Interesting choice of words in his press release:

“As outlined in my recent press conference, the Club at this moment has no debt owed to me or any other party.

“All future funding of the Club via any loans will also not be interest bearing *whilst I am the Owner.*

Why interesting?

But Doug is a front for SISU

What will be the excuse now, no Wasps, no SISU, CCC don't have any say in anything anymore, not playing outside of the city. Be a guaranteed sell out!

It’ll be down to my mates not going and I’m not going on my own excuse being rolled out again.

Does seem odd.

Always thought that the 15% thing was held to be paid off at £whatever balanced SISU’s books upon Prem promotion.

Maybe it all got a bit complicated and messy behind the scenes / put off lenders / other investors having SISU involved. The Prem promotion bonus (presumed else why keep their toe in at the outset) can always be structured without shareholding.

Does anyone have any intel?

Well fuck me dead, I wasn't expecting that... I thought SISU would have their claws in until we got the the prem so they could take a slice of the pie. Really surprising but happy with that one owner focused on the right thing for the club... hopefully!

Another 10p? 10m? Doesn't really matter, only one person to deal with now, irrespective of whether it's Ashley or Sheik it all about who wants to buy.

Still being cautious having been in the position of thinking we’ve been saved before but the no interest on loans statement is a welcome statement. Actually think it should be standard practice in football and legislated that loans from owners do not incur interest. Football would be less likely to interest some of the awful characters it does if that was the case.

Early days but any improvements on SISU’s tenure however small are welcome improvements.

I mean it could very well be straight from the frying pan to the fire, but SISU are finally gone after 15 years (15 YEARS!), so for tonight, that's a call for a good drink

The only good thing with Ashley being in charge would have been Kane and Waghorn going round wearing some ‘2 for £8’ labels from Sports Direct.

I must say Doug does seem to have aged 10 years in 3 months poor fella.

That’s what owning CCFC does to you.
