    Doug King Takeover

    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.

    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). 😁

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Never underestimate their lack of competence or level of drunkenness either. I'd be surprised if it was an intentional attack on Poland, it's very close to the border, but you can never be sure if it's Putin stirring the pot though. Not a good outcome for Russia either way imho, it'll just...

    Shake it off. 😁

    I think that is exactly the long and short of it - I don't think SISU have sufficient funds to put in a plausible bid. Picking it up on the very cheap from admin was probably their only chance. (I've got a pet theory that they never really recovered from the credit crunch back in 2008.) That...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Respect that point of view mate, but what I'd say is that it's entirely possible that SISU are incompetent/reckless/broke *and* that the Council have also been doing what they've done in the past, i.e. trying to do backhanded deals and influence things in secret (with similar levels of...

    Because accusing someone of working for Wasps/SISU/CCC on the basis of a post you might disagree with is a bit juvenile, maybe? If you want to challenge something he's said, challenge it on the facts, rather than on some assumed motive.

    I think the argument I'd make, were I representing the bondholders, is that the Trustee has not attempted to gauge the true opinion of the bondholders and therefore cannot say whether they are content to release their security or not. His inaction now is in fact a deliberate choice to...

    And sometimes the creditors are upset because the people acting in their interests, in this case the Trustee and the Administrator, do not appear to be acting in their best interests. You don't generally get 100 people crowdfunding legal action unless they feel as though there's been some...

    No mate, that would be like supporting Wasps. I'd never feel clean again. 😁 It's just I can see why they feel cheated and I've got an intense dislike of lying liars like CCC and Wasps getting away with it. I've only ever had a share (via the family) in CCFC, and SISU got that bugger off us...

    As every Councillor has made clear *after* the outcry started... Before that it was all in secret, like the original bail out of the arena where the story was squashed by the council when Les Reid found out about it, and like the secret deal to sell to Wasps. Sooner or later mate, you're...

    I've already been throwing tomato soup at a picture of Duggins, but the missus told me that I was being silly and I should just grow up and finish my dinner.

    Whether he thinks Duggins is simple or not doesn't come into it. He can't just imply to Wasps that he can get £30m of match-funding without some sort of concept that it's feasible. This obviously wasn't done on a whim. There's obviously been something going on with the Council leaders, remember...

    It's only 45p in the pound to the bondholders if they get everything offered, but the deal as quoted on ADVFN is that the payment is split across *all* creditors. I'm not clear on how much debt there is, but I seriously doubt the bondholders will end up with 45p in the pound if this goes through.
