New Sunderland Owner (1 Viewer)

Thought I'd post this, not because it's Sunderland necessarily, but because Stewart Donald has decided to sell his stake to a fucking 22-year old who will become chairman in the new year if the EFL ratify the deal. I get that his Dad used to own Marseille and will probably be a prominent figure but come on... Almost feels like Netflix are writing the script now.

This obsession with Sunderland by some of our fans is getting embarrassing now .

Literally said it's not because it's them, it's because the new guy is basically a kid. Sometimes a story is just interesting

Knowing Donald he probably gambled it away with Will Grigg in a poker hand

It is a long time since Sunderland have had a full house.

Just read another article and found out that his Dad sadly passed away about 11 years ago, so obviously can't offer advice or be the prominent figure I assumed he would be. So yeah, it's just a (very) rich kid buying a football club.

"Following his fathers death in 2009, after a long battle with leukemia, Kyril inherited a third of his fathers fortune. He is estimated to have a trust fund worth more than £2bn that is held by his mother, Margarita Bogdanova- who remains a minority shareholder at Marseille despite selling her majority in 2016.

Kyril's mother is now considered the richest Russian woman on the planet, with Forbes estimating her to be worth $5.6 billion"

Bit weird for them, as they will (rightly) trying to find a way to legally manipulate the FFP rules re: players, wages, etc to ensure promotion. Can't see them making the autos, although play offs are still within reach. Next season, they'll be expecting big time. That said, 2 of the three relegated Championship clubs are likely to be up there or thereabouts (if not all 3)

Still in a trust fund at 22? Can't be trusted!
