Will the council even talk to them??

[Paul Anthony]

Wow, that's a bolt out of the blue isn't it!?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Excuse me, what the fuck?

 

[jim20]

Let’s hope he can invest in the squad in January

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Oh my!!!!!!!

 

[covmark]

Mental. Anyone know who he is?

 

[SBT]

So is this Joy bringing in someone to be the acceptable face of a SISU play for the arena?

I have serious doubts that this guy is either a) independently wealthy enough to do everything needed here at CCFC or b) fully independent of SISU.

With an 85% stake I doubt that very much.
