Ever since Mike Ashley secured ownership of the CBS arena complex, I’ve always been convinced that he would ultimately end up owning the football club CCFC, i was never really convinced by Doug King and the way he suddenly popped up from nowhere and quickly removed the previously immovable object known as SISU.
I’m now absolutely convinced that this was a 3 way agreement from the beginning involving Mike Ashley, SISU, and Doug King, all would have had very valid reasons for doing it this way.
1, For SISU it would have meant a quick and relatively quiet exit from a situation they had no wish to be involved with, they’ve pretty much vanished off the face of the earth which pleases the fan base and indicates they were happy with their share.
2, For DK it’s a ‘win win’ will no doubt be looked after very well financially, both his business and personal profile have been propelled beyond his wildest dreams, I would imagine a comfy seat on the board is assured once everything falls into place.
3, For Mike Ashley it just makes sense, can you imagine the fan’s reaction if Mike Ashley had replaced SISU and then embarked on restructuring the club financially ie: hefty ST & Corporate price rises across the board, new replica kits apparently facing a big hike as well.
Mike knows its wise to have the acceptable face of Doug King, oversee the announcements and implementation of anything that would be likely to cause friction between Mike and the fan base ‘especially as the fan base were already voicing displeasure at the notion of him coming in.
