The more we hear, the stronger the stench of SISU's familiar underhand tactics grows.
This has the medium term potential to completely destroy the incredible on-field achievements of recent weeks.
the amount of naive and gullible posters on here is scary
Came across as a bit of a vacuous wanker tbh, but first impressions aren't always right!Did he come across as someone who has seen us play?
Nope, just a businessman, no mention of MR.Did he come across as someone who has seen us play?
What serious bidder ever declares their hand on what they are going to bid and haven’t done any dd or looked at the sales pack if there is one.
'Well, the club tried to buy the stadium'...Watch Ashley bid £26m
I mean big words to say he want the arena for £25m without doing any due diligence.
Loves sports; football, golf...Did he come across as someone who has seen us play?
If it is just SISU making a last attempt to get the ground, then fine, I hope they get it. SISU and this Doug character owning club and stadium is still better than being owned by SISU and renting from the filth.

They'd actually fit in well with all the shady characters involved in this storyI don’t think the Met are interested Tom
It means he's got the readies and doesn't need to mortgage the Arena, which means future income won't be used to service debt.So purchasing with equity, not debt, what does that mean?
Otium are CCFCIt’ll never be CCFC that own the operating company, it’ll be Otium or whoever.
I'm reading the statement that he's had an offer accepted, he doesn't own a stake yet (and I don't believe there is any intention for this sale to happen).What did he pay for his 85% stake in CCFC?
Well I think it clear he’s not a part of sisu but expect cynics to see it that wayNope, just a businessman, no mention of MR.
He has links with Sisu, and even shares a London office with Sisu, and part of his business empire is a hedge fund!
hasn't paid anything as yet, he's just reached an agreement. (That's my understanding)What did he pay for his 85% stake in CCFC?
Doesn’t feel right to me this.
so out of the blue - who is this geezer? What the hell does he want with coventry city?
Fair enough if the ‘local businessman’ was someone we’d heard of and knew was actually interested in football and/or a fan.
The fact he also said about sisu did well bringing the club back to coventry - it was them that fucking took us out of coventry?!
my theory is it’s all about the stadium, then either he will sell back his shares to the other shareholders i.e sisu and they’ve got it through the back door.
either way we all know that if the company that owns the brand that is coventry city football club owns acl then it will only be rented back to the football club anyway. It’ll never be CCFC that own the operating company, it’ll be Otium or whoever.
He will be a part owner WITH Sisu if this deal goes ahead.Well I think it clear he’s not a part of sisu but expect cynics to see it that way

Only one I can answer with moderate confidence is the "shorting oil" one. If he's made a fortune out of it I think that implies that he closed his position (i.e. took his profit) long before it went back up to current levels.
i would imagine he closed out his position to make his fortune lol

That was my eventual suspicion, but still a guess based on not much.

Good job he didnt try to short that.Well yeah, obviously you have to close your position to realise the gains - I just think it’s striking that his two periods of success happened to coincide with extremely low oil prices, whereas the year when oil prices hit a modern record saw him be named “the worst hedge fund manager in the world”.
And then you have this price prediction from six months ago, and I have to wonder how our new owner’s portfolio is looking as we head into a global recession:

Definite charlatan.
