I swear to christ if we somehow end up with that lunatic in charge, we're absolutely screwed.
I don't quite understand what Storey thinks his case is to be honest. I think Ashley had been sniffing around longer than that, but just the stadium for the moment unfortunately.

So he's just looking for some compensation (easy money) basically? Perhaps to help fund his takeover bid for the next club stupid enough to enter talks with the chancer.So Storey thinks Sisu started negotiations with King during his exclusivity period. Sisu need to prove they didn’t. Ultimately he won’t get the club. Sisu won’t sell to him. So we need to wait for shenanigans to pass.
Why would the EFL intervene? If he thinks it is an issue for the courts then the EFL will let the courts deal with it..OK this is slightly better

Seems a lunatic
My guess is that its cleverly worded that Sepalla and Ashley haven't spoken. What's Hoffman's role in this and why was he at the court the other week when he stepped down from CBS months ago? I'd bet he is the intermediate for Ashley and that he has been speaking to SISU on Ashley's behalf.Don't think there's a positive angle to this for us. Storey seems an absolutely lunatic. Everything he gets involved in seems to be a disaster and there's little evidence his drinks company has ever actually produced a drink. But as I said yesterday it does raise the question why do others keep getting involved with him.
Seems like the deal was going nowhere and King came in. Not sure if this makes it more or less likely he's connected to SISU. If Sepalla wants out and Ashely wants the club surely they'd be speaking and every indication so far is they haven't.
Seems to be a lot hanging on an off the cuff 2 weeks comment. That's not a particularly accurate phrase when people throw it around and for all anyone knows the first conversation was we can't talk until the exclusivity period with Storey is over.
Can't see Storey getting anywhere with this, Sepalla isn't going to sell to him just because he takes legal action, we all know that. So the most likely outcome is it delays the takeover and we end up selling players in January as Sepalla won't cover any costs on her way out
Still over a month before then and an awful lot can happen. But I’m still amazed that she took Storey seriously enough to even consider his offer, never mind give exclusivity if that’s really what took place.Don't think there's a positive angle to this for us.

If you predict doom and gloom for everything you're just more likely to be right with CovImagine my utter shock.
Been calling this since 'Doug' popped up out of nowhere

Just some cognitive dissonance with his earlier pursuit of Derby plus stadium mixed in with desperation for a change of ownership.It’s not just the horses mouth though. I know we all like to make fun of local journalists but they do actually triangulate information with other sources and Gilbert who seems to have an inside track here has repeatedly said Ashley has been nowhere near the club and not shown interest.
Hoffman was probably there as a fan as much as anything else.
I’d like to know if Storey would pass fit and proper test. Several liquidated companies and numerous late filings. Ok, not a disqualified director but the EFL need to raise the bar.Why would the EFL intervene? If he thinks it is an issue for the courts then the EFL will let the courts deal with it..

I stuck up for Joy recently but this again shows a lack of judgement on her behalf.Still over a month before then and an awful lot can happen. But I’m still amazed that she took Storey seriously enough to even consider his offer, never mind give exclusivity if that’s really what took place.
Like I said before, even when they’re at last pissing off, they still can’t get it right.I stuck up for Joy recently but this again shows a lack of judgement on her behalf.
Signing something with someone with a history (that could only take 10 mins to check) of playing silly buggers and breaking deals, with no apparent wealth on paper (lunatics with no money don’t care if they are sued) is frankly, negligent. As custodian of the Club (a Company) she has a duty to the Club not to be a Wally.
Looks like she got led down a garden path whilst Ashley was getting the stadium for half value.
Joy! Get better advisors around you. Where was Fisher and Boddy in all this. Surely they could have done done digging.
Madness.
And that there is the problem.He’d be fine - everyone is
And that there is the problem.
Recent MP led inquiry into how Rugby has got into such a mess might lead to how “community asset” sports businesses are run.
Better governance required.
An inside track at the council (sure Saddlebrains said they had the same source) but not with Ashley or the club. Why would Hoffman, as a 'fan of CCFC' go all the way to attend a court case to see if the stadium was going to Ashley or not. I'd find that as bizarre as anything else in this saga, without some level of personal interest in the outcome. He could have found out 10 minutes afterwards, same as the rest of us fans.It’s not just the horses mouth though.

Because it suited Sepalla to make it look like there was a deal going through?I stuck up for Joy recently but this again shows a lack of judgement on her behalf.

I’m certain that’s correctNothing better to do? Same as Storey and King/Sisu had hoped it would fall apart and he could bid?
Gilbert doesn’t just have council contacts that’s ridiculous. Just today he’s verifying the Storey story, how would council contacts help with that? He clearly knows people at the club willing to talk off the record.
BTW dint some Sunderland fan say he had a bid put in.
Who at the club could actually verify something like that and be worth verifying it with? All sounded to me like the only info he’s had is from Storey himself, who appears very much a self publicist and limelight lover, hence the willingness to be interviewed. Doug King has vanished, SISU won’t talk because of NDAs. We’ve had almost nothing from the club apart from what they want us to hear.Nothing better to do? Same as Storey and King/Sisu had hoped it would fall apart and he could bid?
