Don’t know. Just sick of seeing that ‘I’ word now. Though I’ve no reason to believe this ownership will make us any more prosperous, I’m getting fidgety and discontent.
Why? I mean you’ve come this far, if you think there’s a decent signing close to completion why not wait? I’m fact surely you don’t want everyone knowing you’ve just been taken over while negotiating with the other club?
Does anybody think we will be better off under a doug king ownership ?
Just curious what people are expecting

I know it was only words but
Hopefully a clean slate makes us better off, if we're not having to serve interest charges to run up debt, anyway.Does anybody think we will be better off under a doug king ownership ?

Personally, I'm unsure. But it's clear that with SISU as the sole owners we're not going to go any further than this and more than likely backwards. Robins can work wonders on a small budget so even a modest increase should serve us well.Does anybody think we will be better off under a doug king ownership ?

I don't know the answer to your questions on DK, but my guess on retaining the 15% is it is a hedge against future years promotion to the premier league. The value of the club would increase massively even if we still pay rent for the Arena. Then the 15% would be sold PDQI still can’t decide what has motivated King to buy us is he a lone wolf, a front for others, what do sisu expect for their 15%, could King sell his 85% or part of it to anybody as usual there are more questions than answers.
Owning a football club especially a championship one is an expensive business.
sorry to depress you further, but having written to the EFL before and not received a response I wrote to the club and got this :Can someone please send this thread to the club, The EFL, or a mental health charity. Please, I can't take it anymore.

If they do not retain a share then they have no further interest in the club, so if they wanted to profit from a potential rise in value they would definitely need to retain an interest. True it ensures nothing, but if promotion happened, the shares would not be difficult to shift, particularly with their knowledge of the financial markets, maybe DK fancies the lot?You don't need to retain any shares for that - in fact it would not ensure anything. Who would Sisu sell the shares to? Still be worthless.

fine we shall agree to disagree. Have a great day!They wouldn't. This is not a stock market company. The shares are what people are prepared to pay for them. King if he owns 85% does not have to pay a penny for the remaining 15% - why would he? Who else would? No legal requirement to ever pay a dividend on them is there? Could be winning the Champions League and still no requirements.
Promotion doesn't add any value at all unless King also sells and even then no one needs to buy the 15% do they? Is Fisher still the only Board member? Or will Seppalla insist on Sisu boardroom control still?
Sisu could put an agreement in with a an agreed payment as part of the sale if promotion happens - or on player sale percentages - with zero need to still own shares
Makes no sense and again no one knows what the ownership retention is and in which company
I still can’t decide what has motivated King to buy us is he a lone wolf, a front for others, what do sisu expect for their 15%, could King sell his 85% or part of it to anybody as usual there are more questions than answers.

Owning a football club is a rich boys club. We are a good season away from the bright lights of the Premier League.
Caveat emptor.That’s the original reason Sisu took us over. Easy sell to their investors. And it clearly worked as well, it’s been an amazing few years.
Caveat emptor.

Wouldn’t read too much into Boddy being there myself - It’s not too uncommon for people to stick around after a takeover in a sort of ‘handover period’
If he isn’t kept on, I think he’d be here till the end of the season anyway

Non league in 3 years.
