Sunderland supporters have been reacting to the news of the club’s ownership restructure this morning that has seen Kyril Louis-Dreyfus become a majority shareholder. Louis-Dreyfus has purchased an extra 10% stake in the Black Cats to take his shares up to 51% and assume more control.
Charlie Methven – who has previously owned a 5% stake in Sunderland – no longer has any, while Stewart Donald has seen his shares decrease dramatically from 34% to 19%. Uruguayan business Juan Sartori has also increased his stake from 20% to 30%.
Following today’s update, Louis-Dreyfus has confirmed there will be no further sale of shares to external parties as he focuses on rebuilding the club both on and off the pitch. Here is how Sunderland supporters have reacted to the news.
