You may be right, but I’d get the sense that MA is the type of bloke who would ultimately sign off any deal like this. Whoever signed it off would have ultimately had to get Mike’s ok. Probably. Presumably.

A lot can change in 5 years. The Uni project did seem kinda sensible so we 5 years rather than 10 or longer keeps that option on the distant back burner. This is good news. Lots of options. We get promoted and Doug can take a quick profit if he sells the club. Frasers can have a quick...

No Wasps. That’s that. Good one Doug👍🏼

The cost of money has gone up so I’d expect the rent to go up. Borrowing 17m (or not having 17m to put on deposit) or whatever Frasers did will cost a lot more with inflation and int rates than it did a couple of years back. Building a £100m stadium will cost huge interest, so we don’t have a...

Great news on the face of it - CCFC are safe. Always like to look at reasons for timings and paranoid that MA is a greedy / opportunistic fugger who was interested in Wasps who still haven’t got a stadium. Just did a quick search and apparently Wasps asked the RFU for a year’s grace to get...

Rotherham losing last night gave them a bit of extra hope. That’s another team in theoretical range for them (a draw would have left a 6 point gap with a big GD to chase) C’mon Blackpool

Just looking at the Cardiff v Rotherham match and their run in fixture list to see if we had a preference for tonight. Only thing I can see is that Rotherham have Middlesbrough before us so we want Rotherham fired up and fighting and softening Middlesbrough up? Rotherham have Wigan after which...

Good point. I’ve a feeling it’ll be down to us or Sunderland last day. We might only need a draw. Middlesbrough is a long way. Would we get a points deduction if the team coach broke down and we kicked off 15 mins late…..?

Great result for us. They slip back in terms of points and GD. In our hands. MR needs to go full Monty on everything - get the stadium blessed by clergy, faith healers, sports psychologists and hypnotists surveillance to make sure no one spikes Vik’s milk if he gets it delivered to his...

Having MA as an owner would mean that other clubs think we are loaded and transfer fees go up. The confidence that King displayed by buying SISU out without a stadium deal (and it is a big risk) did previously make me suspect that he might be a “front” (in which case not a bad plan). Bottom...

Imagine being SISU if we go up: Had years of stress and having to put money in and a few weeks later we hit the jackpot. Wounded.

I moved to South Sheffield a few years back, my 11 y.o. Daughter (born Sheffield) is just at that stage where she is becoming a blades fan. It’s hard to get her to follow the Sky Blues, and I can’t really call her a sell out - SUFC is her home town club. I refused to take her to Wembley at the...

10-15 years ago there was the “Rivals” platform, Telegraph Forum etc. Bob Bones, anyone remember him? Total random. I think this will stay the main non social media platform (Twitter/ FB/IG) platform. I thought Rivals was a good concept, surprised only us and one other club (Everton?) got...

Good point about the Butts - play off final? Semi Final Middlesbrough? (If CBS can’t be used) Edit: no idea why I’ve put Semi Final Middlesbrough. Got it in my head we are playing Boro in the Semis and Luton in the final. Totally ahead of myself. Mad.

Put a big screen at Ryton and stream the game. Charge £20 and have a pop up bar and a few burger vans, a stall selling Cov stuff…. Might make a few quid.

Next up Blackburn v Burnley. “Cotton Mills Derby” We’re all Burnley fans tonight I guess. Burnley might not want to take their foot off the gas for this one.

There was slight contact in the Morris pen so he won’t get a Godden style ban. WRT VAR I think there are times when it should be used but not for every incident and thereby not ruin the flow of the game. I remember the debate about technology in cricket, and TBF I think they’ve got it about...

Whatever the outcome we need to get our act together for the play off first leg. Huge potential income (are ST’s valid)?

Will we get more money for away seats than home seats? Are we charging £30 odd quid like Sunderland? I guess charging Brum full money for 2000 extra seats is better than us low selling the 2000 - some to kids and JSB etc.

Nor would Boro fancy playing them. Maybe they’d prefer 4th to 3rd….
