I wasn't aware that Overson had free access as and when to Ryton ? .Doug King has established an office for himself at Ryton it's not hugely surprising that he's making changes to what goes on.

difference is. we were told king was stumping the cash himself which clearly isn’t true.
The interviews at the time say 'we' rather than 'I' and what 'we' means in context is clear.

It's quite simple, if he didn't pay for it, who did? Go and ask whoever told you he didn't, and let them tell you! It'd actually be useful info!

If they're now negotiating lower prices with previous holders they'll alienate the ones who have paid full price -that's suicide.

Also I hope nobody mentions players partying in lockdown on the politics thread or it really will be a meltdown on here and new reasons to boycott!

Am I the only who thought it was obvious that GIMOC is mates with Overson’s son, hence the info, WhatsApp group mentions etc.?

I honestly don’t give it a shit either way but it is clear Overson is very friendly with a lot of the players as one of his Insta reels came up on my Insta and he had a big party with loads of them there, singing city songs etc. so obviously is going to have an inside line into what is going on and clearly devotes a lot of time to the club.

And not sure why GIMOC gets so much shit for writing what he’s hearing as doesn’t sound like he’s making it up to me and more importantly why he even continues to bother after all the grief he takes from you lot 🤣
I went to to school with Overson’s sons. Nice lads and might have made more of an effort to be mates if I knew I’d get to be an ITK 15 years later.

boddy has handed his notice in. As for robins, haven’t heard anything about that. as I’ve said, all is not great behind the scenes, has this escalated down, I don’t know.
Mate, this isn't a good look. Perhaps just have a tea and some nice biscuits and realise this forum is just a place full of nutjobs, impressing us isn't much of an achievement.

well isn’t that what an owner should be doing when he says “we’re all in the journey together’?
If they’ve got money to burn sure but it’s not expected. Where would it end? Should he pay the players wages? Give us all free season tickets?

I'd be vaguely interested what the terms of any investment were. That'd be useful to know...

more likely from the budget of this season ahead. but certainly hasn’t used his own money for the upgrade.
Neither did Ashley use his own money at Newcastle.

I don't think GIMOC is ' getting so much shit' actually? Just people not buying into everything he is saying and sucking his tits off for it.

Fuck me - you haven't got a clue have you?

My source has told me that Doug King is preparing a Partygate-style inquiry into this, with those responsible looking at some serious jail time. He’s 80% sure about it anyway.
I'm dubious of this source-King would much more likely be 3/5 sure.

Who ever is leaking such information to GIMOC etc appears no longer to have the clubs best interests at heart, which is the saddest part.

The club needed shaking up. We all knew it.

king maybe doing it well or badly but leaking info to the fans serves to undermine the unity we had last season.

Snippets about transfers are exciting, I love them, even though history shows that very few are accurate.

snippets about Poundland millionaires complaining about corporate box prices or disgruntled staff complaining about a new owner having a different view are just self serving and do not help the club in anyway.

King may or may not be an arse but he’s the only arse that got rid of SISU. Overson and Dawkins etc might be great guys but they didn’t get rid of SISU or even close to it. For that reason alone King deserves the opportunity to prove whether his way will work or not.

I think he shouldn't be airing so much dirty laundry in public and keep his gob shut. It's unprofessional and bad for the club. If it's true that the players illegally partied during lockdown, for example, they go down in my estimation a huge amount. I'd rather not hear this-or any of his spitefully toned gossip. Plus, he's already been proven wrong over one prediction he made, so how can we trust anything he says?

tbf he didn't introduce the partying thing, that was yet another ITK!

Because you have influential people who king has upset. One influential person who the players and manager respects has been shafted by King. That’s where the issue could arise when it works it way down to where it matters the most and his has nothing to do with boddy
You are talking a load of baloney.

Hopefully it's complete rubbish! I'm going to choose not to believe it for the sake of my sanity I think.
It wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of young men used to social interaction did such a thing. It would surprise me if a man who had helped fund the club through some difficult times had actively encouraged it as opposed to turning a blind eye.

???? what’s the point of an owner if he doesn’t invest himself? if we continue down the self sufficient route then no change to the previous regime?
If he’s more competent than Sepalla, Fisher, et al then King can still have a positive impact on the club.

Pouring money without competence gets you in the Everton position.

We all would love a billionaire to invest endlessly in us but we have been as cheap as Chips to buy for years and no one has come forward with an offer good enough to tempt SISU. Hoffman tried multiple times only to be derided on here for trying.

Until that billionaire arrives then we will have to rely on competent business men / women trying to run the club sustainably .
