Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Franchise back at the stadium next season now.

Bring on Warwick Uni... we've got a £25mil head start now at least.

 

[AOM]

Pre agreed deal, surely King and SISU knew that so why bother with last nights announcement and some false, we are prepared to bid statement today, jokers

I'd imagine so they can say "Look, we tried. Not our fault"

 

[duffer]

Jeez, SISU are really bad at this court stuff. Maybe they need to find another strategy...

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Fraser group know what they are doing, so many purchases of companies in Admin in the last few years.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Franchise back at the stadium next season now.

How would it be viable? There crowds would be even smaller than they are now?

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

I'd imagine so they can say "Look, we tried. Not our fault"

But it is, a lack of knowledge, talks with administrators and funding so it’s completely their fault if they really wanted it

 

[clint van damme]

Can we change the thread title to not the doug King takeover?

 

[Sick Boy]

I’d like to know where they’re getting their funding from, especially considering that MA was in talks with them before - it’s more likely than him being involved with us at this stage.

I still want to know how the Darlington stadium survives on Rugby at an even lower level, mind you.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Is there going to be another twist plot by the end of the day?

 

[skybluepm2]

Oh Doug…

I wonder what time the next poorly worded statement will be released by the Club, citing their disappointment and that they’re exploring their ‘options’

Yep those cunts at the council ushered Ashley in for reason. Fucking reptiles

Interesting that there were 5 other offers....

One was from Duffer though!

 

[Evo1883]

Never normally here is it , ah well , fuck knows what happens with us now

 

[SBT]

This thread is absolutely the sequel to this one:

New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

[ajsccfc]

Is this now a cue for sisu to get back to their real hobby, endless court appeals that go nowhere?

I genuinely don't think so

 

[duffer]

King said he was committed to the football club regardless of whether he got the stadium. If he sticks to that, all well and good because with his input we still should be in a financially better place than before.

And if he now does a u-turn, it suggests he’s untrustworthy and we’ve dodged a bullet.

Spot on. Now the real truth comes out.

There's nothing stopping us offering to buy the stadium off MA of course, or indeed of MA offering to buy the club.

Personally, I suspect the latter is more likely and that King isn't quite for real.

Gut feel, no evidence, I'm not itk, but the timing of King's bid is remarkable and the obvious overlaps with SISU concerning.

 

[covmutley]

We should get a statement from King /club pretty quickly I think. It's not as though this was unexpected.

Hopefully we'll always be shooting towards the Ben Wilson 'King of Saves' stand for the second half

 

[the rumpo kid]

Surely this is the beginning of the end for sisu.

 

[The Philosopher]

Just too late to the party.

As I said elsewhere, critical points of divergence were missed such as open bidding deadline.

Today we were told by DK that Joy didn’t have the resources. It makes sense that she just could get her ducks lined up and has missed the boat.

 

[Brylowes]

I read about him when it was first mentioned, looked at his accounts and any evidence of this huge sports drink he was selling. Empty.

Looks like a publicity seeking Walt.

Apparently staying in Dale Evans east wing, whilst down here.

 

[no_loyalty]

How long before Doug says he has had a rethink and pulls out of the deal to buy the club?

 

[Evo1883]

Well i hope so because ultimately I want whoever owns our stadium to own us too .. hopefully Mr King is a middle man to secure more money for sisu in the event of a takeover , who knows .. fed up

 

[skybluepm2]

Wonder if Ashley will be issuing a press release at some point today stating his intentions

 

[Skyblue_CP]

That’s that then, Ashley isn’t just going to step aside or sell it. Only way we get reunited with the stadium now is if Ashley purchases the club.

 

[Kingokings204]

this is it. More than likely Ashley who has the credentials and money goes after ccfc and gets it. Nothing left for sisu now

 

[Nick]

Which groundshare do people fancy?

 

[duffer]

One was from Duffer though!

I'm filing the appeal as we speak. I've politely declined the assistance of Joy's lawyers.

 

[shepardo01]

I honestly hope he does...
Surely now, the best hope for the club, rather than possibly being at loggerheads with new landlords, is to see what Ashley has to say...

We haven't done Walsall yet and were promised it not so long ago...
