Quite the line up indeed.
Doug king warming up on the sidelines trying to catch Judges eye. Judge not keen on subs at this late stage, would rather Ashley finish the game

If Storey is involved, that's a disaster. Anyone who knows what malarkey he got upto with the Haas F1 team will know why. He's a bloody fraud, and a nut.

I read about him when it was first mentioned, looked at his accounts and any evidence of this huge sports drink he was selling. Empty.
Looks like a publicity seeking Walt.

I think when you stand back and assess the potential if this is all unpicked:
Someone might end up with a stadium that cost £100m plus for a fraction of that and have a SISU who is holding debt at the beginning of a recession over a barrel. King or no King, this could be an opportunity for a bargain.

Yep, promised a substantial sum, it simply didn't exist. Then spent several months on social media going off on some deranged lunacy about it.

Christ this is bizarre. The bondholders crowd fund a legal campaign and then don't turn up in court, and the club is apparently sold twice in a day.
Coventry City, the legal and financial soap opera for those with a passing interest in football. We'd make a much better Netflix series than those northern or Welsh lot!

1. Do we know for certain it is non-refundable? For instance were King to get the ground would he have to pay MA? Or was the non-refundable clause a price for exclusivity, and exclusivity enabled MA to drive down the price?
2. Also I remain unconvinced that the poor relationship between SISU and CCC is sufficient to trump hard cash, If SISU come up with the money, CCC wll,be obliged to accept them. That has been my personal experience in business.
3. Ultimtely the odds are King is either some kind of sophisticated front for SISU or else he has paid top dollar for the Club because Joy would accept nothing less.
4. In a 'devil or thedeep blue sea' situation, I prefer the devil of MA to the deep blue sea of SISU or King as the possibility of some investment is there with MA but non-existent with SISU and an entirely unknown quantity with King. Has King got more backers to see the club grow in the future?
Gibbo remains deeply confused,

As I’ve said before, once all the documentation and real stories about the last few weeks come out: Wasps demise, Richardson, Bonds, Council, King etc., Gilbert could easily write a book.Christ this is bizarre.

(There’s a book called “Too Big To Fail” about the Financial crisis and every leading up to Leeman’s and Gordon Brown bailing out the banks. For a geeky subject it’s fascinating)
This would be far more interesting.

Refreshing honesty as opposed to the continuous “pretending to know what’s going on” that’s floating around.

On 1. Exclusivity payments either go towards the final payment or are lost if Ashley pulls out.

Still don’t understand why King didn’t bid “£35m to satisfy the bondholders claim in exchange for their charge including the £9m P Share charge”
King gets the Bonds pays off, assumes the rights of the Bondholder and charge holder might get £9m back meaning it’s all cost £26m not £25m and he occupies a stadium which he has a charge over.
I’m sure I must have missed something
