needs to have a rethink (hi Bob).
