Relationship with sisu - joy
Money from vik and Hamer was an amount of money that he was lucky to have
What did you disagree with
Yeah but it's fun for shit postingA tip: any actual transfer rumour gets a new thread. The transfer window thread is always nonsense.
The point is King came in when a lot of the hard work had been done. Wasps had failed. The club was on track for promotion. We’d got two generational talents to sell. The fans were back on board. Most owners are not so lucky. This has of course triggered half the forum but it’s obviously true.
They clearly had a relationshipHe had no money from the sales.
The club was rapidly losing money at circa £10 million a year. If sisu has remained in charge regardless of the sales we would be bust.
The money is not paid upfront and the club has no cash. It would have gone bust without someone injecting money - the sales did not help cash flow. King has had to invest substantial amounts from somewhere and thats regardless of the ground.
Shmmee is against buying the ground and had grudges. I have no idea how it was funded so he certainly doesn't.
Where is this supposed relationship with Sisu even evidenced? They approached William Storey first.
They clearly had a relationship
And certainly have had since which is good
Yep I think £45m has been put into the club
I’m not sure any is from his personal funds but I’d be happy to see evidence it has
Didn’t he say he knew Dermot Coleman when he was asked at the time of the takeover?What is the evidence they had a relationship?
I think it is people misunderstanding why some companies King was involved with having the the same postal address as some companies Sisu where involved with.What is the evidence they had a relationship?
We did see the directors loan on the accounts for thirty million.They clearly had a relationship

2021/22 and 2022/23 were as good as it was EVER going to get under SISU and they were complete anomalies and that was because Robins had got together a decent crop of players on a shoe-string and had unearthed two phenomenal footballers for this levelWe would have got far less for Vik if he hadn't taken over the club.

Had SISU remained, it is my opinion Gyokeres would have been sold in Jan 2023, probably for pittance in comparison to what we got and we would have as we did the season before fallen just short of the play-offs
Robins would have probably seen it as job done stabilising the club in the Championship and gone elsewhere whilst his stock peaked, he wouldn't have took us any further - He was a lot closer to taking the Stoke job in Aug 2022 than people realise
Do you honestly believe SISU were or were ever going to run the club in a way that enabled it to be in the position it is now?Reckon the Ricoh would have crumbled too, Wasps would have been reborn as Coventry Wasps, Kevin Maton declared king of the world and Balti pies banned from sale.

I don't think he would have been sold to be honest, not because SISU wouldn't want to but he and his agent by that stage had a plan in place and that involved him moving to Europe that summer.2021/22 and 2022/23 were as good as it was EVER going to get under SISU and they were complete anomalies and that was because Robins had got together a decent crop of players on a shoe-string and had unearthed two phenomenal footballers for this level

Coleman's brother is a partner in a few businesses with King.Didn’t he say he knew Dermot Coleman when he was asked at the time of the takeover?

I think it's fair to say that the club was in a better position when DK took over than it had been 5 or 6 years before (though that's not saying much).Doug is only our owner cos he shared an office with Sisu let’s be honest here. He’s invested virtually nothing. He’s mortgaged the ground by dint of not being Sisu and he’s inherited a club with £50m cash to spend which has bought him a promotion. He must be the luckiest football club owner of all time.
Niche.I would Happily wipe King Dougs bottom every morning for where we are now.
If it wasn't for Fisher, Robins wouldn't have returned.The only 2 good things SISU did for our club was
1) Go with their tale between their legs and get Mark Robins back
2) Sell up
End of debate. They were a stain on our great club and incompitent of running a football club.
Fuck Seppala. Fuck fishface. Fuck One Eyed Igwe, Fuck Ken Deluded and Fuck Txt a Sub

ALL HAIL KING DOUG!

It's says Jan transfer , but seems to have become something else.He didn't have £50m in fees or prize money so you're undermining your argument with exaggerations. We spent more than we received.
We have a squad of our own that's been stable for three seasons. Expect that's the first time we've been in that position since relegation.
Did he buy at a good time? Yeah, and he's capitalised. Did MR and Sisu get lucky that Adi stayed when Taylor fell ill? that MR was available again?

As much as people hated Fisher, you are correctIf it wasn't for Fisher, Robins wouldn't have returned.
No someone created a picture of him wearing a pirates eyepatch when he was up to no good and branded him "one eyed igwe" in reference to One Eyed Willy from the GooniesDid Onye Igwe really have one eye? I didn't know that about him. All I really remember is him having a go at Sky Blue Sam for being overweight.
