Sunderland could be on the brink of next investors after Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven accepted a bid to sell their shares, according to reports. Black Cats fan and Sky Sports journalist Tom White claimed the duo were in talks to sell their shares earlier this week, but has since revealed the pair have accepted a bid from unknown buyers.
There has been plenty of unrest surrounding the pairs continued involvement in the club following Kyril Louis-Dreyfus' takeover of the club last year. Supporters felt they had been misled by 'majority' shareholder comments, given the Frenchman only owned 41 per cent of the club.
Both Donald and Methven confirmed they would be happy to sell their shares prior to the club winning promotion back to the Championship. There's little known of the unknown buyers at this stage and the recent revelation does not reveal whether Louis-Dreyfus is increasing his share in the club.
