Hey guys, this show was on last night at 6PM. Managed to clip it and can share it without having to use the BBC Sounds stuff.
Here it is.

Pretty tearful listening to that remembering many long phone conversations with many of the key players
Doug talks so well and is such a great leader and decision maker
Gives out praise to all those around him and identifies the skills needed that he doesn’t have
Totally won me over
Fearful of the lack of a board and how much is down to one person but interested how he’ll sort rather than scared he won’t

Why wouldn’t you just use BBC Sounds?
I think the rights are a bit weird so I don't know if it is available outside the UK.

Key things
1 Doug admits Robins and Boddy saved the club and he would not have bought in if we weren’t at that level
2 He said we would give it a go in the premier league but he would need help ( investment ) as he couldn’t do it alone
3 said he is warming the council up on infrastructure due to the massive benefits it would bring to the city

It’s a 239 year lease or something. Was 250 when Wasps extended in 2014 not sure if it’s been extended again. In reality the only difference would be if we tried to knock it down and build some houses or whatever they’d probably be able to stop us under the terms of the lease. Otherwise it’s effectively ours, it’s not like we have to ask if we want to build or whatever.

CCC own the freehold but the I think lease still has about 240 years to run so unless the club disappears in a puff of smoke I think it's largely irrelevant.
Frasers Group takes over lease of Coventry FC’s home ground CBS Arena
The sportswear tycoon’s retail group secured the lease after the appointment of administrators.

Do we need planning permission to build another tier on it???

I’d assume yes because you’re adding another few thousand to the infrastructure around.

Point 2 for me reinforces my belief that king isn’t going to be here for long,
it’s get in get out with as much money as he can - can’t fault him, he doesn’t have the capital to maintain a prem side. So why stick around for the stress

I could see him maintaining a presence. He’s clearly enjoying being in football

He’s enjoying it because it’s all going swimmingly.
Regardless of being realistic or not, there’s gonna be a section of fans who will be raging and booing if we’re bottom next season and not winning every other week
he wasn’t keen on the flack over the robins sacking.

I thought he took the flak like a man to be honest.
He held that fans forum when he could’ve just hid away

He absolutely did and he hasn’t rubbed people’s noses in it
