18 months ago Charlie Methven: “Hey William, do you want to buy Sunderland?” William Storey: “Chazza me old buddy. Of course not. I’m busy building the worlds fastest growing energy drink brand.” Charlie Methven “Hmm. Well in that case we are about to hoodwink the fans and we need somebody to make them realise we’re not the worst, so they’re grateful for whatever happens. Could you act like you want to buy us out?” William Storey: ‘Sure, sounds a fun way to raise my profile and advertise my energy drink.” Charlie Methven: “Awesome thanks. Just keep pretending we aren’t responding to you, so everyone thinks we are on the fans side and not selling to any old idiot.” Last night Charlie Methven: “Hey William, we are under a bit of bother again. Could you remind the fans it could be worse?” William Storey: “Hold my energy drink”
To be honest mate i dont even know anything about him. I just feel depressed and let down with our current regime, so just venting abit. If hes as bad as you say then i take it back.
It's yet to be proven that our current owner has done anything wrong, his hands might have been tied to an extent by the previous owners I suppose we shall find out given time Keep your chin up
The additional focus on this supporter meeting tonight should hopefully ensure at least high level details are leaked tonight, rather than take a while for minutes to be produced etc
I havent even bothered, read loads I wanted to reply to but . . . Yes he is, borderline fruitcake imo
I hope nothing leaks. It's been quite tight from previous meetings until the agreed minutes have been released. This may encourage the club to provide an indication of what may happen that may not be exactly as its recorded in the minutes. If things start leaking the club may be more guarded in what they say and it becomes little more than a talking shop
Whatever happens, I don't have a problem with them attending games, but there are neanderthals out there who might, and I'd worry for their safety. I hope it doesn't get to that extreme.
The ownership,in whatever structure,enjoys unrivalled support in this division,the one above and over half the top division above that. It's almost unique. We don't need leaks,or indications, or things said not exactly as recorded.......or other gobshite......we just need the truth. I'm from Consett,when I moved down south many years ago,I was criticised for my perceived bluntness,but, where I come from,there are no half truths.....it is,or it isn't!
I understand where you are coming from and in the main would agree however there are certain situations where your hands are tied you then have two options, say nothing or indicate what may be happening without dropping yourself in it legally. Unfortunately, or fortunately, not everything is black and white
Equally, on the other hand, you could say that Donald and Sartori have control of the club with their combined shares.
He does not hold a 50.1% share holding controlling interest. He may have control WITH Sartoris holding but then again so could Stewart Donald. .
You can still have a controlling interest without the 50.1%. A controlling interest is when a shareholder holds a majority of a company's voting stock. A shareholder does not have to have majority ownership in a company to have a controlling interest as long as they own a significant portion of its voting shares. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/controllinginterest.asp#:~:text=A controlling interest is when,of a company's voting stock.&text=Having a controlling interest provides,shareholder with a controlling interest. KLD holds a significant portion of shares hence "controlling interest".
We all want KLD to get full control but it looks like the others want championship price for League 1 club, the fans have to help get rid of the chancers by saying whilst you are here the fans will not put money into the club, so accept fair valuation or see your value get less over the next few years and having to provide more funds to keep club treading water. But let KLD know in the long run we will be back providing the club the support to move up the leagues.
Or, on the other hand, is he being used to show the hiding chancers and force them to accept KLD offer?
