Yeah and I’m not saying it’s true but looks likely
Yeah and I’m not saying it’s true but looks likelyWell I’ve said they have - I think what Pete has been told is they were stitched up as a pre pack was agreed by all parties in advance of administration so all other bids were never considered
Thing is Ashley was offered pre pack and preferred bidder status etc
Council/ACL pushed it through quickly to avoid an open market admin knowing the only other show in town was SISU.
As i said the other day, this is what i meant by council still having snouts in the trough

Certainly on paper yep although he’s clearly a xxntIn return Ashley can actually bring a lot of jobs and genuine investment into the stadium and local economy. SISU can’t.
Must have mustn’t heHe must though have got a deal struck with Richardson as the primary unsecured creditor?

Not really angry just hugely frustratedWhy are you so angry about all this?
I absolutely take that point I really do but it’s people like him making so much money that means we can’t invest in basics as a society like good education for all for instanceIf he brings some prosperity to the city during these dark economic times then I’m not sure he is as much of one as you suggest.
As for the comically poorly named Joy who you seem to have been speaking to-she has brought nothing but unhappiness and bitter feeling in her 15 years here.

If we acknowledge that capitalism with accountability is the best form of society the likes of Ashley are the worst form of winners in the model of capitalism without accountability
I think that’s why I’m so angry about him personally
He does it’s a balance isn’t itHe employs over 25,000 people.

CourseIm pretty sure Ms Seppala doesn’t live in rented accommodation and shops at Aldi.
Ashley I suppose is proof if nothing else that education is not a pre-cursor to huge wealth

Come on mate - you can’t blame the council for this oneBe nice if ccc bent over backwards to support organisations and individuals in the city as much as they did with wasps and they appear to be doing with him
You don’t think abhorrent private wealth is a stain on our society?I disagree, that’s down to political choices made as a country. As for Ashley the evidence points to him wanting to set up shop in a particular area and build something long term. If he does then the city as a whole benefits.
SISU are a hedge fund. Looking like Ashley to seize on distressed businesses for their own profit. They’re just a lot worse at it than he is.
Who would they have dealt with or deal with ??Come on mate - you can’t blame the council for this oneSISU could have pre-packed this themselves - they didn’t because they were waiting until it was worth pennies. I get the strategy
Ashley comes in before admin and buys it. Not a lot the council could do really
He does it’s a balance isn’t it
Do you know anyone employed by him and their terms and conditions?
Right. Tax businesses so much that they flag out abroad and we get less tax revenue to pay for the basics of society, borrow, devalue sterling etc.I absolutely take that point I really do but it’s people like him making so much money that means we can’t invest in basics as a society like good education for all for instance
They may be supporting it but they’re not the decision makers. It’s a deal that’s gone through a private entity and the administrators.Who would they have dealt with or deal with ??
The council appear to be supporting in lots of ways

It’s a balance it’s capitalism with regulation . Private wealth is at abhorrent levels. Your challenge is one that local councils and Westminster and the eu have to consider of courseRight.

The EU playbook accelerated.
Fair comment. I should know more about what sisu as a business have specifically been involved in. I understand how hedge funds work of courseI don’t like huge wealth and income inequality but Mike Ashley personally isn’t to blame for how that system came into being. Again, we’re owned by an even more predatory type of capitalist.
Maybe call Joy a c**t too if you’re being consistent.

No administrators they aren’t in admin are they?They may be supporting it but they’re not the decision makers. It’s a deal that’s gone through a private entity and the administrators.
there was nothing stopping SISU making a bid
if they did make a bid and it was not considered that’s a different matter
I’m sureI think if some billionaire sheik with a dodgy human rights record bought ccfc and promised a £500 million transfer war chest as a start most supporters would cheer from the rooftops

Exactly - football fans are the biggest hypocrites in the world.I think most with objections to Ashley would similarly drop these if he took over and gave Robins £20 million to spend
Fair comment. I should know more about what sisu as a business have specifically been involved in. I understand how hedge funds work of course
They are now. But the deal was made prior to admin with the administrators. It’s a “when you go to admin I’ll make this bid” dealNo administrators they aren’t in admin are they?

Give me success and I’ll take a donnay kit off the rack with the CCFC badge and Sport direct on itAnd to be honest if he’s willing to properly bankroll the club to the tune of millions or tens of millions he has the right to put what he wants on the stadium or kit. You would just hope that he sees our preference for more unique kits as a selling point

SISU know how to do this, but they’ve chosen the wrong time… again
