S.A.F.C. - the future

Anyone fancy a bit of crack about parachute payments? For old times sake

 

OK but only if we can talk about how much Sartori paid for his shares afterwards ....

 

Or where the chief chancer went to buy the sofa with £50m stuck down the back of it?

 

So what do we really know about this Louis-Dreyfus bloke?

23 year old
young and enthusiastic with a football team to play with. Who wouldn't want a stadium and academy with a solid fan base as start up?

Got serious money behind him
it's reasonable to assume we're gonna get some very decent players this Summer. The current players may be responding to this, given our surge in form as competition for the first team is sure to hot up in the new season.

Swiss-French
Would we want another American, a Saudi or Thai for instance

and he grew up with football loving Marseilles as family owners

he has also studied sports management

Somebody shoot me. What's not to like?

 

Good news about them, parachute payments eh?

 

I'm finally realising that after my wonderful Mam passed away last week. As a family we've been so supportive of one another, and friends I haven't seen for years have been calling and offering help and support.
Look after your family and true friends, it's times like this you finally realise how much they mean.
RIP Mam - love you always x

 

Maybe add a bit of parasite crack in after that

 

Someone will find something not to like, so far they've only come up with him being a mummy's boy and young.

The alternatives, like Donald, Campbell, Storey, various consortiums, etc, would be way worse imo.

 

I'm not keen on his glasses, I'm just not sure about them clear frames.

 

Was gonna say his Klopp glasses. lol

 

He’s got an MBA from Harvard which suggest to me he’s clever himself. Don’t think his country of origin has any reflection on how ‘good’ he’ll be. Also don’t think we’re shoe-ins to buy very decent players in the Summer, since emphasis seems to be on the academy. Y’never know tho.

 

All of a sudden we look like a professional football club.

 

It’s awesome that we are now doing stuff that is completely unnecessary but improved the fan experience. Love it.

 

Should be an interesting listen to KLD at half time

 

Exactly mate, no one else will buy a stream because of this ...

... it'll just make the experience better for those who do and add another little piece of the jigsaw.

 

I’ll have to wait until weds morning. Was hoping he’d be on the podcast. Clever way to try to get more stream buys.

 

Here's the link for the article. A good start from KLD and something that gives a little extra to the fans watching

I hope Frankie and Danny have the interactive screens that Sky have. Drawing some little arrows and circles around players, pausing and rewinding the play.

Looking forward to the next few weeks/months as I think there will be a ton of 'off the field' stuff happening.

 

Interesting that it was tweeted bang on 5pm today and the takeover was bang on 3pm on Thursday. I think Rodwell was bang on 8am Friday as well.

Suggests the club are using scheduled tweets which in itself isn’t that impressive, but it also hints at a “message calendar” / PR plan - to trickle the good news through day by day

I expect based on nothing other than this hunch that Stewart English gets announced tomorrow dead on the hour

 

Much more of this and the club will be catching up with @RTB's match threads
