To be fair to King, I think we probably would turn a profit overall on our spending from summer 23.
For all the doom and gloom on here we are a more attractive proposition to any potential new owner than when he came in.
To be fair to King, I think we probably would turn a profit overall on our spending from summer 23.I was going to make a thread about this actually
Seemingly the investment he planned to bring in hasn't been forthcoming which has changed his outlook
He strolled in thinking this owning a club lark was easy, you could flog players for a huge profit most years rinse and repeat
When hes discovered that indeed isn't the case (remember, he himself admitted he know nothing of football) he's realising just how hard owning a football club is now the honeymoon period is over
So the club isn't up for sale in the greatest sense of the word, but he won't be here by 2028 I can 100% promise you, that may even be a lot sooner with how it's panned out recently

Ot wouldn't surprise me if King came in thinking it would be easy. We were flying and constantly doing better than the year before. We had just lost a game on penalties that was worth £100m.To be fair to King, I think we probably would turn a profit overall on our spending from summer 23.

And the fans were with the club for the first time in years.. Things got choppy when the managerial partnership failed.Ot wouldn't surprise me if King came in thinking it would be easy.

…he came in before that? lol. People have amnesia round hereOt wouldn't surprise me if King came in thinking it would be easy. We were flying and constantly doing better than the year before. We had just lost a game on penalties that was worth £100m.
Spending about 40m on a squad to find out it's only a bottom half squad can't be good on the old ticker.No one should be suprised that King might seek new investment or sell the club in the medium term. 5 of the current top 7 in the championship have new owners !.
Got asked the other day, say Red Bull wanted us (they dont) would you take the name change if they made us into a consistent top 6 Prem side that win trophies every other year
I said yes is that bad?
He’ll be piping up at the end of January when we don’t sign anyone about how he’s got deals lined up to buy Gyokeres and Hamer back - but doug won’t pick up his calls with his offer to buy the clubI want Red Bull to buy us purely for the level of meltdown that William Storey would have.

A successful billionaire who’s heading space X, what’s not to like about him unless your jealousWhy does Musk have so many people licking his arse? Baffles me
How about because he’s spending a shit tonne of money on a vanity space project when we have people starving and without homes on the planet we live on.A successful billionaire who’s heading space X, what’s not to like about him unless your jealous
Well we have a new manager who I assume has has a few promises made to him and has a lot of reorganisation work to do to make his team....Crikey we’re getting wound into a ball of angst about this window. January is always a damp squib. Not sure why we expect anything of significance.
Pretty sure Musk called the guy who saved loads of kids stuck caving in Mexico a pedo…. Awful.How about because he’s spending a shit tonne of money on a vanity space project when we have people starving and without homes on the planet we live on.
Thinks he can tell the UK government what to do and he isn't even heavily involved in us.A successful billionaire who’s heading space X, what’s not to like about him unless your jealous
He’s going to go eventually, as much as we shouldn’t sell him this jan if the money is right then we’ll have tooRoma are also in the hunt for MVE….
bidding war isn’t a bad outcome
Spot onHe’s going to go eventually, as much as we shouldn’t sell him this jan if the money is right then we’ll have too
There was an article in the national press last December time.
It surprised me that no one seemed to pick up on it.
The general thrust was Coventry had thrown money around but the money spent - especially on wages - was unsustainable and King had realised it.
More recently, you can see articles out there - the latest being in Leeds Live - that Coventry City’s financial problems are being acknowledged and Cov need to sell.
I would suggest a reasonable assessment is that City are now more likely to be relegated in the next say 5 years, than get promoted.
The high water tide was last season.
Glad we can finally agree on something lolSpot on
This is it
Hence why the money tree can't be shaken anymore
If we sold our best assets again we would then have another windfall.Sorry but considering the windfall we got that’s criminal mismanagement.

I think the issue now is that we would need to sell many more than 2 players to realise that value.

Ask his kids or his ex wife what he's like, maybe. Bloke is a Bond Villain without the intelligence.
You would sell after 2 years if you only owned the Pokémon cards for 3-4 years then you might have to give them away for free.I mean yeah and if I spent my lottery win on Pokémon cards I’d be able to sell them too, but I shouldn’t have to within two years.
Is this not the whole idea though ? Sell players on for profit . You would expect that if players receive a 3 or 4 year contract a reasonable time to sell would be with one or two years left on it . I take journalistic stuff like this with a pinch of salt unless they can back it up with actual numbersI mean yeah and if I spent my lottery win on Pokémon cards I’d be able to sell them too, but I shouldn’t have to within two years.
Yes except we spent millions more in the summer so the narrative doesn't quite follow. Seems to be more that he's willing to spend as much as possible from transfers and commercials without having to put much in himself.This is it

Least we’ll finally get Jamie Paterson inThis is it
