Maybe Dougs doing a Robert Jarni. Buy the club so council will deal with him re the stadium, then sell the club back to sisu at a profit 
Is it though? Says Doug King not the Hedge fund he leads. Fingers crossed he's just a rich fecker who wants a new hobby
Tbf ultimately, sisu might have ended up leaving us in a better place than they found us, albeit with a whole load of shit in the interim. Potentially owning the stadium, debt free and a competitive championship squad
Worth the gamble to hold until the summer don't you think? Burnley aside, it's an average league this season. If we keep the team intact (maybe a signing or two?_ and we'd have a fighting chance of a tilt for the play offs, and the second place isn't impossible.
Vik just put a header over in the 44th minute. Mexican commentary just said something like Covenree
Update: Vik just subbed (fit and well) Happy days !!

There is nothing left to do but light on of my own farts with a lighter
I suppose in his mind he'll worry about staying here till the summer then getting some kind of injury or loss of form that costs him a move. Looking at it from his perspective, it wouldn't make much sense to stay if you were getting the right offers already.
This is a worry that Sisu are just using this guy, probably already mates with Joy.
My thinking is that they knew Ashley was going to be in for the club after the stadium with the council standing behind him.
They have taken the club option away from him so it means Ashley is going to be buying a stadium with potentially no football club. I wouldn't be surprised if they have said the club will be moved if Ashley takes over it.
Leaves Ashley with an empty stadium.
They then hope Ashley pulls out or cuts them in.

The reports talk more of his other businesses so it does sound like it's a personal deal and not a deal via his fund
It leads me to think one of a few things
1. Ashley really was never interested in the club
2. He was, but SISU didn't want to relinquish all control or wanted more than he thought it was worth.
Even when they're finally pissing off they still can't do it right.

SISU Capital Ltd, the owners of Coventry City Football Club, has agreed – subject to EFL approval – to sell a majority stake in the football club to local businessman, Doug King, who will take an 85% share.t.co
He would surely have offered them whatever the Oil King has? Just looks like a massive open goal missed.
RMCA same address as SISU. More I think about it, the more this is not as good as first thought
