New Dumbarton owner aims to make club financially stable by 2027
New Dumbarton owner Mario Lapointe believes he can get the club on a stable financial footing within the next two years. A big part of his plans surrounds installing an artificial surface at The Rock and having the stadium in use all year round, including music and comedy festivals. The League Two side are one of the oldest in the country, and twice national champions having won the top-flight title in 1891 and 1892. They are now at the bottom of the SPFL pyramid, having suffered relegation from League One last season. And Lapointe pinpointed that history, as well as the passion for football in the country, as one of the main reasons why he chose to come to Scotland. However, the French-Canadian businessman and musician, who also looked at clubs in England, Ireland, and throughout Europe, has prioritised getting the finances in order to make Dumbarton sustainable for future generations. He said: 'My early goals are finances, because if you don't look at the financial thing, you will not have a club, you were three weeks away from not having a football club here. 'It was very close to not being there, so that is my first goal. 'We don't want to be relegated, of course, nobody ever wants to go down because nobody ever comes back again, statistically it is very hard to come back. 'So we have to make sure we invest in the right places and have a quick return on these things, and that money will then be reinvested in talent. 'Next year, June 2026, is when we will start digging this ground and put turf on it. After a full season on that turf, you get the full revenues, the rental revenues, and you get the new balance on your budget. 'So I believe that by the end of the second season, you should be back to par, meaning you are not standing in the red all the time, you'll have some months in the black, some months in the red, and that's what I see.' Lapointe has been looking to invest in a football club for the last couple of years and spoke to several others before deciding on Dumbarton. He said: 'I was looking at clubs in Scotland, Ireland, England, Spain, and Bulgaria, but Bulgaria was too scary. I don't know if you know the stats that something like 11 owners have been shot in Bulgaria in the last 20 years. 'At the end of it, for the pockets that I have, I was not looking at teams worth £400m. 'In the end, there were Ireland, England, and Scotland. 'Scotland just felt the best option for me with the way I saw the whole thing happening, and that was it. 'You don't realise the passion for football that you have here. And Dumbarton is a resilient club that has had so many different ups and downs over the years. I have spoken to fans with five or six generations of Dumbarton supporters in their family. 'So that was my attraction to this place: it was the heritage, the family values, and the community. I did not expect so many volunteers of this quality, and we have great quality at this club, so from then on the romance starts. 'I come in with positivity and full transparency. For me, there is a lot of potential here, and we just have to do it step by step now.'

Centrica preparing to take 15% stake in Sizewell C nuclear plant, reports say
The boss of the Windsor-based energy group earlier this year said he was 'hopeful' of striking a deal to invest in the facility. The investment would mean Centrica has about the same size stake in Sizewell C as French energy giant EDF, the Financial Times reported on Friday. EDF, which owns and runs Britain's nuclear facilities, and the Government were the first backers of the project. But they have been trying to raise billions more from prospective investors, including Centrica. A spokeswoman for Centrica said it would not comment on speculation about acquisitions or investment. In February, chief executive Chris O'Shea said the group was in discussions over injecting cash in the new Suffolk-based nuclear plant, with aims to secure a deal in the first half of this year. He said: 'I like nuclear. I'm really hopeful we can make progress with Sizewell C this year.' But he said it 'all depends on the overall cost of the project and returns'. Mr O'Shea declined to give details on the size of stake Centrica was looking to take in the group, except to say it would be 'between 1% or 2% and 50%'. Chancellor Rachel Reeves earlier this month said £14.2 billion will be invested to build the power plant, marking the end of a long journey to secure funding for the project since it was first earmarked in 2010. Sizewell C will power the equivalent of six million homes and is planned to be operation in the 2030s, and is expected to create 10,000 jobs, the Government said. The Financial Times reported that all sides were hopeful of reaching a final investment decision on the project before Parliament breaks for recess on July 21, citing sources familiar with the discussions.
