    Doug King Takeover

    He also owned by coincidence a company which did stadia seating and a West Brom fan who jumped onto our board when WBA board booted him off theirs. Tell you a story about him, while I was talking to the then maintenance man, a mate, an assistant of his came up to us with about a dozen or so old...

    There was a plan to turn HR round so the Sky Blue stand & Main Stands would have been behind the goals and four new stands would have been built Thackhall Street would have been shorter, I’m sure it was nearly a goer but there was money to be made shifting to where it is now. The council at the...

    Doug King Takeover

    Why ? Well for a start a few people were a bit wealthier at the end of the project than they were at the beginning. HR capacity was just over 23000, the Richo just under 33000, so £130million was spent to potentially increase our stadium capacity by about 9000. Which we have never filled have...

    Why ? That’s how a lot of these successful business people operate. Storey does look a strange one and gobbing off about millions for transfer targets etc did him no favours but he’s definitely not a loan wolf, do I want him probably not, do I want sisu to remain definitely not.

    Don’t disagree but until we know differently officially I’m assuming he is. So another angle what if he doesn’t. and don’t just say Ashley, there’s Hoffman’s consortium, Dawkins and his Americans, the eccentric Storey and I have heard another stalking horse, Cov fan too, kicking his heels at...

    Here’s another angle sisu are to be business partners to Doug King to the tune of 15% so do the earn 15% of any income/profit i.e sell a player for let’s say £10million they pocket 1.5m, match receipts, tv or advertising money. So on that basis do they put in 15% of the club running costs ie...
