    Local business man from… err… err… Lowestoft? I’ve lived in Coventry and Warwickshire my whole life can’t say I’ve heard of a local place called Lowestoft.

    Public Enquiry into Sale to Wasps

    There’s clearly grounds for an enquiry for the proposed bailout and denials about that bailout. Enquiry into the initial sale of ACL to Wasp’s? What’s it going to say? In selling to Wasps CCC we’re then subsequently able to recover £14m (IIRC) in debt owed to the tax payers. Not exactly damming...

    Anyway. The B word

    None of that would leave the club “debt free” though would it, it would just mean that the debt has been transferred. So either the statement is misleading or the club is no longer in debt to SISU or any SISU associated companies or anyone else for the club to be “debt free”.

    You see him there and it all sounds very convincing. If this had have happened 6 months ago even 1 month I think I would have been willing to buy it. However it happened less than 24 hours before ACL was in court, on that basis I’m still not buying it. Let’s see if the EFL approve it and then...

    I recon he sees himself more as the man from Milk Tray these days 😄

    The club’s statement says “The deal will involve clearing all of the Club’s current debts, leaving it debt free.” So the suggestion seems to be that he’s taking an 85% share for clearing the debt. Would it not?

    Personally I find it hard to believe that Doug will ever own that 85%. My gut feeling is that it was a stunt before yesterday and leverage on the price that SISU end up selling 100% of the club to MA for. I think it’s about SISU putting a stake in the ground of the value of CCFC on the premise...

    I think there’s a reason we haven’t heard anything about the team. He isn’t going to be here for long if at all in reality. Unless the EFL has approved it overnight he currently owns nothing, we don’t even know if it’s been put to the EFL. All we’ve had is a statement of intent and an interview...

    Just been doing some extra reading on OMG Rich Energy and things went south midway through last season, they seen the season out as sponsors but it looks like that’s it for the partnership. OMG has declined to comment (other than a statement which says exactly what you say) on the matter but...

    Done alright in BSB this season but yeah… as you say. Character.

    He’s certainly a character. All I know about him is he sponsored OMG’s BSB team and they cleaned up this season, Brad Ray won the championship and OMG won the team’s.

    We don’t even know if it’s been put to the FL yet.

    Where’s William Storeys involvement come from? Have I missed/forgotten something? Assume he’s the Rich Energy guy who was allegedly part of a consortium trying to buy Sunderland at some point.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Is this likely to be a short hearing? If bond holders are now willing to accept the MA offer surely there isn’t much to discuss? It’s just procedural? Will SISU even be offered the stage to have their 2 pennies worth? Surely this is between MA, the administrator and ACL’s creditors. Are SISU...

    My gut is telling me that it’s either that or setting the stage for more JR’s. Or both, set the scene for more JR’s in an effort to strengthen their arm ahead of negotiating to sell the club to MA. Pay us this much and we’ll drop the JR’s.
