    It sounds on their end like it's nearing completion, even so, there seems to be a lot of clubs in the North being sold. Wonder why ours isn't...

    What happened to the resistance movement with the Allam out campaign? Is the graffiti now saying Allam in?

    Why would anyone buy a football club?

    Unless you're willing to take the risks go along with the investment you need to make to get your hands on some of that SKY gravy train swag. It's a ****ing terrible investment. You'd have to be thick as **** to buy a football club.

    If they don’t get automatic I’m sure the Sunderland fans will be Jaccusing him of not investing in the team.

    Just seen PB’s article in the Athletic. An overseas group has held talks this season, maybe I missed it but when was this? Guessing it went nowhere.

    Asking price is now down to c.£25m plus Bowen and Maguire cash, according to the article. Still too high.

    Far too high, and not really much lower than earlier then!

    Who in their right mind would buy any football club let alone an overpriced one right now?

    Seems his ideas are a bit bigger than just Sunderland...

    Kyril Louis-Dreyfus looking to buy Sunderland as part of wider multi-club empire
    France Football report that 22-year-old son of former Marseille owners Margarita and Robert Louis-Dreyfus, Kyril, is still in ongoing talks to buy English 3rd division side Sunderland, and might look to also acquire a French club in the near future.

    He is aligned in this venture with 39-year-old Uruguayan politician and businessman Juan Sartori, who also happens to be the son-in-law of AS Monaco owner Dmitri Rybolovlev – to take over this sleeping giant of English football.

    The purchase of Sunderland, should it go through, is part of a wider multi-club plan to build an empire of teams in England, France and Uruguay. At the moment, it is too early to tell the identity of the clubs which they intend to target in France.

    Louis-Dreyfus’ funds are likely to come from the family trust Akira. Due diligence is still being done by Louis-Dreyfus and his intended consortium.
