Takeover News/Rumours

[sidneyeric]

Just shows it's all about the money, they have no interest in the club just money.

ha’way the bairn, get the bit out young’un

The same Louise Taylor who said that the Saudi takeover at the mags had been approved and signed off? That Louise Taylor?

She is bang on regarding Sunderland.

If this should pan out and happen to be true, I hope all those doubters and those relentlessly criticising will offer their apologies. It just might be the best move anyone has ever made for the club and far better than that swung by Quinny and the consortium. Fingers crossed.

Feels like the time when Brian Potter handed over the Phoenix Club to Jerry St Clair and still called all the shots

Yeah, Prehab said people with football experience?? I could be wrong.

Well, his family used to own Olympique Marseilles.

 

[Oily Oily Oily]

Nowt is happening, nothing to see here!

 

[Super Ted]

Nee point moaning about it if it's him, it's took months to get to this stage.

1. More financial power
2. Donald and Methven no longer able to make key decisions
3. More connections across the footballing world
4. Family has experience running a top level club

Just because he's young doesn't mean he's nee good, he could employ people to run the footballing side of things.

I would rather this than two twats from Eastleigh without a pot to piss in.

 

[Upthere]

It's a takeover if anyone other than Donald holds 50% or more of Madrox.

Can we pin this somehow?

 

[CEF]

Can we send his mam some flowers

She'll probably be receiving threats on twitter from RAWA before the end of next season.

I hope they think this means they can Swan back into the stadium and all is forgiven. In for a shock if they do. I want them gone come what may

Does this mean now the supporters whip round to buy out Donald only needs 6million? Get a just giving page set up!

I bet the deal includes some sort of buy out deal at some point, triggered by either promotion to the championship or the Prem. probably the Prem as that’ll be worth a lot more. Charlie especially in for a bumper pay day seeing as he never paid anything for his 5% in the first place.

Are we all going to chip in for a Happy Meal for our new Overlord?

Be happy. Better than it was this morning.

Plus other takeover thread can gan on holiday.

@Grumpy Old Man any chance there are more people involved. I find it odd they are calling it a consortium when it’s two people with one already owning shares. The fact the guardian have said its a consortium led by these two suggests to me more people.

Don't ask me; exiles like me hear nowt. A consortium would normally be more than two people. However, at a very pedantic level, Madrox would now appear to have at least 4 shareholders - that would be a consortium ownership of Sunderland Ltd via the investment vehicle of Madrox Partners.

 

[Fulwellmackem]

Haway kyril lad.....

 

[lozza]

Let's remember it is a consortium there is more that this name just involved be interesting to see who else is involved, there will be a lot more meat to the bones when the rest of the journalists have done there digging

[Scootsie]

They failed here. They don't deserve profit.
Pair of twats.

Totally agree, but they’ve always been in it for financial gain.
