Should have got live coverage from Oggy and Clive on this today.

Clive confirming what colour shoes everyone is wearing and would somehow think Sheffield Wednesday are one of the sides at some point

Would have thought the court would want evidence to support the King bid before dismissing Ashley bid

Not sure they can dismiss a bid, it's just whether they should remove the charges isn't it?

lol, can’t believe SISU actually expected this to work.

Can’t wait to see how the club gets fucked over this time.

Vic Minett reading the email as it arrived. Judge said King's offer was not enough to consider at this late stage. As soon as ACL went into administration, Ashley's offer was triggered and ownership transferred to him.

Anyone hear Simon Jordan on Talksport just now? Some interesting tidbits. He gave a bit more clarity on the line he gave before:

“Too much like hard work in terms of the stadium, the development of the stadium, the moving of the stadium"

He says CCC are/were looking into the option of demolishing the CBS for social housing.

There is some data somewhere that the site is unsuitable for dwellings /residency due to the remaining pollutants still within the ground

Ashley now owns the stadium!

King should now stick to his word and offer Ashley the £25milion thus giving Ashley a nice profit and King would then own the stadium & club - simples!
Let’s see what King is made of - this is his first real test in my opinion.

CWR reporting Judge said 'not enough substance in King's proposed bid to consider delaying orders at this late stage. 5 other offers considered previously. Fraser's and ACL said they would walk away if judge didn't approve admin. Minute went into admin, MA bid approved, done deal'.

Ashley had his shit together. Not surprising what happened. Would be nice if he'd take the quick buck by selling on to King.

Still no idea what all parties actually want though.

It’s not a stitch up if the only bidder and £300-600k needed to fund the stadium this month alone.
The court has to agree with that.

King said he was committed to the football club regardless of whether he got the stadium. If he sticks to that, all well and good because with his input we still should be in a financially better place than before.

And if he now does a u-turn, it suggests he’s untrustworthy and we’ve dodged a bullet.
