OR………..MA comes up with a figure to buy the Club and SISU fuck off into the sunset forever?

100% my expectation. He’s in a different league to these clowns

Can't see the EFL allowing it this time, we have 8 years left of a lease on the CBS, if SISU decided to move us I would warrant that the EFL would look to take the golden share off of them
Click to expand...
No reason for a move unless some ridiculous change in the lease. EFL aren't going to wear it again.

It would depend if that exact lease stays in place on the same terms.

While that's true the point remains.

They'd still put a definitive timeline for a return to the city. We wouldn't be allowed to play outside of the city for years on years. Pretty glaring point which is continually being missed on this thread.

Another theory....... bare with!

Sisu could throw some funds into the squad between now and the end of the season, get us promoted via the playoffs
Then use the premier league cash to fund the new stadium at Warwick uni.
Thus leaving MA the owner of an empty football stadium with no tenants.
Click to expand...
Long shot.

Problem is that if MA starts bringing his empire to the City and buying a few lunches and tracksuits for the “squeaky clean” City Council chumps then getting things done in this City will be down to MA.

Corrupt. Lot of them.

He doesn’t need to. It’s pocket money for him and I’m sure he’d prefer to be taking over a successful club

The thing is, would people be happy for him to distress the club as much as possible to get it cheap?

That's the thing isn't it - that would make him as terrible a potential owner as SISU, prepared to sacrifice the club for his own ends.

Exactly.

So in an ideal world Ashley will just say here's the money, sell up.

I don't think that will happen though.

If there’s £25m to buy the CBS surely there’s £25m to get the Warwick Uni Stadium built…

Of course it won't

I'm not convinced he's the right owner either but, again, at least he'd be a change from SISU. Give us some other figure of hate for a few years, for variety!

Even on social media, people have been saying about him starving SISU out and getting them out etc.

Think the only way they will go is to pay them to go (realistically).

Now that the debt is allegedly off the club must increase potential deal as will be solely for asset's?
Click to expand...
The debt hasn't gone anywhere, it will just end up being owned by someone else subject to football league approval.
That's if King still wants the Club now that MA owns the Arena.

Sounds like a last minute patsy. A mechanism to try to get the CBS last minute and split the ownership structure of CCFC.

Maybe he (DK) has deeper pockets than JS and is less likely to be bullied into selling for a tin of beans. That’s how it comes over.

Anything to stop King completing the SISU deal, then selling his bit to Ashley (or will he be looking at making a loss on that basis?)

Byng on 7 is just ludicrous. His methods are from the dinosaur age, and tactics have moved on since the traditional 4 fax 4 fax 2 fax formation.

A case of ashley only ever owning 85% of the club ?

Sisu will want to keep the 15% ?

Possibility

The DK takeover hasn’t actually happened yet.

Even if it is legit there is nothing stopping Ashley jumping in before it’s gone through.

This was all rather embarrassing in the end. Seems very much the sort of half assed stunt Sisu would come up with. As usual no regard or care for how it impacts on fans or Coventry.
Will Super King find a way to drift off into the sunset never to be heard of again??
Here’s hoping MA will move for the club and we can finally get rid of this shower of shit.
