Chap? Sounds like you are the type of bloke to hang around in the upper circles with people like Doug! Hopefully you aren't trying to ruin his reputation even before he has begun with us!!! All I can hope and wish with this acquisition is that Doug will take some time to listen to the fans and take our views on board!!!!!

Has somebody bought a "how to fuck around and find out" on forums?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

this chap is absolutely one of SISU's investors whom has claimed to be a separate entity, who SISU can name as a person and claim to be a new owner, in order to manipulate ownership of the stadium, and engage in negotiations that were previously closed off to them due to breakdown in relationships.

If this was a legitimate sale the new owner would have been all over communicating this with as much positive publicity as possible. interviews, releasing it at a reasonable time- to generate momentum and excitement. alongside explaining their vision for their ownership.

instead, it has been a statement orchastrated by SISU, with no to little focus on the buyer. released without interviews and exciting buildup, done so strategically based on what is happening tomorrow.

it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Im hoping your wrong, but deep down think your right.

He hasn't just "put in a bid", the club is his once efl approve. As for "random stranger", were you expecting a celebrity? Graham Norton maybe?

A local businessman with no ties to football or to the local area but with tight ties to sisu buys the club and everyone buys the shit from Sisu PR

Crikey you lads have got to get a shift on if we are going to make 13000 posts before the court case tomorrow

 

[GIMOC]

Think you'll find they will

I wouldn’t be so sure on that.

Speaking of that what time's kick off?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I smell a rat on this Pete, I wouldn't be going all in on people that are sceptical.

Only those that have been around for a month

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I wouldn’t be so sure on that.

Prepare to be disappointed

exactly. Read the statement. Says he’s been a long admirer of the sky blues. they sisu do treat us like mugs

 

[David O'Day]

Or craeted an account today and all post in exactly the same style

 

[shmmeee]

EFL won’t stand for this stunt.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It says more like 'welcome to our new business partner' rather than 'all the best for the future'

I have suspicions but okay

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Read both statements again. It looks not like Seppala is walking off into the sunset, but still working in partnership with King to try and get the stadium. Just much easier to argue if it's a 'local businessman' offering 'regeneration' and has clearly already got a lot of the fanbase on side.

Ashley put in £1.2 million so we could continue playing. What did SISU put in?

Doing exactly what they were asked to do on here many many times

Public donations in 'Shaveolution' funds King of Shaves' first TV ad campaign

Men's grooming firm King of Shaves will launch its first television advertising campaign next week funded by nearly £1 million raised through 'shaving bonds' sold to members of the public.

Put £4m into King of Shaves.

Yeah because it says he would have 85% so they still have 15%...

They will have worded it like that.

No, nobody has bought anything. We're waiting to see how this pans out with cautious optimism.

If the mad-eyed flat earthers are right, then it will all emerge very quickly. Until then, those of us who don't have a personal agenda will just make a brew and wait a while.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Telling the club to sod off and punt players on the cheap to help with short term cashflow is more accurate

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Oh FFS it's going to be the King of shaves stadium isn't it

close shaves

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah because it says he would have 85% so they still have 15%...

It also says 'our plan'. Smells fishier than Mrs BSB after a run

 

[Philosoraptor]

Yeah because it says he would have 85% so they still have 15%...

Or it is a sliding scale for an exchange of percentage of Arena.

The reaction from certain accounts on social media and the ones rushing to sign up on here show it has had a reaction....

Deep down are you actually quite disappointed that Mike Ashley probably won’t be our owner now?

SISU still own 15%, so I’ll only be drinking 85% of my pints on the concourse.

You know he’s not

They actually want it to be a SISU stunt, they would love it.

Pretty much this, no one is celebrating but the sensible folk are just saying let's actually see what happens

Fat Man Chino Wearer's Union innit. Like the one for goalkeepers but more time lurking around the Pizza Hut buffet.

On a more serious point-a little bit yes, if it turns out to be the case. It was clear from more than one source around the Derby speculation that he wanted to get back into football and saw an EFL club as one where he could invest without running into stupid money.
