As stated above mate. He's 60. Man City will have a five year plan like most companies. It's not that far fetched that he could be recieving some form of handshake in the very near future. Whether he come here or goes elsewhere is another matter. Or he could retire altogether.
So he is set for life and he would come to a 3rd Division club for peanuts? How much would Stewie be offering? £100k a year?
 
Supposed to be a big mate of ES and a Sunderland fan, sold us a kiddy fiddler and the laziest man in football, Yeh Thanks Brian 👍
I bet you weren't saying that when either of them signed. Johnson was a great signing for us. Defoe aside, probably the last player of class we had.

I don't think Stewie will be in the position to be offering any fucker anything mate ;)

I mean one explanation for the 'serious money' behind our new owner would be that Sartori has a lot and has access to more.

But this isn't entirely about money, it's about people wanting to be here, do the right thing, take bold steps and get us promoted etc. If he can do those things we'd be happy. If he can't or doesn't, we will be angry at this deal in future if it feels like a Donald-run operation.

So if Sartori is coming in, he needs to change the culture ASAP. One way would be to bring in a big name. I doubt it's Marwood personally but anyone with credible football experience would be a start.

Oh, and I do think again the absolute f***ing gall of these lads doing it the day after the window shuts. Again, the signs have always pointed towards something a bit more underwhelming than magnus's fabled dream team of FPP-Sartori-Rybolovlev-MSD-O'brien.

I think we'll see:

Sartori majority
Donald around 20-30%
Methven 6%
FPP loan continues or paid off

I actually was totally against Rodwell as always thought he was garbage and there were problems with AJ at city, little doubt about that.

lol I agree with that bit of speculation it will be one of them

i suppose thinking about it it could be converted into shares, but let’s see what happens over next few weeks

Why how much money could we have spent in this window

The club he supposedly supports mind. I think him coming is entering the realms of fantasy though, I personally can’t see it but would massively welcome it.

For me, the most important thing is for the next owners to be competent. I’d take competence over wealth any day.

Yeah the reason I've said that is very specifically because we were told Furhman would take 74%. Those aren't the only two options.
 
Anyone get primo McMenemy vibes off the marwood suggestion? I dunno, it could well be a cushy retirement number. I’d rather we got ones on their way up rather than in their twilight. Would prefer to try to parallel Brighton when they went and got Dan Ashworth. Someone with more road left in their career - with fresh ideas and an innovative outlook. I’m sick of watching us recruit players who used to be famous that the club hope have enough juice left to be relevant. Concerns me that the same thinking will be present when we set up a structure for football operations.

Edit: Of course, anything is an improvement on complete dopes like Donald, Hill and Methven, mind.

So, as it stands, we have a rumour, that Sartori has increased his shareholding? Is that it?
Well the big thing is that Donald no longer has controlling interest in the club if the rumours are true, and I, for one, think that’s a good thing. If satori takes control, he won’t be as hands on as Donald was, so he’ll have to get football people to run it, his personal and family wealth are fairly impressive unlike stewie, who admitted he couldn’t fund us if we were promoted, so all in all if that’s the outcome it’s better than we’ve got now imho.
