They have a track record in this, which suggest Keys is just being a bit of a plonker.
I doubt anyone would be prepared to wait around for a long time to take over a sports team.

My betting is neither of the two bids are that serious.
He isn't chairman of CBS since April.

I really can’t fathom why you’d bid now. Any of the finance/business experts on here shed any light?

I don’t think he’d be that bothered if he was making money off us and the stadium.

Seems to me like he's a character who wants to be part of the action rather than just a passenger.

If she hasn't already done a deal with Mike Ashley, imho, Joy will meet more than her match if she wants to fight this battle.
Personally think Ashley would destroy her.

I think it will start a bidding war - Ashley vs Sisu vs McEvoy Billionaire vs NEC. There is potential it could increase the price is my guess.

It's business, but it is personal entertainment as well.

That's conjured a horrible image in my head.
It could be very long winded. Would there not be other clubs where the process would be a lot quicker? Champ is full of big clubs who could go to the prem with the right investment.

She won't be walking straight for a while after

He already would be if he owned the Arena - he’d hardly be a passenger in the whole thing.

Unless she’s on top I doubt she’d walk again.

But that’s good, right? Opens the door for Sisu+Yanks?

Im not sure anything is going to be good in this whole scenario, when is it ever?

At the Higgs today and told by an itk there is one preferred bidder, not Ashley, which is opposite to what Keys has supposedly said.

He would be in regard to the sport.

Did they tell you who it was?

With you on this but then again I’m always the pessimist but I just can’t see any of this being good for the club in the short term.

Looking at it I think ACL going into admin and Dawkins and Sisu getting involved is our only hope. Of course maybe Ashley does want the club and Richard Keys is still a hairy prick.

Everything in the last year points to Ashley wanting back into football. Linked with Derby, Sheffield United etc. Getting the CBS would be the first step imo.

So who is preferring the bidders?
That was my favourite bit

So the distress level will get turned up on CCFC.
Where are we getting moved to next then?

That sounds like good fun.

Agree with this take.
I think Ashley would want the club eventually but we will be fucked by the time he got it. At the end of the day he’s a businessman not a fan. He couldn’t give a monkeys if he’d took us to cleaners before purchasing us. He was hardly bothered by 40,000 angry newcastle fans.
Indeed but possibly not at this time which could be why there are rumours he isn’t
