[Liquid Gold]

Now the test is to see if he'll actually run us like a football club

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Right, now that's over..... What do we talk about!?

When King is selling to Ashley?

 

[David O'Day]

there's a few wellesbourne market itk's looking rather silly

 

[SBT]

Personally I’m not going to crack open the beers just yet over a bloke who no-one has ever heard of taking control of the club.

 

[long way home]

Good now hope we can get communication on the path we are on and then the actions start to back it up.

 

[chiefdave]

The deal involves clearing all of the Club’s debts accrued prior to King’s agreement to purchase the Club in November, and provides a new start for the Club under fresh ownership.

wonder if this will actually turn out to be true or its will still be sat in the accounts somewhere

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Now the takeovers gone through we can all go balmy.

 

[MusicDating]

We know he's a stooge, but for who Kammy?...

 

[SBT]

Anyone else find it a bit unusual that Joy gets her own quote in the press release?

 

[glasgowfan]

Right, now that's over..... What do we talk about!?

Whether Doug King is preparing to sell the club?

 

[glasgowfan]

Now the takeovers gone through we can all go balmy.

Barmy maybe, but it's too early in the year to be balmy

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why?

Yeah, I'm not sure King will really make that much of a difference. No idea how much he might be willing (or able) to put in for transfers etc. but I can't believe it'd be a great deal. But it's hardly likely to be less than it was before.

At least we can now categorically say Gyok isn't leaving...

 

[Tommo1993]

OhhhhhHHHH! It happened when I was having my afternoon nap to avoid all grouchiness

 

[fernandopartridge]

It is quite weird - it sort of suggests a belief that the fans place great faith in anything she says

Song for Doug King:

You have got such lovely hair,
We will follow you anywhere,
Now the takeover's reached completion,
Will we be sponsored by grecian?
When we watch the city play,
We'll use products by Tresseme,
If your bald do not despair,
The clubs shops selling syrups,
Made out of Dougs hair.

I think it's a winner.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Not really. SISU are still a minority owner.

I prefer a flan

@Saddlebrains

I was also in the won't happen camp.
Obviously the difference been that Saddlebrains is wrong about everything.

 

[Ann Proctor-Brown]

There is a God and a King after all.

I love you Doug King
I'd let you shag my wife
I love you Doug King
I want wavy hair toooooooo

 

[SBT]

Why?

Because the seller doesn’t typically show up in these kinds of press releases. I know SISU are keeping a stake, but what is including a quote from her supposed to signify?

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's supposed to be an 85:15 split in ownership yet in the article on the club's website King gets 74% of the words to Seppalla's 26%. I can see cracks appearing already.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Someone's needs to make a King is our King flag sharpish

had you heard of todd boehly before his name was associated with Chelsea? Seems a strange (and probably quite limiting) criteria

 

[Samo]

It is simply the previous owner endorsing the new one, nothing unusual about that

I dunno, you're a bell end and that seems pretty spot on

 

[Saddlebrains]

GO ON THE DOUG NEVER IN DOUBT, OPERATION PREMIERSHIP II IS IN FULL SWING, KNEW IT WOULD ALL BE OK

 

[SBT]

Yes, I’d heard of the billionaire co-owner of the LA Dodgers.

 

[Gint11]

Confirmed. Let’s give King a chance yeah? Trust him until proven otherwise.

On face value we are debt free and in less need to sell players compared to not being taken over.

Im feeling optimistic.
Another body in. Let’s make a couple of permanents now.
