What’s your problem with successful people?
I have no problem at all Marra.
A genuine question, that nobody seems to know the answer to.
If Donald and Methven were owners, then surely the new owners would have to buy their shares, or a major proportion of them.
So if they are staying on with a minor shareholding, then what did they get in return
Just wondering.
 
Couldnt have been a better day for them. Miami weather, SoL looking class, a win.

Was saying to my mates coming out of the ground that I hope they don't think the weather is always like this! Think we should have had Bruce Springstein and the star spangled banner blasting out before the game, changed strip of red white and blue, 50 gorgeous cheer leaders doing their stuff prior to kick off and that sort of thing etc.

Not our business - what did you make last month?

Probably a salary some shares which if we do become more attractive could have further capital value. Significant kudos with a big American investment vehicle. Could be anything

Money
 
This. Genuinely don’t care how much they earn out of it

Donald has mentioned he’d like to make £15m from Sunderland to counter the £15m he lost at Eastleigh. If he does and we’re in a good position then good on him

He’s not a good business man if that’s the case. He didn’t buy us to break even. Good to luck to him if he makes £Xm out of the deal. He took a chance and it’s worked out for him.

A genuine question from me. Is this type of thing widely known? I mean the cost of business/shares changing hands?

If it is then I'm sure we will find out in due course and if not we won't. Doesn't bother me if they make a fortune but I don't think they will do. I think the big profit will be selling whatever shares they keep now plus any other incentive they probably receiving for running the club going forward.

Seems like Donald has worked hard which is fine for a business you control but he probably need some extra incentive to do the same if he is a minority share holder.

Hopefully a big bag of cash and a slap on the ass.
