Doug King Takeover (33 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

Bloody hell glass half empty or what!!! And when a rent deal is agreed it will be too short and when it’s extended it will be something else bloomin eck

Where’s the sense in frasers pricing the football club out of the ground.

To be fair these are valid concerns.
After all, we had a ten year deal that didn't last for 2!

I am hopeful that this is the beginning of good things for us. I think we need to do our part and get behind the club and team, big home game coming up v Norwich and owe them one. A packed stadium would be a good place to start as fans to get behind the team! Then hope the owner does his part and enables the team and management to do theirs!

Course there are that meteor last night could have crashed through one of the stands
Are we now blaming ccfc for wasps demise?

 

[Liquid Gold]

this 'debt free' claim...we've certainly heard that before from Ransom, and that turned out to be horse shit.

Did it?

Honest question here. Couldn't they have bought the club, cleared the debts and then racked up a load of new debts in the following years?

It gets banded around that the Ransom claim was bollocks but it could have been true and then football finances caught up on them.

No, but if we haven't learnt to be sceptical and to question everything after the last 20 years then we really would deserve everything we get.

I mean I’m just gutted William Storey’s investment didn’t come to fruition along with the players worth 10s of millions

 

[SkyblueDad]

Glad thats all done so hopefully it’s now onwards and upwards, big plus for me is sisu marginalised would rather they had gone altogether but at least this is a start. Don’t know the link between them and King but a leopard doesn’t change its spots won’t be long before our Doug realises what they are all about.
Wonder where Fisher stands now, another cretin.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Can we though!!???

I think overall I’m cautiously optimistic I just have a tendency to imagine the worse case scenario.

It makes no sense to price the club out but of course they wouldn’t do that. They’d milk us for what they can or use as leverage for their own takeover. Maybe they really aren’t interested though and happy to take rent at a fair price, fingers crossed.

On the sky sports yellow bar we are massive.

Have a can of Rich Energy and calm down

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Always going to happen…. Hence
<————-

We're signing Bacuna and Mata?

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

The fact she's still sitting on 15% after Thorn, Slade, Northampton, Brum, Burton, Admin, Points deductions & a snide 10 year lease boils my piss tbh

Always remember the phrase was 'we have no overdraft'

 

[robbiekeane]

You are a fucking idiot

This was pretty accurate

Didn't they explain that one away by clarifying that 'debt free' actually meant 'external' debt

Rarer than Prime that

 

[Jamesimus]

Announce Mbappe

Is it just me, but i find it hard to believe this 'debt free' claim...we've certainly heard that before from Ransom, and that turned out to be horse shit.
Most football club owners load clubs with debt, to reduce any taxes owing...which is sensible.
Maybe King will keep the debt at one of his profitable companies to lessen the tax there, as it's super unlikely we will be making any profits ??

I really really hope you don’t do your own tax returns

 

[Peter Billing Eyes]

Announce Mbappe

More likely to sign Mbatchy.

 

[saveitforthewombles]

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

and the Derby guy? and the Gillingham guy? Sheffield Utd group? Amazed by how connected you are and I stand corrected - the main criteria we should be using when evaluating whether to get excited about this takeover is 'have we heard of them before?'.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Debts generally incur interest, which is tax deductible...correct ?
Just because i didn't go into detail, doesn't mean i don't understand.

 

[shmmeee]

If the last few years have taught me anything it’s that this site knows nothing and when things do go tits up we didn’t predict it we predicted something else entirely. So I’m happy enough, let’s see where we are at the start of next season before going mental.

[CCFCSteve]

Great that it’s finally confirmed. The fire sale of Hyam followed by the lack of real interest in the ground suggested that SISU were done and we’d only be going one way without continued miracles. Let’s hope Kings better

 

[jim20]

Always remember the phrase was 'we have no overdraft'

probably weren’t allowed an oberdraft

 

[skybluebeduff]

I want us to beat Forests record for most signings in one window.

Over to you Doug.

Tim’s gone, now that’s defo a reason to get the beers out!!

He's in credit compared to his predecessor until his fourth ground move, anyway.

Thing is, why say it if untrue? It wasn’t an absolute for the fans. It puts us on the front foot and gives the club a different dynamic both internally and externally. It’ll probably be an interest free loan, payable on promotion or similar. I imagine King will want PL - in which case, his investment pays off big time.

Thank fuck

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Gets better

I'm going to have one to celebrate. Can you guess what I'm drinking?
