No leaks mate. Been a million posts on 2 message boards over the last 4 months and still no hard facts of people involved and % owned.

unless you call little snippets from a few lads that they’ve got 3rd/4th hand a leak.
Do you mean from KLD and Sartori? Aye I can see how that might be tight. But there's definitely leaks coming from somewhere.

Bit unfair that tbh mate, Prehab, Magnus and Wheatsheaf posted a fair bit of interesting stuff.

Some of it was before anyone else mentioned it including the fact that Sartori would take a greater role.

The share percentages may have been wrong but, tbf, we still don't know what they are.

Whatever the case it's been a great thread and kept people entertained.

The alternative is for no one to make any comments until the club makes a statement and everything is known.

I'd say, with all things considered, it's been a good thread.

Entertaining and informative, also exposed some supposedly ITKs, e.g. @NQD

The negative people always seem to vanish when they're proven wrong ...

... but would've been straight back on to say 'I told you so' if the takeover had failed as they predicted.

I always admit when I'm wrong because I'm not trying to make a name for myself.

I was wrong about FPP and said so, even though everyone now accepts they thought they'd bought the club at one point.

I wasn’t having a pop Smug, I’m chuffed with the stuff they’ve given us over the months and to be fair to them it looks like it’s going to be there or thereabouts as what they’ve said.

what I was referring to was the fact that no leaks had come from the people involved in the deal. Last year CM leaked to RR & ALS about FPP and it all went tits up but this time it’s different, nowt has been said.

I appreciate the stuff that you, prehab, magnus and wheatsheaf have posted and i apologise to all if my post came across like I didn’t. You’re right mate, it’s a great thread. Don’t know what we’ll do when it’s all complete <laugh>
 
Appointment of SpD, young forward thinking manager and no leaks until takeover all completed can be summed up in one word. Professionalism. Been missing for quite a while around this club.
Dropping hints poyet was coming on safc twitter feed only for it not to happen and then same day loyal kit man been finished. I thought it was a PR disaster myself.

Loyal kit man went months ago mate, furloughed then made redundant weeks back, just put in public domain the other day. Personally I didn’t see anything on the official safc Twitter about poyet. They tweeted ‘back’ when showing McGeady clips but saw nothing about Gus.
 
He was finished weeks before I think
mate. Still a disgrace of course.
I agree, a damn disgrace. Not sure what they got from that tbh given he wouldn’t be on a big salary. Just made them look like the arseholes they are. Maybe the new group could reinstate him? Would go along way to getting the fans back onside.

Gotcha mate, now that you've explained I can see it clearly <laugh>
 
This sounds like what one or two others have alluded to.

Sartori and KLD would own 50% each of a new company and that new company buys the 80% of shares not owned by Donald & Methven. Therefore the makeup is
Newco 80%
Donald 15%
Methven 5%

Donald and Methven have no say what happens with the Newco which now owns 80% of the club.

To me this is better than the other scenario of Sartori and KLD having 40% each and Donald and Methven having their 15% and 5%.

But Sartori is in Donald and Methvens pocket. That’s my worry with this.

I would love to be proven wrong.
 
How do we know this? He came in with them, and has been very noticeable in absence - and lack of interest in us. He has done and said nothing to show us he isn’t just a wealthier version of them.
Bringing Louis-Dreyfus in to take the club off their hands suggests to me he's very interested and wants to make a change.

Not ITK or owt but I've got to agree with Smug, I get the impression he's not in with at least Donald anyway anymore. If you remember when they first took over, it was all about what Sartori was gonna bring to the club and nothing materialised. If memory serves me right I don't even think he was sitting with them at Wembley but that could be totally innocent. There was a rumour that there has been a falling out amongst them and maybe that's why Sartori had been spending his time back in Uruguay. But I do get the impression that he's in with KLD - you wouldn't increase your stake just to do the dynamic duos bidding with at least one of them getting a pay off for it

If he's still going to be in Donald and Methvens pocket why would be put all that extra money in which goes straight into Donald's pocket?
