The offer was £25m subject to due dil.

If it was an attempt to cause mischief it didn’t work very well. I imagine when the bondholders decided to drop charges any hopes were dashed anyway.

Ashley was seemingly the only serious bidder once NEC dropped out. Sisus mistake seems to have been pissing around with Storey and wasting the clubs chance to bid.

What was his motive for making the offer then?

Presumably because he wanted to buy it and that was the only way to register an interest at that late stage (although always doomed to fail - which I think even he admitted after the event).

Perhaps a bit of water to go under the bridge yet after 15 years of just about the worst owners possible I can wait a couple of months if needs be so long as we eventually get shut of them and they become a bad memory.

he says he did, wasn't really secret though

on this subject I don't think he'd claim to be itk and he is just expressing his opinions

Somebody who isn't a crazed fantasist who'd destroy the club in double quick time? Somebody with actual money to buy the club? Somebody who doesn't spend their time spouting off on twitter and enjoying the attention for his own egomania?

Other than the fact that he loves football, he purchased the stadium in which a championship football club play and very recently attempted to buy a championship football club. Other than than that, no, no reason at all.

Matt, it's about time you got rid of the default avatar 'M'. can I suggest the perfect avatar for you is Chicken Little. Fits the constant "the sky is falling in" doom and gloom brand

I’m just keeping everything crossed that the reason for the delay is, following the absolute clusterfucks at Bury, Derby, Charlton (countless times) in recent years, for which the EFL attracted lots of criticism - they are just being a lot more stringent in vetting who buys clubs

It only takes a browse on companies house to see that King has been in and around companies that have made some good money, not sure what that will mean for his personal wealth but I don’t buy that SISU have just drafted this bloke in to act as a front for them, what could possibly be in it for DK if that was the case?

Just want an answer be it positive or negative soon so we know where we stand and what to hope for in the rest of the season

Well that's when he purchased the club (which is seemingly down to us giving a period of exclusivity to a nut job).

It’s his son-in-law who is ceo or chairman, the boss basically of Fraser Group, MA not on the board anymore.

It’s really boring. Every time - “because it’s not happening”, “he’s not taking over”, yawn yawn, fucking yawn. It’s all so he can say “look at me everyone, I told you so” if it doesn’t happen. Proper weird behaviour.
