Imagine if Gilbert asked him about his favourite chocolate selection tub.

I mean it all seems surreal, yet pretty clear they can buy the stadium and at a better cost than what ashely has bid too ..won't look good on the administator or the council (who let's be honest have a finger in it ) if they flat out say no

 

[Nick]

25mill baby

Coventry council right now

It's mad what you can find at the back of sofa after 15 years!

 

[SBT]

I won’t believe it’s true until we hear that Warwick University are on board.

Yeah this could easily all be over by the end of the morning and this bid dead in the water. I don’t really care who gets it if they can unite club and stadium.

 

[Evo1883]

I also don't want to point out the painful obvious as it's probably not the best time , but I'm going to .


This proves the new stadium was a load of shit , which we all knew

 

[lord_garrincha]

The only disappointment is that the tweet shows the stadium and not a suitcase with a shitload of reddies in it.

.......and sell Gyo, Hamer and O'Hare to pay for it

They can get out of that though, as it's a new owner who decides they want CBS, not SISU.

SISU would still head for the new stadium, right?

 

[Evo1883]

.......and sell Gyo, Hamer and O'Hare to pay for it

Get off that mackem shite mate , they don't like us

 

[skybluetony176]

He

hasn't paid anything as yet, he's just reached an agreement. (That's my understanding)
My guess is the agreement "could" depend on him securing the Arena. If he fails to secure the Arena then all bets may be off.

Can’t help but feel that’s the actual plan. MA is successful in court today, buys ACL straight out of admin, Doug pulls out, SISU blame council, back to court.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

So if we don’t get the stadium - can Doug spend the 25m on players?

 

[jordan210]

Maybe Sisu will keep Ryton as part of the deal and sell it for houses.

 

[Evo1883]

I guess 25 mill will be a good down payment if this bid falls through

 

[Nick]

He also said Joy didn't have the funds but he has.

 

[lord_garrincha]

The best case scenario is that the bid is unsuccessful, and the £25m is used as a January warchest to get us to the Prem... right... Doug... why you running away???

 

[Evo1883]

Where we training ? Allan higgs

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

OK - I might sneak a look now and then, but you have my word that I'll desist from posting

 

[CCFCSteve]

tbh it's exactly why I wouldn't be 100% confident that Ashley's deal would go through either. Every chance he could get difficult after finding out the true state of affairs, isn't there.

But yeah '£25 mil, look at me with my £25 mil!'

I might be wrong but I got the impression from comments on here /Gilbert that Ashley’s deal would be immediate if (and it’s now a big IF) court sanctions administration/sale today

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Agreed

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Vik’s new contract?

 

[skybluepm2]

Inserting ‘we must grasp it’ to sign off on a statement, sounds so desperate.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Alright, let's go back to the Doug King's offer reduced to £10mil after due dilligence

 

[Philosoraptor]

I think this could be the 2nd offer to the bondholders. Can't see any reason why ACL should be put into liquidation.

Trustee has enough time now to arrange a proper sale of ACL being the secured creditor over everyone else.

I believe that's correct.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Whatever is happening just enjoy our day in court today. Might be the last one for a while. End of an era stuff.

 

[lord_garrincha]

What time will the CCFC tweet be expressing their disappointment that the stadium has been sold for CONSIDERABLY less than we offered???

We all knew, and were all delighted

Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

"As supporters of Coventry City we are delighted by the joint statement from CCFC and Warwick University. It is all the more pleasing given the assurances we received earlier this year from Dave Boddy & Joy Seppala on the priority that CCFC and Sisu were placing on having a stadium of our own...

I think you’ll find ‘the plans’ will be dusted off once more if Ashley gets hold of the CBS

 

[Otis]

Super super
Maybe he's trying to get a song going

Super, super doug

Super, super, super Doug
You'll be first to pull the rug
You say you've the money, oh King of Shaves
You must think we live in caves

Super, super, super Doug
We roll our eyes and give a shrug
Sounds more like you're a SISU puppet
So go jog on, you super f*cking super Muppet.

Something like that?
