What is an "equity bid"??

Wouldn't think so maybe aligned with Ashley?
Or after he potentially gets the go ahead or after he fails?

All feels a bit late if they’re trying to get the stadium too.

Just had a thought, do we reckon Sisu still have part control because of their link to Warwick Uni the site of “the new stadium”. Could that then become a reality if we dont get the CBS. Its a bit odd to not buy the full 100%

'If the bid is successful, it would ensure the Sky Blues remain able to play home games in the city and is the only bid which can make this long-term guarantee'

I hope the EFL are taking note of this threat
Click to expand...

It's not untrue to be fair. I don't read that as a threat to move the club, more that we only have 8 years left at the stadium as it stands, and no guarantee after that.

If we’ve learned one thing, SISU are tactically astute. Something in this smells incredibly off.

Not convinced.

RMCA same address as SISU. More I think about it, the more this is not as good as first thought
Click to expand...


Means nothing. TMF Group, who are at that address, are a services company who offer support for others. From their website: " TMF Group in the United Kingdom has a professional team of experts specialising in accounting, company secretarial, taxation, payroll and structured finance services. We provide a full range of corporate services to help our local and international clients reduce risks, be compliant, control costs and simplify operations. "

So RMCA/Yelo aren't based there, same as SiSu. Its just a registered address for post, legals and finances which TMF act on.

Gobsmacked! The murmurings and snippets we’ve had in the past couple of months on here and in the media, actually had credibility it’s only ever so slightly annoying that SISU are still hanging around like a corpse’s fart, but with only 15% control I’d imagine they will have very little say in how the club is run moving forward.

I’m surprised how King’s name hasn’t once been mentioned, which is undoubtedly a good thing whilst the negotiations have taken place behind closed doors. No more Joy, hopefully no more from that sniveling ratbag, Fisher, and allegedly clear of debt. Those points alone make this a monumental day in our proud history.

Irrespective of the ground situation, I hope the takeover can be rubber stamped in the near future, to enable the feel good factor to continue when we get back up and running again, before moving on to January where he sploshes £50m of intent and ties down Vik, Gus and O’Hare on 7 year deals. Details of personal wealth will arise soon and will give us an indication as to whether or not he’s able to mix it with the big boys. Here’s hoping!

The timing of the announcement is deliberate without doubt, and I’m sure is aligned to ruffling a few feathers and throwing a curve ball in Ashley’s direction tomorrow.

They say good things come in 3’s; new ownership today, stadium tomorrow, promotion in May

Looking forward to reading each and every one of the posts and Hill’s GIF’s on another 300+ thread. We deserve this moment, enjoy it you bloody legends!!

Long live the King! PUSB

Fisher is employed by the club so doesn't automatically mean he won't still be involved. Will need to see what comes out. Don't personally think Fisher is as big a problem as some make out anyway.

If you believe this is sisu selling up and going then you are very naive. Remember golden share? This is sisu playing a game and using Doug King as the saviour. I wouldn’t be popping the champagne open just yet

Yup. Same

I am not getting at all excited until Dawn French belts out I Will Survive. Same with the Chopper Ashley news too.

Don't believe a word of it (old age makes you cynical)

Does he have any connections to Dave King, Glasgow Rangers shareholder? Or is that just a coincidence? Reason I bring it up is Dave King and Mike Ashley have major beef with each other.

because it’s sisu and while they have any involvement then I don’t trust the process while they have anything to do with this club. this is a ploy to fuck Ashley over. Clear to see. Let’s just hope it don’t backfire
