Total wild speculation here and I'm probably over thinking it but:
Sartori and his FiL taking on 26% between them, isn't that how much Methven owns? Any chance they're "holding" it for him so that he's publicly removed from the club but can still plan on cashing in later if we do well?
The only thing about the proposed deal that makes no sense to me is why Sartori's FiL and GF would want to share ownership when both could just buy it outright.
Sartori already owns 20% of Madrox. Methven owns 6%. The deal suggested only really works if it's for shares in Madrox; splitting up Medrox's shareholding in Sunderland created muiltiple complications, not least the Madrox/FPP debt.
