One thing to note is smart business people tend to learn from their mistakes... hopefully Ashley would be less trigger happy. Also it depends what the manager promises the owner. If I was in Robins shoes I'd only ask for a few million this season if it was to happen and say we may fluke it up on...

I was talking overall project cost. You can't ignore the cost of getting out of the ground. It would be 20% of the rebuild cost.

Ahhh OK I thought you had a tax avoidance scheme in mind 🤣. I'm not aware of any avoidance scheme but I'm not an expert either! Someone much cleverer than me will know.

So many different variables. How would it save tax? Are you thinking x number of years of losses can be put towards later years profits?

There is that but then I don't get why he wouldn't say leave the stadium to me and I will buy the club for X after. The theory that having two potential buyers in the room vs the others isn't a bad one. Get one to offer a silly amount (25m) based on due diligence which they knew would drop it a...

If everyone was in the loop why not sell to Ashley direct? If he is an Ashley stooge you'd expect he'd have been sent in to buy 100% of the club without the billionaire status to keep the cost low then Ashley buy his companies off him...

I understand why they have done it from a SISU perspective but I don't imagine Ashley as someone who would want less than 100% could be wrong of course!

Ahhhh so essentially take control of the holding group. Interesting. I bet Sisu retaining 15% will be a bit of a fly in the ointment!

Been open 15 years though as a unique building you'd expect it's also around 10% of construction value which again doesn't surprise me.

I assume if he is a stooge @better days it will be after he gets approved by the EFL takes the 85% he then flips it to Ashley?

Not really sure why people are worried about this type of money... Ashley will have done his due diligence and this will have been part of the numbers. I have been in multiple companies where this has been the investment budget I have looked after for a year (sometimes significantly more) let...

I don't get how it's such a leap to him being interested in buying CCFC, if he had never owned a club before and not bid for Derby and had no interest in football I'd get it but he has... essentially he could see it as a hobby over a money making exercise. The reality is not many people know if...

I think that CBS certainly got a good deal. There will be an element of is the Ashley group someone they want to be associated with anyway. Think only time will tell on that front.

Believe not but likely to be able to review if they continue their sponsorship given change of ownership. You'd also assume ashley would want to buy them out.

Had hoped there would be more of an end game today. Looks like Ashley will take over the stadium and the naming rights. So will King take ownership who knows... I wanted it to go Sisu's way today which I think would have guaranteed a sale.

Fuck/yayyy

I'd have thought if it was just a judgement it would be done in minutes. Wonder if they are hearing further arguments...

Is VAR in use... just in case we need it...

Looks like it's less cut and dry than hoped by MA at this stage! Could still go his way of course!
