Well that's done it, what's the point of going on, Covid take me now
People on RTG arguing that it's not really a takeover, the Chronicle saying it's not the right kind of takeover and the Echo quoting a list of doom mongers who were straight onto the internet casting doubts about every possible aspect of the deal.
"Here’s
the best of the social media reaction," They proudly boast.
@parkersafc tweeted: “Have 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. Not getting excited yet though. I made that mistake with FPP #safc”
@SpeakSAFC tweeted: “Thoughts? Donald not being the majority shareholder could be huge, but him still owning 15% of his shares and Methven 5% isn’t ideal #SAFC”
@LBarks72 tweeted: “It appears more of an investment than a takeover."
@MorganLowrie tweeted: “An inexperienced 22 year old with $2 billion pound burning a hole in his back pocket in charge of a business with multimillion £ commitments, with next to no income, in an uncertain environment, with Donald & Methven still involved. What could possibly go wrong?”
Over on our SAFC WhatsApp group, one fan simply said: “Heard it all before”
And another added: “I’d question Sartori’s motivation to buy the club, his involvement over the last 2 years has been minimal, what will change now! With Donald still being on board it sounds like it’s more like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic rather than a takeover!”
If Dreyfus was told the Sunderland supporters were fanatical, loyal and enthusiastic I really hope they don't read any of this shyte ...
... I bet there's more optimism and humour in the obituary pages
