Once again there was a splash of talk on some football site picked up on my iphone that Everton are lining up a serious bid for Vik? I think this story will run and run. Frankly if Vik ever considered an early move to the prem in January, he would be mad to go to a club in transition, a manager...

Tough decision for the player. A prem team struggling is not the ideal place to go. After all we could conceivably get promoted ourselves. yes the wages would be higher but we can presumably offer him a new improved contract now Mr King is in the chair with bonus add ons for promotion and goals...

After the first round the sides looking good are England, France & Spain. Think the winner may come from one of them.

There's a lot of 'paper debt'. The actual hard debt in cash terms is more likely around 30m or less. This would be the figure I assume King has offered on for 85%. (I reckon 20m).

We will finish top 6. The caveat to that is keeping Vik and O'Hare. I read somewhere this morning that Burnley are preparing a bid for O'Hare again of £5m. Well that has to be a joke. I'd value O'Hare and Vik at 15m each tbf. A lot will now depend on the new owner (if it goes through btw) He has...

Well it's the outcome I expected. Not sure why King would take 85% of SISU's ownership without the arena? i think this will fall away and it will be Ashley that SISU have to broker a deal with. I guess SISU had hoped King's inclusion would ive them more gravitas in negotiation with Ashley -...

I imagine SISU keeping a 15% stake is temporary. Will this guy take the club if they are not successful at getting the stadium? Mike Ashley could up his bid. What are the grounds for being a preferred bidder? is King's bid for the club based on getting the arena? Are we sure it's nor April...

That's one of your most ridiculous comments I've heard in a while.

I think we have to wait and see what transpires over the Mike Ashley saga first. I know it's not been said he is intrested in CCFC but then why would it? I do think that will be his end game - stadium and club. If that materialises then expect a completely different outlook come January and a...

Robin's has done remarkably well and long may it continue, but don't underestimate the importance of Vivash to his success. they are a team and should he ever go then Vivash would go with him. i just hope he stays and see's through his job by getting all the way up from league 2 and back to the...

We should not fear anyone in this league. All are winable games but football is never like that or rarely at least. We have just won 4 on the spin and the odds of 9 on the spin are against us regardless of opposition. So i'll take 3 wins, a draw and a defeat. That will put us firmly in a...

Yes Iagree. It is all speculation at this point, but clairty of how things could go is important to understand. I'm just saying how I would see it. I've bought and sold half a dozen businesses in my time (freehold and leasehold) so feel qualified to make my comments. It will be very interesting...

That doesn't mean the rent.

Which will not happen.

Again naive to think this. imagine if you owned the stadium - it was your business and an outsider had control of what rent you should charge a tenant in your stadium? Even if true, (which I highly doubt) Ashley would have that removed.

The council have little control over anything other than assigning the lease.

Shmmeee don't be so naive.

No. In business that's not how things unfold. Mike Ashley is far too wise a cookie for that. He would say now or not at all. Imagine if SISU upset him and he puts the rent up so high in the coming years that SISU would be the ones being leveraged just like they tried to do to WASP a few years...

If SISU miss the golden opportunity to get from under their nightmare and come out clean they would be incompetent to say the least. Selling assets like Gyokeres in January may look good short term but should relegation then follow, SISU are back in the wilderness again with a continuing...

I've said before SISU will sell once we got the tenancy at the Arena sorted which they did and we stablelised in the championship. Thank goodness that was done before WASPS when under! Now an opportunity presents itself in the form of Mike Ashley. If I was Mike Ashley I would be buying that...
