Just thinking how lucky Doug must feel at the mo. Got the club off a distressed SISU who probably thought this was a nothing season. Got some great players who have grown 2nd half of the season and currently on course to make the playoffs. At this point he can't have put a huge amount of investment in... you'd be walking around like a dog with 2 d*cks.

no one knows what he’s got, if he’s got it off Sisu at all or where we are playing next season
This is the same chap who said he purchased the last 25% as it was clear he couldn't work with SISU...
I mean they were fuc*ing lucky but in an odd turn of events they sort of did

Hi Doug!

it was 15% and the original share funds of negative (£65 m) still are on the balance sheet aren’t they?

Hi Will
What's 10% between friends! He has also been quoted on multiple occasions saying debt free at the point of take over.

Yes “at the point of take over” - what about a few seconds after?

It would serve Sisu right if we got promoted as straight after they sold us

Well I mean the main SISU man left upon his arrival and he went from 85% to 100 instead of 100 all at once.

85% of what?

Well whatever it is, if the plan was for them to stay involved he wouldn’t have taken 100% in the way he has

SISU made it clear over the summer they were looking to get out - the demise of Wasps was the last opportunity. There was no serious acquisition, just Palmer who was a freebie. The requirement to sell Hyam to cover the repair of the pitch and the desire to sell O'Hare were other clues. Then they announced to the City that they were looking for inward investment. Plenty on here were saying that they wanted out. Ashley killed off the last hope, but the writing was on the wall over the summer.

They don’t. But what was clear is that SISU had run out of funds and Fisher went immediately. And again, the weird 85-15 split followed by upgrade to 100 later on suggests they genuinely aren’t in the picture.
I'm well aware of the history! Is just comedy!

We kind of were at that point weren't we? They had to clear the debt a few times.
