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

Yeah, if his intention was to get the ground then the club then it means the club isn't an option now....

Just proves that no rumours doesn’t necessarily mean nothing is happening.

I knew SISU were being way to quiet.

Yes a clever move to sell to a fellow hedge fund rather than a billionaire.

For those asking about the cash....

From the statement on BBC:

"King is chief executive of Stratford-upon-Avon based oilseed processing facility Yelo Enterprises, who have invested more than £70m in the region.

He previously founded investment firm RCMA Capital LLP - which has overseas investments of more than £400m - and of which he remains majority owner."

He may have a few quid to his name £6.50 in loose change and a packet of Cheese and Onion Crisps

Well if he had taken over both ourselves and the stadium and got rid of SISU's involvement completely it would have been a much better outcome for ourselves. All this would appear to do is introduce another kind of purgatory

How about this outcome.
Him buying the club gives SISU the finances to buy the stadium ,so CCFC then become Tennant's of SISU .

I wouldn't worry about Sisu's 15% at all.

That is basically something so they don't have to close their investment and capitalise whatever loss is left over after this sale.

It also gives them the opportunity to cash in on promotion without having to deal with funding us in the championship.

I know I need to post, but i don't know what to say. I'm genuinely not sure how to describe this. Spent years dreaming about it and visualising the day SISU get to fuck.

Where's that fucking GIF of the beer being thrown at a festival? Even the Reeves one on MDMA will do at this point. Someone? Anyone? Lloyd's?

I'm trying to calm down by watching Big Vik v Mexico.

Update - Mexico are dirty and Sweden are very poor.
Vik not doing a lot, which is fine by me (Mexico have most of the possession)

If he wants to win the fans over early there is a certain Swedish striker who could do with having a big fat contract slapped in front of him…

I’d have a guess this is something Ashley wasn’t expecting to happen. Let’s be clear we all know that he was going to try and get the club on his terms when he was ready in the future.

This could mean Ashley won’t bother if he can’t get CCFC. Next 48 hours are going to push the Ronaldo stories off the back pages LOL.
