So what do we really know about this Louis-Dreyfus bloke?

23 year old
young and enthusiastic with a football team to play with. Who wouldn't want a stadium and academy with a solid fan base as start up?

Got serious money behind him
it's reasonable to assume we're gonna get some very decent players this Summer. The current players may be responding to this, given our surge in form as competition for the first team is sure to hot up in the new season.

Swiss-French
Would we want another American, a Saudi or Thai for instance

and he grew up with football loving Marseilles as family owners

he has also studied sports management

Somebody shoot me. What's not to like?
 
Definitely. If the last year has taught me anything, it's that true friends and immediate family are everything.
I'm finally realising that after my wonderful Mam passed away last week. As a family we've been so supportive of one another, and friends I haven't seen for years have been calling and offering help and support.
Look after your family and true friends, it's times like this you finally realise how much they mean.
RIP Mam - love you always x

Someone will find something not to like, so far they've only come up with him being a mummy's boy and young.

The alternatives, like Donald, Campbell, Storey, various consortiums, etc, would be way worse imo.

He’s got an MBA from Harvard which suggest to me he’s clever himself. Don’t think his country of origin has any reflection on how ‘good’ he’ll be. Also don’t think we’re shoe-ins to buy very decent players in the Summer, since emphasis seems to be on the academy. Y’never know tho.
 
All of a sudden we look like a professional football club.

I hope Frankie and Danny have the interactive screens that Sky have. Drawing some little arrows and circles around players, pausing and rewinding the play. <laugh>

Looking forward to the next few weeks/months as I think there will be a ton of 'off the field' stuff happening.
 
Interesting that it was tweeted bang on 5pm today and the takeover was bang on 3pm on Thursday. I think Rodwell was bang on 8am Friday as well.

Suggests the club are using scheduled tweets which in itself isn’t that impressive, but it also hints at a “message calendar” / PR plan - to trickle the good news through day by day

I expect based on nothing other than this hunch that Stewart English gets announced tomorrow dead on the hour

Much more of this and the club will be catching up with @RTB's match threads <laugh>
