If they do all know each other, could it be that Ashley flips the stadium to King, King sells the club back to SISU, (perhaps keeping a healthy share) and CCC are completely outmaneuvered?
I think that's to do with timing though. If not for the court case yesterday, they probably would have delayed announcing him as the new owner until after EFL approval, at which time he will be free to say a lot more. No point until then Really.
