And me cause I ask difficult questions that the club don’t necessarily want to answer
And me cause I ask difficult questions that the club don’t necessarily want to answerAgain I’m not being funny but looking at this ranting if I was King I’d chuck you off the committee thing you are on
Not really
It’s not sensitive
And me cause I ask difficult questions that the club don’t necessarily want to answer
It’s been revealed and it’s come as a surpriseOf course it is. It’s negotiating on a major decision which if revealed would make a huge impact on the clubs ability to continue to fund players contracts and impact future signings
SeriouslyYet when it was Sisu you just accepted the answer and bought into the lies
Sorry not having it. King is the one joke the club has and we need to back him
Let’s be honest here, the last time we heard this from the club we got exiled.And me cause I ask difficult questions that the club don’t necessarily want to answer
QuiteLet’s be honest here, the last time we heard this from the club we got exiled.
Im all for giving king the benefit of the doubt but he’s said it himself the club have been burnt before. It’s not a shock people are upset and concerned.

I like King as an owner and do think it’s not a cynical lie like Sisu but an attempt to have a back up planThe difference is the previous owners had no investment in the club and hadn’t for a decade. Kings fund management is covering around £7 million a year. Sisu closed investments in 2012 and just then lied

But of course this is going to reopen old wounds and with the council still as shit as ever, do we even think the club would ever get backed by them
I’m honestly not sure what you’re ranting about here - I’m just saying that it was common knowledge that Doug King tried to buy the Arena, not an “ITK” thing as you initially said.Why didn’t you quote my edited post? I’ve no idea if he’d borrow cash - he’d have had to borrow far more to fund the Arena cash flow.
He would have had to surely have security of £100m plus.
I mean if it’s a matter of public record then it’s surely public record William Storey was trying to buy the club as revealed by your journalist colleague Mr Gilbert

I mean it’s here in black and white and on Google!

I hate to break it you and shit stirring Simon but he hasn’t a pot to piss in has he? He wasn’t buying it despite it seems being on “public record”
King had the funds and was.
Im amazed as an award winning journalist of international recognition your sources didn’t differentiate
Guess that’s why it’s still the Basildon hey?
The thing is I want this sorted one way or another.We should back King end of really as he’s exceeded expectations regarding commitment and ownership
Agreed I like king tooWe should back King end of really as he’s exceeded expectations regarding commitment and ownership

I don’t believe King is financially better placed than SISU to build a new stadium (although I would bet he’s better placed than William Storey…) but it’s a moot point because neither of them are going to do it anyway.
Didn’t Doug go to court to try and gazump Frasers to the arena by offering more?I’m hardly ranting - you do resort to childlike hyperbole when challenged - if he had the funding to own the whole Arena it’s pretty obvious that would also be able to fund a new stadium. It would have been an enormous initial commitment,
There is zero evidence he was trying to buy the stadium on your link at all?
As a journalist would you have written the article Gilbert did regarding William Storey?
This link you mean? King’s bid to buy the stadium is in the fourth paragraph! Maybe lower your font size or something?There is zero evidence he was trying to buy the stadium on your link at all?
Coventry City agreed a deal on Wednesday to sell an 85% stake in the club to businessman Doug King.
A court ruled his £25m offer to own the stadium had come too late.
The judge ruled there was "not enough substance" in King's bid to delay making the administration orders and had been told the Frasers Group would pull out if there was further delay.

He was trying to buy the stadium, in other words.He expressed an interest subject to conditions. Which included a review of the whole of the stadium creditors. He never committed an offer at the hearing.
It was not a bid

It’s ok, you got it wrong, it happens.
If so, has he arrived at the same place as SISU by a different route? And is he now using the same futile tactics to try and get what he wants from an obdurate landlord?Im talking about Doug Kings thinkin...
... he ended up with the club and not the actual real estate he was after
we're notIf so, has he arrived at the same place as SISU by a different route? And is he now using the same futile tactics to try and get what he wants from an obdurate landlord?
I really hope we're not heading down the same rabbit hole again.
What has actually been revealed?It’s been revealed and it’s come as a surprise
I'm not sure anybody is seriously plotting anything. I joked about putting it by his other business and merging it with heat.It is never going to happen and it is genuinely laughable reading some of you on here and on Twitter coming up with potential locations for a 40,000 seater stadium. Some are just finding a random plot of grassland and plonking us there like it’s city tycoon
We really dont need all this shite again do we
why should he, it is as Gilbert later said a sensible precautionHas king spoke ?
Normally well easy to get him infront of a camera or on a microphone so its weird CWR haven't had him on already
Maybe he can shed some light
why should he, it is as Gilbert later said a sensible precaution
