In terms of timing, I wrote before Ashley's 'preferred bidder' status had been confirmed. Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly certain it would never have come off, but the complete lack of response is vaguely interesting. I'm glad they never came back in many ways, personally I'd never want to be...

I wrote well before that was announced as being in place. Even then, the pending administrator could have replied to that effect without breaking any confidentially.

On the upside, if the sale is real and the debt to SISU/ARVO genuinely is cleared, whatever happens today I think we're in a better position than yesterday. Different landlord, quite likely, and maybe one who wants to takeover the club ultimately too, but still better than being under Wasps...

Are you back here posting about non football stuff again mate? You're going to make someone angry.... 😁

All joking aside, tried it mate, genuinely. I wrote very politely to the (potential) administrator asking, "if it were possible to develop a supporter-led buy out of ACL, what is the path to involving ourselves in the process?". No reply. I get that he might have thought that I was having a...

I don't suppose you could tide me over with a couple of million until pay day, could you mate? Gas bill has bottomed me out this month... 😁

I wonder if you and I are always destined to be on opposite sides of an argument. I had a listen this morning and thought, "sounds like a right chancer". 😄 I don't know mate, I suspect the one thing we will agree on is that the club feels forever destined to be at the whim of people who, at...

Quite the transformation. He's gone from Lego Emmet to Lego Gandalf. 😁 (With apologies if he ever reads this, but too hard to resist!)

"Sorry Sir, this is the Old Bailey. The 'warm bank' is two doors down."

10:30am kick off, but it's only available from abroad on ifollow. I hate these early kick offs, no time for a pint beforehand...

I'm expecting a Mission Impossible reveal in court today. King rips off his mask to reveal he is in fact Joy, and then just as it looks like SISU have finally won, Ashley pulls off his mask to reveal he is actually Reeves. (Duggins also pops out having been Mike Ashley's arse, pantomime horse...

In truth mate, I think expecting the EFL or FA to step isn't particularly likely. Whether that's positive or negative here I'm honestly not sure, but evidence suggests they rarely step up in these situations. For better or worse I'd guess this one plays out in court. It's like deja vu all over...

Only one I can answer with moderate confidence is the "shorting oil" one. If he's made a fortune out of it I think that implies that he closed his position (i.e. took his profit) long before it went back up to current levels. Everything else about this I'm clueless on! It'll be an interesting...

247 out of a good few million. It seems a remarkable coincidence to me. Doesn't necessarily invalidate anything, but does make me a bit nervous. Edit: Sorry, this is bollocks. The addresses are different on companies house. That bloke who posted it on twitter appears to be talking out of his...

That's an interesting take, I like it! What if Ashley follows through though, we end up with a new owner but a landlord at odds with the club.

Ashley on Friday morning: I'm sure I parked the stadium around here somewhere...

But that misses all of the fun stuff out.

Or, stick the old one on wheels, drag it over to Warwick Uni, quick paint job, change the number plates, and we're quids in. It's the Coventry way.

Also, Council involved in some kind of the behind the scenes chicanery, which in fairness you probably left out because it's a redundancy. 😄

Richardson's got the remote and is demanding £30m to hand it back (plus match funding from the council). 😁
