Mickey Adams has stated: “Mickey Adams is not the preferred bidder for the Arena”As a small aside, I do wish we could stop abbreviating to MA. I keep thinking Mickey Adams is the new owner of the Arena!

Have you worked in retail? That’s not limited to Sport Direct
Shock horror..... business man runs company to make profit for shareholders.
If you don't like it don't buy shares and don't work there !!! Simple.
Not sure, so I’ll ask.I don't buy shares. Luckily I don't have to work for this company.
People don't always have a choice as to where they work, if there is a large conglomerate in the town which has put smaller companies out of business there is often little choice. Where do you draw the line with this argument? Children working 16 hour days with bleeding fingers in cold conditions working for pennies? There should be proper labour laws to create fair working conditions so people can work hard and live normal lives. This capitalist model you seem to favour, allows an individual to become a billionaire whilst many employees don't know whether they have any hours until the weekend before and they get paid minimum wage which isn't enough for rent and bills. I don't like it and I don't want someone who operates like that to be running our football club. I'm not really sure why my opinion has triggered you so much.

The Pope?There are no moral billionaires.
I don’t like a billionaire gambling tycoon funding Stoke through a business which relies on exploiting an addiction but was told it was ‘local boy helping local club’.
It's the sad truth that the only way a football club can be successful is with a wealthy owner bankrolling. Who knows who the people who own us now are, they're probably just as bad. There is an element of acceptance with this stuff but having spent years despising the clubs owns by oligarchs and nation states, it's going to be difficult to feel good about Mike Ashley running the club. So while everyone seems to be getting excited I'm having hard time getting used to the idea.
I’m not convinced that some of the SISU investors have a clue that their money has been spent / invested on men in the U.K. kicking a round ball around.“ Who knows who the people who own us now are, they're probably just as bad. “
Someone mentioned it, so here it is View attachment 27044
On the Mail website, it states he is looking to get CCFC at a knockdown price as the owner of the Stadium. I wonder if Joy has capitulated this time

AHEAD OF THE GAME: Ashley lays ground work for cut-price Coventry bid
MATT HUGHES: The former Newcastle United owner is ready to do a deal that will enable the Sky Blues to continue playing at the troubled Coventry Building Society Arena.www.dailymail.co.uk
Just speculation from the looks of that “could”
Conjecture or he has a source or some PR.
Cites there ground as their ground as in us.
Ashley has stated he's not buying us.
On the cheap is in the headline but not mentioned further down in the photo section?
If he buys the stadium it gives him a great opportunity to buy the club at a very cheap price as the club has virtually no assets.What does 'on the cheap' even mean? Obviously the club is less valuable without the stadium, but he is also buying the stadium so combined isn't 'cheap'.
I genuinely think if he buys the ground it wouldn't be long before Sisu sell to him. It's an easy out where they will recoup respectable money for there investors and the game would be up regarding sisu stadium ownership

Well, that's the thing, no-one's said anything! None of the parties have even confirmed their bids, so it's left for journos/us to fill the void with conjecture.Has he stated he’s not interested?

Exactly MD, exactly right.Well, that's the thing, no-one's said anything! None of the parties have even confirmed their bids, so it's left for journos/us to fill the void with conjecture.
A franchise for MLS is what, $200m to enter the league?Ccfc value with the Otium debt in reality is £1 - it’s a case of how much of the £20m debt a buyer would settle out. Can’t see it being very much - the clubs only assets are players and a new buyer will just say they are required anyway
A franchise for MLS is what, $200m to enter the league?
What is an established brand in the Championship worth? Nothing on your assertion.
You, sir, are totally clueless.
Stick to sarky comments.
Clueless.The club has £20 million debt and no assets
I’m still waiting for the bizarre logic Ashley has to pay £35m for the lease. He doesn’t
In next weeks exciting episode;
Ccfc increase its wage bill to £4 million
Seppala is prepared to sell for £55 million - a queue forms round the stadium
A 7 foot 5 striker is found in wildest Borneo and ccfc send Andy thorn to scout the emerging talent
Clueless.
Problem is we'd have Steve Bruce managing themNothing I want more than Ashley to buy us and build around our top players rather than stick with sisu and flog them all. We're so close
