Not sure if I am being to hasty but surely we should have had a press conference from the new owner, new year new owner with at least platitudes...I know there's alot to do but surely something?

Worries me the stink of of sisu still hangs in the air with the noise of his office being shared with sisu...fingers crossed a real new era but surely...some words to the fan base to at least reassure / pacify or encourage...unless I missed and I apologise for being a dick

What office is shared?

 

[shmmeee]

How many press conferences did Joy hold when she took over?

 

[jim20]

I’m sure we will hear from him once he is up to speed and has a plan in place. It’s a busy time, and he’s probably also concentrating on January transfer business. Rather he be getting stuff done then talking about doing things like SISU have - they probably had more press conferences on building a new stadium then doing any actual work on it

King, where are your people now ? (Great song)

What office is shared?

In the big shared office building that hosts hundreds of companies.

How many press conferences did Joy hold when she took over?

Think that's one of my points, just hope to god this is a new era...not a recycled bollocks again

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Actions speak louder than words, the fact that he has been in charge for a week and weve made a couple of loan signings, one which we couldnt afford to pursue in the Summer means he has been busy, so would rather he keeps on speaking to Robins and ensure we are run properly.

Think Ranson fronted one if I recall

Wasn't it stated his hq is same building?

 

[Calista]

No, lots of companies use the same nominal address as a convenience (no doubt there is some technical or financial advantage to that). I believe it was found to be the case that one of King's companies used the same addressing facility as one related to Sisu.
I'm not saying Sisu aren't still pulling strings at CCFC, but the company address thing seems like a red herring.

 

[SkyblueDad]

We don’t know but my guess is sisu put it out there they were open to sell and King made his interest known. Doesn’t mean he is the other cheek of same arse. Tim Fisher going the first day of the takeover suggests to me sisu are marginalised. I’m sure he will have his business plan, let’s just see where all this takes us.

 

[David O'Day]

Wasn't it stated his hq is same building?

no, they once used the same shared office as a postal address with 100s of others but they haven't for a long time

From a time when UB40 were actually good.

No.

However it seems people are holding onto it.

Doug King is an anagram of Donut Kid (if you change a couple of the letters)
That can't be a coincidence - an obvious link to SISU (which is widely known to stand for Sugar Is Super Unlimited.

My mate explained it to me in the pub last night.

You can take the Piss but it’s still a hell of a coincidence that he is even in the same building as SISU

Have you recoverd from the pub outing yet ?

No it isn't, he isn't sat on the next desk. It was (past tense) a registered office address along with hundreds of others.

From a time when UB40 were actually good.

In the very beginning

 

[pusbccfc]

He's clever not to do one.

He could come out and say he's spending money but then people hold him to it and get frustrated when he doesn't.

Or

He comes out and says we won't be spending money (like Robins has admitted) and people won't like that either.

He's better off keeping his cards close until the summer.

If there is any connection to sisu I'd say his connections to Coleman are a bigger indicator than using the same office building hot desks and drop boxes as sisu.

 

[ceetee]

He actually said that knowing Coleman gave him an intro to discussions with Seppalla

Yeah literally at the very beginning.

Yeah it's good to talk, has a smell of SISU all over it.

 

[alexccfc99]

Not really too bothered - What is he going to actually say?

I’ll be impressed by actions and not sound bites in the media

And that’s what it’s all about, Doug King is in situ all we fans can do is sit back and see what’s delivered from his promises, we’ll soon know and suss him out if he’s a bit of a phoney. I don’t think a link to sisu is what some think it might be.

Oxymoron...the comment that is, not you personally.

 

[bawtryneal]

All most fans really want to know is how much money are we going to spend on new players and are we going to keep the top 4/5 squad members.
The reality is to keep a low profile and let the world think we are broke and keep things under the radar. That is why MR is making his comments. As posted above “actions speak louder than words” and judge the situation on February 1st.

 

[13th_choice_seamer]

Joy said little. BR was full of it, constantly. It doesn't matter what the owner says, it's what they do that counts. A favourable long term stadium deal and investment in the squad would be the best indicators for me.

Yes Storey should have took over. Gave press conferences and had players signed even before he bought the club.

Personally I would rather owners stay in the background and let the football do the talking. Rather than someone craving the limelight from their vanity project.

 

[13th_choice_seamer]

The best thing Joy did was to continue to support the academy so let's hope King does the same.

How did she do that then ?

 

[lord_garrincha]

I remember the good old days of proper stewardship & doing press conferences...
