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.

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"
