Don't know whether to be excited, terrified, furious, horny, laughing, crying.

When does the plain English of what is happening to our club actually come out.

Gilbo will be on the morning show around 7.30ish I guess. That's where he's appeared for every other step of this journey.

No. Because he says he hasn’t made a bid yet.

It says the club is in a late bid to buy the stadium. I thought Ashley was the preferred bidder? I have to admit to not understanding wtf is going on

Will be interesting to see the council response, this pretty much removes SISU (is the minority stake retained on the basis the new owner will buy them out on promotion as a means of them getting a return?), removes any we're building a new stadium rubbish and promises regeneration in the area if the club gets ownership of the stadium.

That's pretty much every reason that has been given for the council not being exactly cooperative with the club removed isn't it?

Similar quotes from both parties. This one that I paraphrased was from Joy

" The sale of the CBS Arena does provide short term uncertainty and with Doug on board we intend to set out a robust bid for the stadium which, if successful, will provide a platform for long-term success. "

So my thoughts
The day before the court case SISU sell the club (or majority share) this scuppers any way of Ashley getting the club, he then pulls out of the CBS Arena leaving it open for SISU to pick it up
