[clint van damme]

Well that was an unexpected twist.

Not so much an ITK as an ITKKK

Gimoc is a Tommy Robinson fan who also worships David Icke and spreads wacko conspiracy nonsense on his social media . Wouldn’t believe him for a minute.

Not sure what to make of that, bit of veiled racism ? Muslims recognise Jesus Christ and do respect Christmas in their way

True. Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet.

Christmas has little to do with Christianity these days anyway, especially in the U.K. I know lots of Muslims that have decorations and give presents on Christmas Day.

An Everton based tree

Correct I have a relation married to a devout Muslim, couldn’t wish to meet a more respectful chap to the Christmas period.

I’ve just seen the Possible blue Christmas tree Everton pun.

Some, uhh, interesting theories being shared on that Twitter account.

 

[alexccfc99]

If/when King is confirmed wonder if he will be more hands on - Or will bring his own board in? (Am I right in saying Fisher is the only actual director of the football club at the moment?)

Be interesting to see if Boddy is moved on as well

 

[SkyblueDad]

I think we have two officers of the club chairman Tim Fisher & ceo Dave Boddy. Will be interesting what happens with Fisher, if he stays chairman does that indicate JS pulling the strings ?

Fisher is the only active director of Otium - Agree, could be telling but it’s not too uncommon during football club takeovers for outgoing directors to stay on after new ownership comes in, in a sort of ‘handover process

Couldn’t even tell you what Fisher does nowadays, he never seems to speak to anyone and handed all that sort of stuff over to Boddy, probably just as well as he always seemed to upset anyone when he opened his mouth

 

[SkyblueDad]

Sure he still attends matches though.

He does, saw him on the train back from Hull this season

 

[AndreasB]

He was at the Bristol game. Looked pretty chipper as usual.

Just wonder what he will do if King gets approval, is he a sisu man or a what’s best for Tim man ?

 

[The Philosopher]

Do you still think it’s Hyam?

TBH I’m unsure.

It was quickly pointed out to me that it could have also been R.O. and the reasons why.

The level of inside knowledge on the playing front, particularly during COVID suggested player, not highly-involved-sponsor. It may be that R.O. had contacts and was passing info on, and stopped when Hyam left; coincidentally perhaps.

Having read through the posts at the time and trying to weigh up who out of the two would / could have had access to the inside knowledge, I have my own theory, which I’ll keep to myself.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Well, Happy Takeover day everyone! Really hope if its going to happen its today so we can get back to talking about signing players out of our price range!

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Maybe they cant find the golden share.

I thought Charlie Bucket found it in his Wonker Bar.

Thursday Feb 2nd knowing our luck.

 

[Loughborough Sky Blue]

There interviews are ‘interesting’ You would think they are interviewing for NASA technicians!

Probably just trying to weed out the candidates that don't know the difference between there, their and they're.

Has to be this week either way surely

Shock as EFL won’t make a statement because the meeting hasn’t been held yet…

 

[Nick]

Is he going to be unveiled with Ryan Reynolds on the pitch?

 

[edgy]

It was never going to be confirmed today - first day back in the office. EFL staff still talking about Dry January and new gym memberships, let alone opening any emails or holding meetings.

Andy Turner's latest suggested there is still i's & t's (issues/queries) to dot and cross. Can see this dragging on until next week.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Fingers crossed. So long as we can get some new faces in for the next league game.

 

[the rumpo kid]

Not going to happen

Not going to happen

What isn't?

 

[SkyblueDad]

It’s been said there’s an agreed time line so I suppose they will stick to that.

Do you mean said by the CET?
This is their words.
"A timescale for Coventry City’s proposed takeover by businessman Doug King has been agreed and put in place.
CoventryLive understands that the EFL, football club and King are working together to bring the deal to a conclusion, which is hoped to be this week.
Although Sky Blues boss Mark Robins has said he’s keeping his fingers crossed that the takeover gets approval by the football governing body on Tuesday, it’s understood there are still i’s to be dotted and t’s to be crossed, not least on the legal side of things."
The highlighted text seems to contradict that unless a timescale has been agreed but is being kept secret.
