Gimoc is a Tommy Robinson fan who also worships David Icke and spreads wacko conspiracy nonsense on his social media . Wouldn’t believe him for a minute.

Not sure what to make of that, bit of veiled racism ? Muslims recognise Jesus Christ and do respect Christmas in their way

True. Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet.

Christmas has little to do with Christianity these days anyway, especially in the U.K. I know lots of Muslims that have decorations and give presents on Christmas Day.

Correct I have a relation married to a devout Muslim, couldn’t wish to meet a more respectful chap to the Christmas period.

I’ve just seen the Possible blue Christmas tree Everton pun.

If/when King is confirmed wonder if he will be more hands on - Or will bring his own board in? (Am I right in saying Fisher is the only actual director of the football club at the moment?)

Be interesting to see if Boddy is moved on as well

I think we have two officers of the club chairman Tim Fisher & ceo Dave Boddy. Will be interesting what happens with Fisher, if he stays chairman does that indicate JS pulling the strings ?

Fisher is the only active director of Otium - Agree, could be telling but it’s not too uncommon during football club takeovers for outgoing directors to stay on after new ownership comes in, in a sort of ‘handover process

Couldn’t even tell you what Fisher does nowadays, he never seems to speak to anyone and handed all that sort of stuff over to Boddy, probably just as well as he always seemed to upset anyone when he opened his mouth

Just wonder what he will do if King gets approval, is he a sisu man or a what’s best for Tim man ?

Do you still think it’s Hyam?

TBH I’m unsure.

It was quickly pointed out to me that it could have also been R.O. and the reasons why.

The level of inside knowledge on the playing front, particularly during COVID suggested player, not highly-involved-sponsor. It may be that R.O. had contacts and was passing info on, and stopped when Hyam left; coincidentally perhaps.

Having read through the posts at the time and trying to weigh up who out of the two would / could have had access to the inside knowledge, I have my own theory, which I’ll keep to myself.

It was never going to be confirmed today - first day back in the office. EFL staff still talking about Dry January and new gym memberships, let alone opening any emails or holding meetings.

Andy Turner's latest suggested there is still i's & t's (issues/queries) to dot and cross. Can see this dragging on until next week.

It’s been said there’s an agreed time line so I suppose they will stick to that.

Do you mean said by the CET?
This is their words.
"A timescale for Coventry City’s proposed takeover by businessman Doug King has been agreed and put in place.
CoventryLive understands that the EFL, football club and King are working together to bring the deal to a conclusion, which is hoped to be this week.
Although Sky Blues boss Mark Robins has said he’s keeping his fingers crossed that the takeover gets approval by the football governing body on Tuesday, it’s understood there are still i’s to be dotted and t’s to be crossed, not least on the legal side of things."
The highlighted text seems to contradict that unless a timescale has been agreed but is being kept secret.
