Me, along with all the National newspapers didn't want to let the cat out of the bag, on here. Sorry, mate, you know how it is with this sort of thing.
It's probably worth putting this bit of that link up . . . . please log in to view this image That's Margarita (Cyril's mam, looking alright for 58)
Cheers Smug, do you think some of the delay in all this could have revolved around the payment of the loan. It's not clear who has paid it, sure GOM will know when final figures are issued and hope it shows SD, CM, and JS have paid it.
Good read... didn’t know this: “Margarita’s son Kyril, who has a twin brother Maurice, took to football in his youth. He did work experience at Marseilles’ training ground and in 2017 began a degree in football at the Leeds Beckett Headingley Campus.”
It says the takeover should be complete by the time we play Plymouth, which is Tuesday 19th, so a week tomorrow.
tbh having read it twice now, I reckon I could have written that Times article. there's absolutely nothing new in there that you wouldn't have gleaned reading these forums
I don't want to appear Smug but there seems to be a bit of padding in the Times article. If the EFL haven't approved KLD there's no way he'll have sent a cheque off for £10m imo. However, I was told the EFL approved it last Wednesday in which case the loan can be paid off. Whatever the case this is all great news.
tbf The Times article doesn't say KLD paid it - just that it will be paid as part of the transaction. It doesn't say if that will be by KLD or SD. It reads a lot like educated guesswork rather than the output of fresh investigation.
Yeah but don't forget his step dad who is vice chairman of Blackrock an investment fund which managed assets worth over 7 Trillion
