After 12 months of obfuscation surrounding the exact composition of the 'ownership group' at Sunderland, this week the fog has cleared.
We now know that Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is the largest single shareholder with a 41 percent stake, while the members of the Madrox group hold the other 59 percent with Stewart Donald owning 34 percent, Juan Sartori 20 percent, and Charlie Methven five percent .
That led to understandable fury from supporters who were under the impression that Louis-Dreyfus held a majority of shares, given that it was announced that he had brought a 'controlling interest' and that he was the 'main shareholder'.
