    Alright then, she’s totally played the game wrong and deserves nothing. Better? You win the internet points.

    Not saying she’s blameless but I’m allowed to feel sorry for her. Get back in your box.

    Hindsight. It’s the Ranson and Ken and Ogwe characters that I hold responsible. They come in and act clever with other peoples money than scarper when they get it wrong. Poor Joy was backstage then but was left holding a poor hand.

    That it’s not worth that and nobody bid that are two different things. As I said. Let’s see if DK ups his bid.

    True. Looks like she had some bad advice from those around her. She learned to late. I still feel sorry for her. She became more humanist toward the end.

    That it would be £35m. Yep. Got that wrong. Clearly worth that and surprised that underhand tactics combined with gross ineptitude meant MA nicked it. I’ll own my hubris. You’ve owned me chief. However, if DK ups his £25m to £35m…..(unlikely)

    I said SISU couldn’t afford to sell for less than £60m and the club wasn’t necessarily worth that and they couldn’t crystallise their losses. I’m not sure that was wrong.

    Yep, I’ve said that a couple of times. You might be right.

    That there is a problem. There was a chance they could have. £17m for the stadium and then sell the lot for £75m Stadium could be worth £35m, Squad etc. £40m (….waits for some asshole to argue figures for sake of looking a c**t - you know who you are) They had a real chance. Totally blew it...

    Sounds like a last minute patsy. A mechanism to try to get the CBS last minute and split the ownership structure of CCFC. Maybe he (DK) has deeper pockets than JS and is less likely to be bullied into selling for a tin of beans. That’s how it comes over.

    Long shot. Problem is that if MA starts bringing his empire to the City and buying a few lunches and tracksuits for the “squeaky clean” City Council chumps then getting things done in this City will be down to MA. Corrupt. Lot of them.

    I’m going to suggest some form of ITK as I said. There today, looks like has access to confidential documents. Some hint financial nouse. One to watch……

    Standing back: It cost £1m (plus vat) to buy a stadium that cost £115m for £15m. Argue the value all you like - £30m whatever, don’t care but we will never build another CBS for £15m. It’s a steal. It’s the worst £1m Joy never spent.

    Maybe he’s a mechanism whereby someone can buy ownership and Joy can park her 15% waiting for a jackpot.

    Just too late to the party. As I said elsewhere, critical points of divergence were missed such as open bidding deadline. Today we were told by DK that Joy didn’t have the resources. It makes sense that she just could get her ducks lined up and has missed the boat.

    He might not want to add another appearance fee to the costs. Shrewd.
