Doug King Takeover (24 Viewers)

[Deleted member 5849]

He has also said he is not keen on constant litigation

Something that does not compute in recent years!

King only ever been a sisu puppet. He won't put any of his money into city, there's only really the choice of paying rent to MA or selling everything before ditching the club.

Surprise surprise

The chief executive of Coventry City Council escaped a no-confidence vote, it has emerged, as the proposal for a motion was not backed by enough councillors at a Labour group meeting.

Duggins scared of reeves.

 

[itsabuzzard]

so
1. is king still in charge
2. is he interested in investing in the football club
3. will he be building a new ground or working with ashley
4 or is this another 15 years of pain

I have no idea whether to plan for champions league or national league

For the masochists amongst us, option 4 is the front runner.

@duffer

That's just mean. I used my best joined up writing and all of my favourite colours and I even put little hearts above all of the letter 'i' and I drew a lovely picture of me and Mike and Joy and my hamster all standing by the arena under a rainbow with some unicorns and everything and then we went to the Zoo.

Gutted.

Do we reckon mental beardy energy drink guy was one of the bidders?

 

[Tommo1993]

Just listened to his interview from this morning. The part where he said it was an 11th hour announcement to try and get involved in todays hearing.

Sort of made it sound like it’s a big toothless punt, as if putting a pound in a fruity, pressing a button and seeing what happens.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

I’m surprised we’re yet to have a statement from the club.

More lies from Duggins,

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I was able to hear 6 seconds what bullshit spouts out of his mouth for the last 22. (Not sure what the issue is with the sound, or if anyone else has the same)

Not entirely sure, but if you don't like him I guess I'll have to say that I think his was a serious, well-founded bid, that's been cynically derailed by dark forces within the Council.

All hail mental beardy bloke!

As a mental beardy bloke myself I have no issue, just got the impression he was a loon. Never heard of him before today.

More lies from Duggins,

Well it's a case of them all being up to their necks in it so it's mutually assured destruction

But it's not... its bullying and intimidation to keep power!...

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

The way I see it now, sisu have three options.
1. Sell to Mike Ashley
2. Use the Doug king money to make a massive bid for promotion, then sell a premier League club.
3. Assets strip, sell anyone they can get a £ for and offer what's left to the highest bidder.


Guess which one I think the vindictive hedge fund will go for ?

Think 3 is highly unlikely unless Doug doesn’t takeover

 

[SHUNT31]

More lies from Duggins,

I feel with the stuff that keeps being leaked and them being thrown under the bus it is only a matter of time before they are ousted. I hope so anyway.

 

[shmmeee]

Have you met him yet Pete?

 

[Warwickhunt]

if anyone wants to listen to their inspirational local leader Duggins he's on CWR in a few mins

I listened! He does not feel embarrassed one bit by the WASPs fiasco? Trisha Dodo did not phrase the question right! She should have said that a council employee stated at the time there is no way the stadium would be sold to a hedge fund for them to load all their debt on the stadium so that’s why we chose the WASPs bid over SISU

He is a loon. You would want him nowhere near the club.

Just have a google of his time as Haas F1 sponsor.

On current national polling? Not a chance in hell.

Got ya.

I would if I was Labour Group, no idea what the dynamics are and don’t think Duggins has ever been particularly popular.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Have you met him yet Pete?

Nope. I did liaise with Joy last night. It really is a missed opportunity this unless Ashley and King can agree something. Next thing is efl rubber stamp and then come on then Doug what you got!!

 

[fernandopartridge]

On what basis did he become leader? Is there a sort of longevity award?

 

[fernandopartridge]

It isn't a missed opportunity really is it? The opportunity has just moved slightly and other opportunities for others have moved forward

 

[duffer]

More lies from Duggins,

I'd have thought being without a chief executive for a year would be a literal benefit to the city, especially given we're paying a massive amount for the privilege and that the current holder clearly isn't capable of doing the job properly.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

tbf it is kind of that! I think it was as much it was his turn among the old guard - Mutton and Lucas had had their go, so he was the one left.

 

[shmmeee]

Just want to know his plans for the team. This whole circus has been a massive distraction. We’ve got a secure tenancy for the next 7/8 years and I doubt Robins will still be here at that point so let’s see some backing.

2. They'll have no say on making a massive bid as King owns the club now, he may of given them a pound for all we know

 

[shmmeee]

Isn’t everything in local politics?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yea today is a missed opportunity but what happens in the next few weeks and months no one knows. I suppose absolutely that our home games are sorted at cbs which is good

The opportunity was missed November 1st mate.
