S.A.F.C. - the future

[resinlegs]

See, I do think Donald is a bad guy. He’s lied pretty much constantly for 2.5 years about a variety of things. I can kind of accept bad decisions being made, people make mistakes and some are simply out of their depth but mean well. However, he’s made numerous things up about us as supporters. That’s not just being bad at his job, that’s trying to deflect his failings onto us.

Methven is even worse, he’s a slimy, arrogant ****er to boot. I wanted them both to leave the club having lost a fortune

Fair enough. Agree on Methven, he’s treated the fans with contempt and should go. Just think it’s a shame how it went with Donald. He was so far out of his depth that he ended up a villain. Don’t think it had to go that way but unfortunately it did.

FFS...give it a chance man.

FFS... I am.

Sunderland refusing to comment

Interestingly - Alan Nixon said months and months and months ago that the takeover was just going to Sartori and his mates taking more control with Methven and Donald less.

Everyone assumed Rybovolev. Perhaps Nixon was right all along. It's then semantics as to whether it's a takeover or not. I say it is

Could still be Rybovolev if it’s more than 1 new lad coming in like @Magnus has alluded to.

The guardian says a consortium led by sartori and him surely that points to more people in the background?

Storey as our new mad as a box of frogs chairman - its going to be fun thats for sure

 

[Jme]

3 new lads mate no names but if it is him the other 2 should hopefully be coming out next

maybe its his brothers ..

 

[Southern A]

Just one more thing - this Guardian piece only says that 80% will be owned by the new consortium, 15% by Donald and 5% by Methven.

It doesn't say what the split in the new consortium is.

For all we know it's 50% Sartori ; 10% Louis Drefus ; 10% other person A ; 10% other person B.

So hopefully more is revealed soon...

I think most were sucked in by them both to start off with. As you say, it is a great shame how it’s ended. Had we got promoted 1st season and they sold us and made a tidy profit, fair enough. Thank you.

But what they’ve done is unforgivable. And then tried to blame certain parts on the supporters and made up ridiculous stories

I've been openly vocal about my doubts about a takeover being close. If this comes off I'll happily hold my hands up and admit I was wrong about that aspect

 

[Prehab26]

Looks like I was briefed correctly then ha

It's great news. Expect to see alot of info very soon.

 

[sad-eyed prophet]

@Prehab26 knew the identity of the potential new owners so now that this lad has been announced he might be able to tell us who the others are?

Either way I dont understand people being unhappy when this lad is a billionaire on his own, Sartori is almost, if not a billionaire and then there are others in the consortium who are probably super rich. This is great news and we only know part of the story!

Of course,let's see how it develops.

OK - now we've had confirmation this IS the deal @Prehab26 was expecting - I'm absolutely buzzing.

 

[sad-eyed prophet]

FFS... I am.

I was wrong in detecting an air of negativity then.

 

[JonesySAFC]

So we are gonna have links to Monaco and Marseille, we have a rich kid with £2bn in the bank, sartori FIL keeping his Beadie eye on things, a sky sports presenter and mlf at the club a ceo who seems ok, possible links to Uruguay, I couldn’t care less if trotter and salmon pants are clinging onto a potential windfall down the line, just get rid of Howard Wilkinson II

Very very well put young man!

The fact that you knew it was him and are still upbeat about it all gives me confidence like.

The piece does say that Kyril was approached to be the majority shareholder.

His Fatha was excellent in Jaws imo.

Gerrin. H'way the new billionaire. Would have preferred the Don to be gone for good but I'm still on for a brew of Yorkie tea with a nice slice of ginger cake to celebrate.
