Good now hope we can get communication on the path we are on and then the actions start to back it up.

The deal involves clearing all of the Club’s debts accrued prior to King’s agreement to purchase the Club in November, and provides a new start for the Club under fresh ownership.

Yeah, I'm not sure King will really make that much of a difference. No idea how much he might be willing (or able) to put in for transfers etc. but I can't believe it'd be a great deal. But it's hardly likely to be less than it was before.

At least we can now categorically say Gyok isn't leaving...

It is quite weird - it sort of suggests a belief that the fans place great faith in anything she says

Song for Doug King:

You have got such lovely hair,
We will follow you anywhere,
Now the takeover's reached completion,
Will we be sponsored by grecian?
When we watch the city play,
We'll use products by Tresseme,
If your bald do not despair,
The clubs shops selling syrups,
Made out of Dougs hair.

I think it's a winner.

Because the seller doesn’t typically show up in these kinds of press releases. I know SISU are keeping a stake, but what is including a quote from her supposed to signify?

It's supposed to be an 85:15 split in ownership yet in the article on the club's website King gets 74% of the words to Seppalla's 26%. I can see cracks appearing already.

had you heard of todd boehly before his name was associated with Chelsea? Seems a strange (and probably quite limiting) criteria

It is simply the previous owner endorsing the new one, nothing unusual about that

Yes, I’d heard of the billionaire co-owner of the LA Dodgers.

Confirmed. Let’s give King a chance yeah? Trust him until proven otherwise.

On face value we are debt free and in less need to sell players compared to not being taken over.

Im feeling optimistic.
Another body in. Let’s make a couple of permanents now.
