    Could the delay be because SISU can't remember where they put the golden share I bet he knows

    Doug King Takeover

    Had this happened back in March before WASPs went belly up, then I would have had more confidence in it, it just seemed opportunistic with the stadium potentially going to Ashley that it was a last desperate attempt to derail it. A £25m conditional offer, with no serious due diligence was seen...

    Doug King Takeover

    so the hollywood boys come in and buy Wexham - seems quite straightforward. SISU sell 85% to an associate but for little or no cash, just at the time Ashley was closing in on the stadium to allow the King to make his £25m bid. Lots of newspaper headlines and noises but Ashley £18m was preferred...

    Positives from yesterday

    [if you QUOTE="torchomatic, post: 2673822, member: 3"] It's bizarre. I just finished watching the game I'd recorded on S4C and Palmer was out best player by far. If you rewatched the whole game was there a foul on vic inside their box just after their penalty looked a very poor challenge

    Match Thread Wrexham FA Cup match

    Its got defeat written all over it this one. Play a weakened team against a lower league team, in great form with a big support. They will be up for it, high on confidence.

    Eviction notice

    I agree but SISU did the right thing to appoint Robins, the rest of their decisions though were generally poor.

    Eviction notice

    SISU era has got better over the last 5 years following the reappointment of Mark Robbins - the single best decision that they ever made but15 years of mostly pain and some dreadful characters involved in our club, Igne, Ken Diddlydoo, the Canadian who wanted us to text the manager for...

    Eviction notice

    SISU like most hedge funds work by distressing other stakeholders, move to northampton definitely distressed ACL / CCC but backfired when WASPs moved in, move to St Andrews again distressed WASPs who were struggling financially but needed CCFC especially to get the stadium sponsorship deal with...

    Bellamy transfer fiasco to Cov in 2000

    I originally posted this not to vent anger at Bellamy but just to shed light on what looks a crazy transfer negotiation. hopefully that can't happen again. As for Bellamy clearly a good player but to kick the club and the fans when they were down, relegated and in a precarious financial...

    Bellamy transfer fiasco to Cov in 2000

    Bellamy was a huge gamble although he was older than Robbie Keane and like Keane unproven at PL level, he missed nearly all the previous season with a serious injury and he joined a team that had lost its most influential players from the previous season. although he went on to be a high...

    Bellamy transfer fiasco to Cov in 2000

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I was listening to the Socially Distant Sports Bar podcast and it was discussing Craig Bellamy's autobiography - Goodfella. I haven't read (nor ever will ) read the book but it sounds like it was chaos, Newcastle had been in contact and Bellamy...

    Match Day Experience

    Can't believe that the deliveroo option can't be tailored to a stadium, online ordering and then collection from a kiosk or even delivering to your seat in the stadium (with the exception of alcohol). Rarely get into a ground much before kick-off but did enjoy the montage at st andrews for the...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    A tenant to WASPs is not a long term option, it can only work if we were in the Prem where the gate receipts and other income become less important as they are a small percentage of the TV money. If the Warwick Uni stadium I will go but I doubt even after the proposed infrastructure...
