Reports have come in that Santos are on the verge of being taken over. Ever since a controversial decision to issue public stock in 2008, shares have been remained stable between groups of ownership.
After title success in the last season, the club’s profile has raised considerably, prompting in stock share prices.However, it appears that 50% of the shares have been purchased, seemingly by a single entity. The club has remained quiet over the proceedings, refusing media inquiries regarding the ownership transfer. Players and manager alike are confused as to what will happen next. Santos News has 3 possible candidates as to the new owners of Santos FC:
The Russian Mafia: Various oligarchs have taken over sports clubs, from Abramovich with Chelsea, to Prokhorov with the NBA’s New Jersey Nets. One constant is there have always been allegations with their supposed ties with the mob. We think the syndicate are tired of hiding behind a single individual and want the world to know they aren’t typical hitmen who participate in tense affairs involving vodka, rubles, and death threats: they do so while watching football. Says a lower level agent, speaking on anonymity, ‘Santos are like first snowflake that you first taste, before you spray AEK-971 at bad man’
The Illuminati: Conspiracy theorists already claim that The Illuminati have taken over everything from the White House, to Apple Ipods designed to make the world their slaves. Sources say they further want to diversify by going for a top tier football club in a fictional game setting. Well played.
Elton John: After a brief ownership stint with Watford, the singer wants to make a comeback with the Brazilian giants. Plus, he likes the colour yellow.
Stay tuned for further updates.
