Unusual takeover by a Consortium at St Etienne

[mrw072]

I'm managing St Etienne at the moment and the owner had been looking to sell the club for a while, so I was hoping a Tycoon might appear on the horizon.  Unfortunately for me (or so I thought) I was going to land another bog standard consortium takeover.

But this one was quite interesting because when the takeover went through the new owner introduced himself by saying that he's going to pump £6million into the youth system, buy the Stadium so we can grow bigger, but most interesting of all - as part of his takeover campaign bring two (relatively speaking) top strikers to the club, using his own money.  So we're signing Terem Moffi from Lorient for £6m and Tyrese Campbell from Stoke for £6m.  And that means i've still got my full transfer budget left.

When I googled the owners name it seems in real life he's an entrepreneur who owns Reggina in Italy and is trying to take them into Serie A.  So I could be in for an interesting season ahead.  I hope.
