MIKE ASHLEY PREFERRED BIDDER

but he doesn’t want the club


Doom and gloom continues

[shmmeee]

The latest is Ashley is preferred but he doesn’t want either club, just the arena

Is this from Keys or somewhere else?

Can’t write it

Keys

 

[Nick]

Will there be loads of conditions that are never upheld again?

 

[shmmeee]

So basically it’s bollocks until proven otherwise.

Only sources I’ll listen to at this point are Gilbert and SaddleBrains. And I’ve got my doubts about SaddleBrains

 

[Great_Expectations]

Well that escalated since my lunch read.

What a rollercoaster and have to say I’ve come off it not excited at all.

Tbf to @Saddlebrains I had heard very similar with some slight differences. It then went a bit quieter and worrying, then positive again.

Been quiet last 24 hours and I guess this is why.

I’m really not excited by the Ashley stuff. Especially if it is linked to Hoffman (rumoured).

 

[OyJimmy]

I suspect Ashley would buy CCFC but not at the price SISU will demand. Ultimately it’s clear that to move forward we either build our own stadium or SISU cut their losses and get what they can. Some realism from SISU is needed.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

The Ashley preferred bidder is just the usual Telegraph rehash and taking Keyes tweet for gospel again.

 

[wingy]

I mean if Ashley really set aside 50 million for the Derby sale is it that out of the ordinary to think he'd go straight in?

It should be enough.

Those well-known writers of comic operas? Seems appropriate.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Sod this for now. There's a match on tonight.

Watch Ashley buy Nuneaton or the Brakes or similar and shift them to the CBS for the laugh, bankroll them to the league.

Satire. I hope.

 

[Philosoraptor]

5 Mins till the Match Thread kicks off - Team news.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Like this but it’s going to do better numbers and that’s going to infuriate me further.

Have a round of applause from the Trust

Who here thinks BSB is more of a laugh than LQ?

 

[no_loyalty]

Just seen Ashley’s helicopter fly over the CBS.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

YOU'RE having a laugh if you're...

 

[OyJimmy]

There is no way Ashley would be daft enough to say he wants either Cov or Wasps at this stage. More likely he’ll wait for Joy Sepalla to call and tell her she needs to pay more to use the ground or she can F off to Walsall or Northampton. Or of course he’ll give her 50p and a packet of Crisps for the club which she will gratefully accept.

More turbulence ahead I fear.

 

[clint van damme]

Love how Gilbert has morphed into Carl Bernstein during this saga.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Someone check the ratios quick.

 

[clint van damme]

Someone check the ratios quick.

LQ? Liquid quiche?

 

[wingy]

How long can they carry on pissing about like this before HMRC wind em up.

With the club stuck in the middle of it.

This is the kind of shit the council should be ensuring doesn't happen to CCFC any more.

 

[Liquid Gold]

LQ? Liquid quiche?

Likely queasy

 

[CCFC_Irish]

The council don't seem to get the survival and success of Coventry FC is linked with increases tourism to the city.

 

[Esoterica]

Being a Cov fan is like playing Football Manager. I’m only interested in the matches but have to spend fucking hours understanding and going through all the off the field shit to get there.

Definitely on topic for this thread.

Is it goodbye - finally - to the fax machine?

Ofcom is consulting on changes to telecoms rules that could see fax machines become obsolete.

The machine that goes byng..

 

[shmmeee]

What do people want the council to do exactly?

 

[wingy]

Did Clive just say there is another ten day extension?
Or was he referring to the previous which left us wondering if and where we play.

Stop twirling their handlebar moustaches, and cackling maniacally

 

[hill83]

Eat some questionable pink chicken

It's quite obvious, Shmmeee, The bid which has the best chance of actually using the Arena for sport.

Which was what the Arena was actually designed for.

Just helping out the mushrooms at the council.

Not SISU then
