1 00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:08,258 Sunderland's chairman, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, 2 00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:11,928 has revealed that he doesn't hold the majority of the club's shares. 3 00:00:11,928 --> 00:00:16,975 {\an8}What was believed to be a takeover has turned out to be a makeover. 4 00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:20,478 It means we've been lied to, we've been misled. It's just shocking. 5 00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:23,815 {\an8}What's going on? It's just a big mystery. 6 00:00:30,071 --> 00:00:32,824 {\an8}If there's uncertainty at the ownership level, 7 00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:36,578 {\an8}it filters down through the organization to all departments. 8 00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:40,665 What the football club desperately needs is for some stability. 9 00:00:40,665 --> 00:00:42,083 How are you? All good? 10 00:00:42,083 --> 00:00:45,003 When I came to the club, the takeover was very complicated 11 00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:47,630 because there were multiple shareholders involved. 12 00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:51,050 The deal we struck was that I become the controlling shareholder, 13 00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,344 but not the majority shareholder of the club, 14 00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:56,431 which is probably where the confusion came from. 15 00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:58,349 - How are you? - All good. All good. 16 00:00:58,349 --> 00:00:59,559 How is everything going? 17 00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:03,313 I have the most seats on the board and full executive control. 18 00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:06,566 So this is what was a condition for me to do the deal, 19 00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:09,277 and this is what was the case from day one, 20 00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:12,489 but ultimately, was never meant to mislead anyone. 21 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,577 Yeah, I understand completely where the skepticism from the fans comes from, 22 00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:19,162 with all the history of the club, 23 00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:22,624 but I think priority for now is to focus on the pitch, 24 00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,502 and all of the other things can sort out in due course. 25 00:01:26,669 --> 00:01:28,671 I think that most people in my position 26 00:01:28,671 --> 00:01:31,633 wouldn't choose to, you know, move to the Northeast 27 00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:34,677 and get involved in a football club, especially in the third tier, 28 00:01:34,677 --> 00:01:38,598 because it's not as glamorous as the Premier League. 29 00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,184 But to me, it was a very intrinsic choice. 30 00:01:41,184 --> 00:01:44,354 I've always had football at the forefront of my life. 31 00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:46,898 - This looks amazing. - All state-of-the-art. 32 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,944 My dad bought Marseille more or less 33 00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,404 right around the time when I was born... 34 00:01:57,367 --> 00:02:00,537 ...so I really-- My first memories, my first childhood pictures 35 00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:03,373 were of me wearing the Marseille kits. 36 00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:08,628 It was extremely, extremely exciting, 37 00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:12,298 because you have a big, passionate football club, similar to Sunderland, 38 00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:16,344 where the people really live and breathe the football club. 39 00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:18,304 There's only one team. 40 00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:25,019 I really felt this excitement. 41 00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:30,608 I think I was really privileged, more than anything else, 42 00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:33,653 to... to be involved at such a young age and... 43 00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:37,532 You know, I spent my summer there when I was 14. 44 00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:40,118 I lived on the academy. 45 00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:42,412 We still had Didier Deschamps as the coach, 46 00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:44,581 who is now the French national team manager. 47 00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,377 I had a lot of good mentors, 48 00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:53,131 a lot of good, um, good CEOs we had over the years there, 49 00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:55,884 that I could really learn a lot from. 50 00:02:57,051 --> 00:02:59,512 Something that I love about professional sport, 51 00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:02,473 I think the relentless pressure is something I really enjoy. 52 00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:06,895 Welcome back to the Stadium of Light. 53 00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,439 This is a game, there's no excuses not to win it, are there? 54 00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:12,525 {\an8}If you look at the table, it's ever so tight, 55 00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:17,113 {\an8}and Sunderland can't take for granted that they'll finish in that top six. 56 00:03:17,113 --> 00:03:20,200 Roberts in the 85th minute now. 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,745 Clarke again.

Cirkin now. 63 00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:41,262 Running into the penalty area on the left-hand side. 64 00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:44,182 - Chips one into the middle.

I think they're in the mix, 76 00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:21,469 but Sheffield Wednesday have games in hand. 77 00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:23,346 They're the ones you're looking at, thinking, 78 00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:25,640 "Can it get back to where it wants to be?" 79 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,226 And what a moment that is. 80 00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:29,310 Barry Bannan. 81 00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:33,856 {\an8}The door to the playoff places has opened once again, 82 00:04:33,856 --> 00:04:36,317 {\an8}and Sheffield Wednesday have walked right through it. 83 00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:40,238 More than half the sides in that division 84 00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:43,700 do not know which league they'll be playing in next season. 85 00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,704 Everybody's saying, "Oh, we need six points." 86 00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:51,207 And we do need six points.
