RRP: TFT or not TFT - The SAFC ownership saga continues w/ Sky Sports’ Tom White!

from Roker Rapport Podcast

Aye, it’s all kicked off again. After a few weeks of elation, the minority shareholders at the club have decided to accept a bid from a crypto group by the name of TFT, and chaos/panic/rage has once again gripped Sunlun social media. So Rich sat down with our friend and fellow supporter Tom White - who broke the news on Twitter about the deal - to get his thoughts on it all... particularly the difficulties surrounding releasing information to his fellow fans without us suffering a collective nervous breakdown. What’s the crack? Well that’s the crack there. Not Charlie washing up his stash of Columbia’s finest... but instead himself and Stewart Donald have apparently accepted a bid for their 39% stake in Sunderland AFC from a group heavily involved in cryptocurrency. Aye. How did Tom come by the news, and what does he know about the deal as it stands?  What do we make of the statement released by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus about the news?  Is it possible to disclose information *as a journalist* without running the gauntlet of fan outrage?  How is Tom feeling about it all, and the reaction he’s had personally to... doing his job?  What does Rich - who has been speaking to people familiar with this group extensively - feel about the possibility of a sale to these people?  Are we looking forward to talking about the footy again? I know I am... All this and more! Don’t shoot the messenger lads and lasses.  #SAFC #EFL #Championship #TomWhite #TFT Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
