Doug King Takeover (28 Viewers)

[baldy]

If this ‘takeover’ saga drags into January, I would not be surprised robins goes to Norwich if they come calling which could be a big possibility

‘If’ twice plus also a ‘could be’ - talk about guesswork

‘If’ twice plus also a ‘could be’ - talk about guesswork

talk about a big possibility. I’ve heard the takeover has stalled. If the worse case does happen then we will sell players and the fact robins was so confident the takeover would happen that could be the final straw.

Who from and what’s the stalling over?

 

[GIMOC]

Who from and what’s the stalling over?

as I said the other day. EFL asking for POF. Hence the delay

From? And that doesn’t sound like stalling

Be silly of me to say who from but the info I receive usually spot on. Secondly, the fact EFL are questioning it and we haven’t responded doesn’t bode well hence the word stalled. If you don’t want believe that, no problem but only saying what I’ve been told. Hopefully it goes through so we can strengthen. If not, after the reassurances Robins had over the takeover it could turn his head to other clubs.

Business?
Come on

Zero chance

You seem like you have done inside info on this Pete, you saying zero chance to him going to Norwich or the takeover

It was a bit tongue in cheek given his comments about yok

 

[Matt smith]

I think the takeover isn’t going to happen and robins might be in the opposite dugout come January the 21st

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think gimoc is full of shit

 

[Matt smith]

It was a bit tongue in cheek given his comments about

let’s be honest this Doug king isn’t going to be taking over would have happened by now

 

[alexccfc99]

Shame the EFL didn't spend this long deciding on our current owners.

The more this goes on, the stranger it becomes. I genuinely thought Wasps going bust and the stadium up for sale was when we become a "normal club".

If they’d have done that the club would have gone into administration

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

let’s be honest this Doug king isn’t going to be taking over would have happened by now

Why? Cause people make stuff up about delays and worry everyone

 

[GIMOC]

Lol - ok then. Will see

We’re in the restaurant and people who arrived later are getting served before us. Which isn’t to say our steak isn’t going to come but it does raise questions

Preston Haskell ordered a t bone with peppercorn sauce

 

[Matt smith]

Lol - ok then. Will see

I must admit I’m concerned at the delay

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think we will yep
So is it the club
Owner
Player
Or do you just make stuff up?
come on just confirm where you are getting the info from?
I’ve communicated with the owner and the club and my link to both and all are expecting the takeover to happen

Hope not regarding Robins. It’s my birthday on the 21st and Robins sitting in the opposite dugout isn’t part of my birthday celebrations.

 

[Sick Boy]

The Norwich speculation is laughable.

Their best manager in recent years has been foreign so let’s hope that’s a route they go down again

 

[shmmeee]

The EFL asking for more info on finances isn’t a secret AFAIK but I don’t see how anyone but they EFL could know it’s “stalled”

When Pete? It’s already taking longer to complete than another takeover that was announced over a week after ours but completed before Xmas. If that’s a yard stick to judge how long it takes to complete the takeover of a football club it points to issues with the King takeover. Proof of funds is a distinct possibility. He may have proof of funds to satisfy SISU that he can pay what they want for the club (settling the debt to them by the sounds of it) but that’s a completely different kettle of fish to providing POF that you can bankroll the club to the EFL. It sounds like something is stalling the proposed takeover.

Or it’s Christmas

 

[Matt smith]

if the takeover does happen

do you think we Will significantly invest?

I think he would throw a million or two into January if it happens

Screw Christmas Doug king taking over is more important than Santa getting his port and mince pies

Gimoc has been right on several occasions before. Classic case of its bad news so people dont want to believe it. Trust him more than Pete the Boddy mouthpiece tbh. Hopefully it does go through but let's be honest it's not looking great is it?

Yer, but you get concerned if the MET office says there's a 10% chance of rain.

I’m just asking where he’s from I’ve said who I’ve liased with

Doubtful though.

The King takeover was announced on the 16th of November, not yet complete.

Gillingham takeover was announced on the 30th of November, completed the 23rd of December.

The Gillingham takeover wasn’t exactly simple either as the ground was used as security for investment. We know that the EFL weren’t satisfied with the initial information supplied to them regarding our takeover and came back for more. On the face of it ours would seem a much simpler process too, given we don’t own a ground to offer as security for investment. Even factoring in Xmas our takeover is already taking at least 2 weeks longer than Gillingham with no end in sight.

From the start I was in the I’ll believe it when I see the EFL ratify it camp. Not seeing anything to suggest I’m wrong to be in that camp.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Who?

It’s a hungry metaphor. Gillingham got theirs approved despite applying afterwards

So what’s the theory? And what’s the evidence and where is it from?
