Happy to fill in for them for a bit.

Training ground is eerily quiet. May have something to do with having no game for a month.

Don't expect many shocks when the team gets announced at 2pm tomorrow... In fact, don't expect anything. Go xmas shopping, visit your parents, get shit faced in the pub or do all 3.

I got one of those for kicking the ball through the tyres (hung from the goalposts) as a primary school kid. Felt like I'd won the lottery at the time (although a bit gutted when I discovered they weren't the original artists)

If you mean regarding the takeover I've heard King is associated with Mike Ashley
Ashley is relocating the HQ of his businesses to Ansty and has put in planning permission for a big development there

I assume associated and knowing are two different things. He said he didn't know Joy, but was associated with her

Fair enough. We shall see. He did seem very laid back about not getting the stadium and see what can be done going forward.

Wouldn't expect an Ashley associate to be hastily putting in a bid that in reality that was destined to fail?

It's all pretty murky but I heard this from someone with connections throughout the football world
They said King is Ashley's front man
Maybe there is an intermediary between them so King can honestly say he doesn't know Ashley?
Machiavellian is the word that springs to mind but we'll know soon enough if what I heard is true

You’ve often been right so 100% kudos to you but is it a big charade for DK to then go bidding against MA in court.?

Contingency plan in case Judge went against MA? goes to DK as his ringer rather than letting another party to the party? Is that the thinking?

Many people here (myself included) have struggled to see what’s been going on here - Machiavellian sounds spot on.

Difficult to make sense of it all
I just asked who King was and that's what I was told

well time will tell,and will give king the rest of this season a chance as we are all wary of anybody that comes in and takes a controlling stake and leaves sisu in the background and Ashley with the CBS.

King being a sort of stooge of Ashley’s did cross my mind as a possibility

I assume if he is a stooge @better days it will be after he gets approved by the EFL takes the 85% he then flips it to Ashley?

If BD is right and we may never find out… it’s a tiny window into the mad murky world of big business shenanigans. Us normal folk and I use that description very loosely given some of the fruitcakes on SBT, simply have no idea.

That would make sense but I don't know for sure
It's possible Ashley could take over King's companies
As Ashley is relocating the HQ of his businesses to Warwickshire there are a lot of 'coincidences'

Ahhhh so essentially take control of the holding group. Interesting. I bet Sisu retaining 15% will be a bit of a fly in the ointment!

Well if the plan is to get to the PL the 15% would be worth a lot more than it is now
Then they could cash out
All supposition but it makes business sense
In the meantime as King owns 85% he cam make virtually any decisions he likes
