People are getting confused of the share allocation, Madrox own 100% of Sunderland, SD owns 74% of Madrox, Sartori owns 20% of Madrox and CM owns 6% of Madrox.

The new (alleged) share distribution of Madrox is going to be, SD with 15% of Madrox, CM with 5% of Madrox and (a new consortium with a new holding company) with 80% share of Madrox. The new consortium company will have a 50% share holding split between Sartori and KLD

Madrox will still own 100% of Sunderland

So we have to pray KLD and Sartori remain civil and on the same track, if not we will in effect have no majority owner.

Lets hope so, but lets not forget that the controlling company with the 80% share has been mooted as open for more investment from other parties, Sartori and KLD have very rich families behind them who already own or have share value in other clubs.
 
We all don’t like Donald and cm the only way the would fully go is if Someone offered them the money the would make if we were in the champ/ prem, no one is going to do that,

so the only way for Donald and cm to make profit is for are club to be successful, so even though I can’t stand them, I hope the make the profit the want because it’s means are club is back where it belongs
 
I am aware that Poyet has said he doesn’t fancy it, but has Schwartz dropped out as well or said anything about it?
As far as I’m aware nothing after the news about Poyet. Just speculation about the new manager. Seems the Poyet decision has been a bit of a shock Hopefully they are taking time to take stock The manager and DOF are important but personally I’d like to see the takeover get over the line until that happens they will be all kind a of ****e and speculation flying around

Agreed. Not fussed about Donald being a minority shareholder tbh. If we're successful and hes just along for the ride.

Any sign of any changes happening before Wigan or are we stuck with Taylor aka Parkys ghost?

Yep,that's where I am with this too.
 
People also need to shake this idea that Rodwell, Methven, Donald and Sartori continued involvement means failure guaranteed. Let’s say worst case, that the sceptics are right and KLD will have no say, just provide the cash and let Rodwell and Methven run the show.

They ALL want us in the premier league as quickly as possible. They’re not hear to make sure we fail, which would be wasting their time and financial investment (no matter how small).

Before they had no money to get us there, so had to either make decisions themselves or hire cheap people to make decisions for them.

Now there is money and they can hire experienced and dedicated people to make those decisions. And it’s not their money they’d now be spending - so they’re less likely to be frugle of it.

Experience suggests they will probably be incapable of appointing the "right" people, regardless of the amount of money available. I wouldn't trust them with any of my money.

They have demonstrated an incredibly crass and cavalier attitude to the club and its supporters.
 
I wonder if the new manager will be someone totally left field. Dave Jones has previous at oxford with Pep Clotet and nearly Craig Bellamy.
IF Schwarz is involved possibly Ljungberg? Or maybe Zenden? Zenden played for us and Marseille, been an assistant at Chelsea and PSV. Think he was youth team coach aswell.

Surely if it was one at the top of the betting they would be in by today?!?!

A Zenden appointment would be another of those left field, take a gamble but get the fans onside, type of appointment. He’s done a decent spell learning the ropes and he’s an intelligent bloke with a cracking playing career behind him. I’d like it, but I don’t think it’d happen.

I loved that kid.

Any takeover announcements today then?

@Prehab26 had heard there'd be some sort of news yesterday, which didn't materialise. And has hinted this morning that something may happen today "wait by you bed" (I don't fully understand that saying mind!)

That's not to say any of it is about the takeover. It might be, or it might just be manager? And it might not happen at all if things don't go to plan.

I'd be really surprised if nothing at all happened today, even if that was just another strong rumour / piece coming from the media.
