SUNDERLAND TAKEOVER SAGA TAKES ANOTHER TWIST AS REPUTABLE JOURNALIST DELIVERS UPDATE

The proposed takeover of League One sleeping giants Sunderland doesn’t look set to be concluded anytime soon, as new details have emerged on Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’ terms of the deal.
22-year-old Dreyfus has been in talks to purchase the Black Cats along with current shareholder Juan Sartori for well over a month now, but conformation of the deal has yet to come to fruition.
It had been reported last month that current owner Stewart Donald had agreed a deal in principle with the pair, but it seems as though the terms of the agreement have now shifted.

In the original proposal, Donald would retain 15% of the ownership, and former chief executive Charlie Methven would keep his 5% share of the club.
Dreyfus and Sartori were originally going to halve their proposed 78% share of the club, but now according to Alan Nixon of The Sun, Dreyfus wants a majority.
If Dreyfus wanted to be the majority shareholder, then Sartori’s shares would have to be just 27%, something he may not want to agree to.
Nixon has said that this has caused problems with the takeover, and it now remains to be seen whether or not it will be completed anytime soon.
The Verdict
One man who will be desperate for this saga to be concluded is Lee Johnson, who will want to bolster his squad in the January transfer window.
It makes sense for Dreyfus to want to be the leading man in the boardroom considering he has a trust fund estimated to be valued at £2billion – he could bring some serious money to the table on Wearside.
But there’s no winner in this current scenario. The fans are beginning to lose patience with the saga, the new manager will want it done as soon as possible and neither Donald, nor Dreyfus or Sartori is likely to be happy with the latest developments.

I've just had this message, which I hope is right . . . . "Players and staff have been told today that it’s 100% dotted and done."

This should mean that the announcement is imminent

I think those ITKs post in good faith. So you're either a hopeful or a cynic. When it comes to Sunderland, I'm always a hopeful. Just gives me a better state of being in a glass half full sort of way.

After discussion, Steve (it wasn't just me), you were deservedly banned for being an arse and constant disruption.

What you shouldn't do is bring your grievance over here, mind [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

As far as believing ITKs is concerned, most people do because they do have sources and they're not making it up like you suggest . . . . I certainly wouldn't laugh at them like you are [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

There'll be an announcement sooner than you (probably) think, Steve [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Constant disruption. What absolute rubbish, basically I'm not allowed to disagree with anyone, bet you'd ban me from here now if you could, simply because I'm arguing with your opinion.

I'll let you crack on being a police officer over there though, you clearly enjoy the power.

As for this takeover, I don't believe any itks over there, they've got so much wrong. Many times they've spouted tosh and people fall over themselves to believe what they say.

What happened to a certain itk who said fuhrman was going to take over, with robleyvev fella taking some shares? Didn't happen.

Debate it over there, not on this forum.

I've got the power to do just that here, too, Steve [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I won't though, 'cos you've done nothing to deserve that . . . . being a tit isn't a banning offence [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Please stop derailing this thread, though, 'cos that's not right . . . . and this is the second time that I've mentioned it [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
