I’m not sure how many but the record goes all the way back to 1987Slightly off topic but does anyone know what the world record is for the highest number of wanks within one hour? Thanks.
So questions I have tonight (beyond the earlier ones about his links to SISU):
* What’s the extent of this guy’s relationship with the local area, beyond this one Velo company?
* If King is buying the club in a personal capacity, what’s his personal net wealth and how is he funding the takeover?
* If he made his fortune on shorting oil prices in 2014 and 2020, how’s he doing financially now that prices are back at ~$100/barrel?
* Are the club’s debts being written off or paid off?
* Why is King’s bid for the CBS supposedly the only one which can guarantee that CCFC play home games there in the long term?
* Where does this leave the plans for - and I’m deadly serious here! - the Warwick University project?
* Who will sit on the club’s board and what happens to the current management team? (Boddy etc)
* Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby just to let me down?
And they batter people in courtYeah, but they won't reject, SISU will sue them.
Add me to that.Got through the thread and still pretty much none the wiser.
Instincts tell me something isn't quite right though so I'm definitely not celebrating yet and preparing myself for this to be another shitshow.
Maybe it's just a lifetime of being a Cov fan that that's my default position and I'd love it if down the line someone's quoting this to show how wrong i was.
Probably ifollowIs the court case going to be live streamed or anything now if it's public?
If they aren’t competing then the timing of this announcement makes little sense.
i would imagine he closed out his position to make his fortune lol* If he made his fortune on shorting oil prices in 2014 and 2020, how’s he doing financially now that prices are back at ~$100/barrel?
The way I would look at this -
It is all a bluff by SISU, this guy seems like a SISU puppet by making a club who doesn't own a stadium look more valuable than it actually is. SISU are simultaneously saying bye Coventry City Fans you have got what you wanted when in reality we haven't whilst they are trying to make as much money as possible from MA. Not realising this is probably going to monumentally backfire in their faces - this guy was never heard of until 6 hours ago.
I think SISU aren't keeping 15% at all and just said that to wind up the idiotic Sunderland fans who are still banging on about 1977.Add me to that.
Concerns: whether debt is gone or just more likely moved somewhere.
-Don't see the arena and football club being in one company (even if they manage to get their hands on it)
- Why SISU are keeping 15%
- Timing
- any deal with bondholders is going to create some fairly substantial debt

There is a 10% chance of things going smoothly. SISU/the bond holders could go to court with their representations. HMRC has a role. It’s another ‘interesting’ time in our history. King seems to be the Trojan Horse.The rent discussions could be tricky if Ashley gets the stadium as the 10 year agreement is not valid after tomorrow
Hear hear!I think SISU aren't keeping 15% at all and just said that to wind up the idiotic Sunderland fans who are still banging on about 1977.
It’s on ITV - Judge RinderProbably ifollow
Trojan? I thought SISU said King was local. Another bloody lieThere is a 10% chance of things going smoothly. SISU/the bond holders could go to court with their representations. HMRC has a role. It’s another ‘interesting’ time in our history. King seems to be the Trojan Horse.
Think they have bought a stake in the club thinking about it.Add me to that.

Must admit, our fervor in wanting new owners seems a bit flat this morning.A local businessman with no ties to football or to the local area but with tight ties to sisu buys the club and everyone buys the shit from Sisu PR
It's probably a way for sisu to remain in the bidding, when certain other parties like CCC and ACL, wouldn't entertain them.Read it again..
‘And with Doug on board we intend to…’
The ‘we’ is the telling part. Doug is representing the interests of SISU. This is exactly the same as the new stadium debacle. It’s puts a name to a random rumour with the intent of bringing it credibility.
This is highly unlikely to happen and if it does it’s a change of name and not a change of interest. ‘Doug’ will represent SISU.
This is one of 2 things in my eyes.
1) it buys SISU time to formulate a counter offer on the stadium, representing a ‘serious’ interest in owning the club and the stadium
2) (the most likely). It artificially inflates the price of the club which allows SISU to make more money on the inevitable sale of the club to Ashley.
This is unstoppable force versus unmovable object territory…
Ashley who has made a habit of acquiring struggling businesses and turning them around versus SISU who have a reputation of taking on businesses in legally murky territory and then going to court to seek a favourable position.

It’s a shout. Makes sense with the timing. I really don’t think we should be celebrating yet.My thinking is that they knew Ashley was going to be in for the club after the stadium with the council standing behind him.
They have taken the club option away from him so it means Ashley is going to be buying a stadium with potentially no football club. I wouldn't be surprised if they have said the club will be moved if Ashley takes over it.
Leaves Ashley with an empty stadium.
They then hope Ashley pulls out or cuts them in.
Also means they can’t afford all of it.I’m sure an equity bid will mean having a share of the arena. For instance they will acquire 50% equity. That’s how I read it.
When you described what you had heard it actually sounded like it made sense and that Sisu finally had a credible exit plan. I had hoped it was a credible new owner.May have got the percentage wrong but remember when i told you sisu 100% had an investor to take over the club??
Although im struggling to even believe this myself
Yeah this should be alarm bells for everyone.'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
It's at The Pink Rainbow private members club in Soho. It starts at 8pm, dress code is full black leather!Where in London is the court and what time is it on?
I'm in London today.
On in less than 5 munutesDoug king on cwr shortly
