Sale is close - Barnsey

[Deleted member 7101]

The devil would be in the detail. If no individual has control it could get messy. A lot will depend on the structure above the club. There's a world of difference between 3 people owning a company which owns, say, 60%, and those three as individuals owning 20% each. A larger number of shareholders would force a collegiate approach and a consensus would be needed. It would probably result in slower, but more considered, decisions being made.

Or it could lead to deadlock.

Why is everyone talking as if it is not a takeover now, has there been more information or is this just the current strong gest rumour/gut feeling?

People shitting themselves that it's being done rightly this time and no new information has came out.

News on Sunderland does not abound in Barcelona - but who is this William Storey bloke? Why can't I see anything on here?

50 m £ investment? What's it all about? Bullshit or real?

Just don’t see who is paying £37 million, and don’t see SD dropping his price

Wouldn't want them anywhere near our club tbh. Some things are bigger than football.

Quite refreshing that the skunks have had a taste of what was happening with us last year. They'll be devastated, whereas we are thick skinned to it now.

They get it every year tbf. From Feb/March till July/August there's takeover talks, only for them to fall through. It's guaranteed. Can't even be arsed to take the piss out me mates anymore about it.

What about the brothers?

A possibility, yes. But it used to be the standard model for club ownership until the 1990s.

Think that was JoePublic

That’s the fellow.
