What did he pay for his 85% stake in CCFC?

It will be like We Buy Any Car, headline figure of £25m then they due diligence and it’s all it’s got a scratch here, this seat has a mark, this service was 2 days late. How does £2.50 sound?

Isn’t that only in the case of liquidation? Otherwise the hotel, casino etc agreements wouldn’t stand either.

People should read up a little bit on the history of Portsmouth before getting on board wholesale with tonight’s news. We know very little to zero details really. What is he paying? How is he paying? What’s in it for him? Why now? Who is he really? We’ve been spoon fed a very carefully picked...

So is he a local businessman because he has one business amongst many that just happens to be located in Stratford or is he actually from Coventry/Warwickshire? Because on the former basis Coventry/Warwickshire has several Sports Directs so Mike Ashley is a local business man before he even...

That’s what you think

Buying a football club is like making love to a beautiful woman

What’s Byng got to say about this?

This is all starting to sound very Portsmouth like. I wouldn’t start putting the bunting out just yet.

Does he have any connections to Dave King, Glasgow Rangers shareholder? Or is that just a coincidence? Reason I bring it up is Dave King and Mike Ashley have major beef with each other.

What a night to get in late from work. Also. WTAF!

I don’t believe so also. Not sure he could make anything resembling a business case for that. I know you could say the same for any football team but compared to wasps it’s not even close.

It’s pretty easy. Go to BETA companies house, put Arena Coventry in the search and the top 2 companies are ACL & ACL2006, look at their last set of filed accounts and it states that in 2019 & 20 ACL made £6k one year, £7k the other and ACL2016 didn’t even register £1k either year. It’s stated as...

Looking on companies house ACL & ACL2006 combined profit for 2019 and then 2020 is less than £10k a year. Based on that without our rent and income gained from footfall at matches the Arena is making a loss.

Could just mean the NDA’s are holding up. Using logic why would MA be interested in ACL without owning CCFC as well? He can’t be buying it to buy wasps and have us sitting there as tenants. Wasps can’t support ACL and ACL can’t support Wasps, the only reason ACL turns a profit as far as I can...

I think they were thinking that Wasps would leave it to them in their will when they died.

Childish petulant behaviour from Russia. The whole wave of attacks on Ukraine today is just a hissy fit from criticism at the G20. Even India and China visibly distancing themselves from Russia whereas they were keen on being “independent” previously. Hopefully the projectile that landed in...

Saying I was going to put a bid in knowing that there was a period of exclusivity in place is like claiming you knew an answer all along on a quiz show after they’ve given you the answer having failed to answer the question in the allotted time and still expecting the points.

There’s nothing really stopping anyone contacting SG and say I’ve got a bid bigger than Ashley’s sitting on the table. Doesn’t necessarily make it A) true B) credible. Could be a Dhinsa character. I’ve got an £50m offer sitting on the table for example, anyone got SG’s fax number? The little we...

Bigger offers from who exactly? How credible are they? NEC apparently outbid by Ashley for pre-pack so assuming that’s correct not NEC. This local guy with his US backers? I might be doing him/them a disservice but I’m having trouble buying into that one, the US backer is being touted as a...
