Well

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it.

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development. - Then we're in the same situation we were in but with a new owner who is planning on making us debt free and potentially competitive.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it. - He either backs out leaving the club a chance to buy it -or- he decides stadium ownership is fine and we're in step 1.

Who are you???

Simon Giblet

 

[torchomatic]

Just woke up from a little doze... or did I? Am I awake now or what????

Yes, don't worry. Mike McGinnity is still in charge. What dis you dream about?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m just gonna wait until Jan 31st to decide.

he probably is linked to SISU but if he chucks a few million in for Robins to manoeuvre in the transfer market I’ll be happy

 

[skybluetony176]

So is he a local businessman because he has one business amongst many that just happens to be located in Stratford or is he actually from Coventry/Warwickshire?

Because on the former basis Coventry/Warwickshire has several Sports Directs so Mike Ashley is a local business man before he even builds his new HQ at Ansty.

There seems to be a lot of deliberate wordplay going on in briefings and statements.

You’ll forgive me if I don’t get the bunting out just yet. Years of SISU has taught me to be sceptical, before you even consider the what looks like very deliberate timing of all this.

 

[Evo1883]

Do you think that will happen?

Mike ashley will see through this. He could easily do what the council done and fuck up sisu which means messing us up. That’s my concern. We’ve been here before and look what happened. Sisu playing politics with our club again

Let's wait and see , big day tomorrow

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Look at the headline. Local businessman buys club. It gets fans onside. Also it puts pressure on ashley about buying the ground tomorrow. Timing is impeccable.

Fans are already on side mate apart from you . Interesting

 

[Balli001]

Why does it say initially ?

Because it mentions initially in any stadium purchase

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Let's wait and see , big day tomorrow

Looking at Gilbert’s tweet, maybe they don’t need Mike to pull out. They just need the exclusivity deal to expire. Then it’s game on

 

[CCFCSteve]

Well

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it.

The goalposts might've moved though (excuse the pun ) if the court hearing is adjourned tomorrow, exclusivity period lapses and other bidders come to the party

Ashley might’ve wanted stadium only at a certain price, could be different if the above happens

 

[ceetee]

So it's not credible that Ashley would have an interest in the club because he hasn't been named explicitly in connection with it, as a complete unknown just took an 85% shareholding out of the blue?

Well perhaps Ashley thought, if he got hold of the Stadium complex, he would be the only game in town when it came to making an offer for CCFC. Well he's not the only game in town.

Strangely people were sympathetic to Ashley because they accused SISU of not putting in an early bid because they thought they were the only game in town.

Hypocrisy runs rife

Are they? So your happy sisu are playing politics with our club again? Because I’m not. This could backfire big time

 

[Evo1883]

If we end up owning the stadium, then sisu will have played an absolute blinder here , one none of us saw coming

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Agenda? I want what’s best for my club. This fake takeover isn’t that

How come you only joined in august my friend?

Yeah to try and get that to drop, ACL into admin and bid.

 

[shmmeee]

Jeez i thought you was in the know, having contributed in about 100 pages of this bollocks and now you ask the most basic of question..is it in Ashleys hands?

What the fuck has ever given you the impression I’m in the know?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

The full statement says the structure of the stadium bid will ensure CCFC remains “INITIALLY” debt free

This means nothing. I must be plain dumb, im getting confused.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Assume SISU think he wants the club.

If they think that it's plain daft to not have had talks with him.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Agenda? I want what’s best for my club. This fake takeover isn’t that

For what it's worth (which is obviously nothing), I agree with the position you're taking on this. My guess is the 'takeover' offer will fall away very quickly, with blame apportionments being discussed for a good while into the future.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Does anybody know if any money has changed hands in this sale, also if Ashley has suddenly developed a case of the hee bee gee bees and pulls out it doesn't mean sisu automatically get the stadium.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Are they? So your happy sisu are playing politics with our club again? Because I’m not. This could backfire big time

Where have you been?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Correction in the loop on here. Not in the know.

 

[GIMOC]

sorry didn’t realise I couldn’t join in august. must mean I’m mole. you need to stay off the drugs. My friend

 

[Nick]

If they think that it's plain daft to not have had talks with him.

Or maybe they have, hence they did this.

 

[David O'Day]

Just chuckle at him, it's sad that the only way he can get attention is pissing on people chips

 

[richnrg]

There might be no money involved. He could have taken on the debt only.

Yes. It says he is going to 'acquire' 85%. No mention of buying/investing in anything at all.

 

[no_loyalty]

The worst case is Ashley pulls out of bid, King (who is an associate of Joy) buys club and stadium, then sells both to Sisu. Council are done over, and we are stuck with Sisu.

Doom - Gloom - more doom & even more gloom!!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If he really wanted the stadium and just that, he won't care about this late development. - Then we're in the same situation we were in but with a new owner who is planning on making us debt free and potentially competitive.

If he wanted the club as well, he'll have to decide if he can be bothered carrying on without it. - He either backs out leaving the club a chance to buy it -or- he decides stadium ownership is fine and we're in step 1.

So either way we're owned by a middle man and still not the same entity controlling the stadium.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Or maybe they have, hence they did this.

Also possible.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

I smell a rat on this Pete, I wouldn't be going all in on people that are sceptical.

 

[Sbarcher]

Seems CCC are happy for MA to get the stadium but still refuse to be involved with SISU. Easily sorted, SISU transfer to a puppet so all is well.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

Fans are already on side mate apart from you . Interesting

Are you blind? There is sensibly, given Sisu’s record and how this has come out of the blue at this time, a healthy level of scepticism by many until we get more detail.

 

[TomRad85]

Even if its SISU biting back at the councils shady dealings, it's still funny. Let's just see how it plays out instead of losing the plot.
