Doug King Takeover (9 Viewers)

[Londonccfcfan]

Just read on Sky sports news King has made a PLEDGE to make club debt free. So that means fuck all.

A pledge. Jeez

Unless Ashley buys the ground tomorrow. Then it’s abysmal. Seems like trying to be too clever when they could just announce a plan to buy it a month ago and have public support when it could actually do something.

It’s still in Ashley’s hands, no?

The one thing this certainly does , is force his hand , if he still gets the stadium then the bloke really REALLY wanted the stadium

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don’t think Ashley wants the club at all TBH.

Why did he want Derby in a lower division?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I'm going to start a rumour on twitter that Joy is just Doug King in drag and most of those cunts will believe it

Gimoc would - hate these scorn pourers

Well that certainly looks a strange tweet

 

[Liquid Gold]

Everywhere sadly , even down to Stuart linnel on twitter , all very negative .. don't know what to think now

Read Stewart Little then and thought if that mouse prick is involved I'm logging off.

I can't believe that family left a human child at the orphanage for that smart arse knobhead.

 

[MacReady]

I’m assuming everyone is awaiting a comment from the true messiahs, the SkyBlueTrust? They’re always in the know.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Surely any takeover which means we are debt free is good news isnt it.?

Why does it say initially ?

 

[SkyBluesForever21]

I swear some Cov fans live for the misery, hoping for some Machiavellian conspiracy they can throw a few hashtags at

Honestly Machiavelli would be an improvement on what we've been dealing with am I right!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Why did he want Derby in a lower division?

Forest fan?

 

[ccfc922]

Agree Just hope this isnt another sucker punch to the fans. Stop fucking playing games with us.

Surely this has to be the day we've all been waiting for?

As I said a few days ago, the position MR and coaches have got us in, we're so close to being competitive in this league.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

you must be naive to fuck if you don’t think sisu are playing a game here.

Clear what your agenda is my friend

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Anybody else keep thinking of this bloke ?

 

[Evo1883]

People on here now thinking ashley about to back out tomorrow?

Just me ?

It's Coventry City. We've seen so many false dawns or broken promises, we always look on the negative side now to avoid disappointment.

yup, assume to make him not want the stadium.

 

[GIMOC]

Agenda? I want what’s best for my club. This fake takeover isn’t that

 

[Evo1883]

yup, assume to make him not want the stadium.

Could very well work too

Kid wants to be an "itk" but fucked it up over the ground and admin

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Why did he want Derby in a lower division?

He didn't want them enough to buy them

 

[Evo1883]

What happens ( hypothetically ) if this takeover means that we end up owning the stadium under Mr King because Mike ashley pulled out last minute ?

 

[Como]

I am going to assume the 85% is not just King's money, that there are others involved.

SISU still have a direct 15%, they will need to cough up their share of future investment, but have the funds to do it.

The Ground is separate and nothing has really changed.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it.

 

[GaryJones]

Buying a football club is like making lo a beautiful woman

Yes it’s all fantastic & exciting at the start and usually turns into a shit show later down the line!
Cynical I know

 

[OldBedrocker]

Says debt free, so will be interesting.

The full statement says the structure of the stadium bid will ensure CCFC remains “INITIALLY” debt free

 

[Nick]

Well

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it.

Assume SISU think he wants the club.

I think it's more that we are all able to smell bullshit a mile off. Th CCFC 'statement' looks like it's been written by a 5 year old, looking to fool his parents into believing something that's not true. It's completely amateur.

 

[Evo1883]

Well

I guess we will find out soon enough , personally , this has put a massive spanner in Mike Ashley's plan .. a plan I was all for il be honest

There might be no money involved. He could have taken on the debt only.

 

[GIMOC]

Do you think that will happen?

Mike ashley will see through this. He could easily do what the council done and fuck up sisu which means messing us up. That’s my concern. We’ve been here before and look what happened. Sisu playing politics with our club again

 

[The CableGuy]

Very, very strange to see such little coverage from the national press.

Both before and after this has come out.

Not surprising there's not much on this now in national media, World Cup starts this weekend and Ronaldo continues to throw toys out of his pram.

Lol - ok then. Your obsession with me is very concerning

 

[GaryJones]

Buying a football club is like making love to a beautiful woman

You get your trousers taken down - in more ways than one!!
