Fuck me he looks like a serial killer

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

Prehab is sounding very excited over the road

Read into that what you will

 

[resinlegs]

Some on here will be taken in by this shit

Jesus wept

This bit's canny:

'Louis-Dreyfus is Harvard University educated and previously sat on the board at Marseille, he is believed to have a credible array of contacts across European football.'

Sat on the board? They sold the shares 4 years ago he would have been 18!

 

[FReaK]

Be a deal to buy Donald and Charlies shares upon promotion to championship or Prem, fixed amount

f***ing better be. Hanging around like a bad smell desperate for their pay off. The sooner they fuck off the better.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Aye we will be a feeding ground for Marseilles youths and they’ll snaffle our decent talent(not an issue for the foreseeable) up in return.

why does it feel like it could be canny but it’s just going to be a different colour and smell of shite? Oh yeah it’s us!

Too many let downs over too many years mate. It's become a Sunderland fan's nature to expect failure unfortunately.

Think it's got more to do with the year of shit he's had thrown at him rather than the takeover, but it'll be interesting to see what else is to come.

 

[SAFCftm1986]

Seems a little underwhelming. Wonder why the yanks backed out

 

[genewolf]

Nice one Kyril

 

[darius]

Claret and croissants at half time?

Surely a light white wine would be better with croissants?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

That shareholding is made up?

It's assuming no changes to Sartori's shareholding. It could just easily involve Sartori transferring his shares into a new consortium vehicle co-owned by him, K L-D and a couple of others, which would give:

Newco (for want of a better word), probably based somewhere like Luxembourg (see Joey Saputo's ownership structure for Bologna): 79%
Donald:15% (down from 74%)
Methven: 6% (unchanged)

This wold have the advantage of a single shareholder with more then 75% of the shares, giving total control of all shareholder resolutions.

 

[Mboma]

£££££££££££££ might talk?

I wrote that before seeing the news of our new owners. It certainly changes things a bit although the wage cap is still there and I think we reached it due to buying Graham and O'brien ha!

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Do we know he’s leading it? Seems to be the young lad who has the money?

That's what it says in the Guardian, and is also what SSN are saying.

 

[offmenut]

His mam was 53 when she had him and his brother

I think you need to read it again!
She had twin girls at 53 in 2016.

 

[JAZMAN2]

Maybe the one american all the time was Juan

 

[Hannover96Mackem]

Sat on the board? They sold the shares 4 years ago he would have been 18!

And presumably studying in Harvard. Reminds me of the Pitt the Younger episode of blackadder.

 

[cowan86]

Sure I’m psychic bought two croissants from Lidl before the news broke!

 

[ir35]

Only on here could be people be unhappy with this development.

 

[wigwams]

If they have..

 

[Why sack Durban]

Do we know he’s leading it? Seems to be the young lad who has the money?

The pre report we are following suggests that
