William Storey has once again waded into the Sunderland takeover debate.
The Rich Energy drink founder was gracious in defeat after the Black Cats announced a deal had been agreed with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus.
The club expected the deal to be given approval from the EFL last month, but the governing body has asked for Louis-Dreyfus backers to provide details of their funding for the next two seasons.
The deal is still expected to go through, with the hold up just a minor snag in proceedings.
Storey took to Twitter after reading the ChronicleLive story reporting on the hold up, saying it was: “Very odd”.
It’s a clear sign that the entrepreneur is keeping a close eye on proceedings at the Stadium of Light.
The 42-year-old has been very vocal throughout the entire takeover process, but had fallen quiet on that front after his takeover attempt failed.
He has remained interested in the club - tweeting about results on a number of occasions and even claims to be a supporter of the Black Cats.
On January 28, Storey tweeted: “I'm a huge supporter now. I respected decision in good faith in December. A couple of decent results pleasing but the transfer window closing soon!?!
"I'm concerned takeover still not ratified and where are signings and investment?”
