The Fans Together investment group issue follow up statement regarding proposed Sunderland buyout

Football ownership group ‘The Fans Together’ have resurfaced after a fortnight of silence regarding their proposed investment in Sunderland. The group reissued a statement on social media amid speculation over their intentions to buy out the shares of Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven.

The duo relieved themselves of the majority ownership when they sold a 41% stake in the club to 25-year-old businessman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, and have since made clear their intentions to offload their final 39% share. And the Cryptocurrency group, which owns Greek Super League 2 side FC Episkopi, have made clear their intention to buyout the pair, much to the derision of many Black Cats fans.

The group were present at Wembley, according to the Athletic , to watch the 2-0 playoff final win against Wycombe Wanderers which won promotion to the Championship, adding that the 39% share that the two own is worth around £11.7 million.
