Drinks tycoon William Storey claims he will launch a new Sunderland takeover bid following the revelations over the club's ownership structure.
Following months of unanswered questions on the subject, the Black Cats finally confirmed the shareholder split which showed chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus owned just 41% despite his buyout last year.
Madrox trio Stewart Donald, Charlie Methven and Juan Sartori continue to own a combined 59% of the club, and it was an announcement which provoked an inevitably furious reaction from the club's fanbase.
