Best news in decades.
All those years of pain, misery, and uncertainty are finally over. It’s made me feel a bit emotional.
This was the last thing holding us back. This is final closure on the worst period in our history
We will be back in the premier league within a few years
Wow I'm genuinely in shock. Still part of me things some sort of practical joke
This is just huge. It doesn't mean we will become a champions league club or anything but it feels like a massive weight holding us down has been taken away
The sky is the actual limit now for us sky blues! Let's go smash QPR
Thank you to
Mark robins and Doug king in particular. Although don't wanna make it about sisu you do wonder if this could ever shave happened without them making councils life hard too.
Everything happens for a reason I guess
PUSB!
I'm actually surprised how emotional I am about this. Never thought we'd see the day we actually have it back in our hands - a proper home. King's played a blinder - only a few weeks back he was putting out smokescreens about needing a our ownnew stadium
How good is it that this just dropped though, out of nowhere.Makes you realise there's no ITKs anymore.
Thought you were suggesting these as new lyrics to the song.Woke up, saw the tweet and I just couldn't comprehend it. I was like its not April 1st so what's the catch.
Still can't quite believe it.
And to think a couple of weeks ago you had people trying to stir up a story that we were moving to the Butts
Was tongue in cheek about the lettering. Although a subtle tribute would be nice 'Coventry Cidy'Hope not. Really pleased he has managed to do this but much prefer an owner who operates in the background than one who does things for self aggrandisement. I always thought the Doug Ellis Stand at Villa sounded tinpot.
Doug's bringing in 'text a sub' on a premium rate to fund the purchaseI might celebrate this news today by going to Northampton’s home game
Take her to the anecdote and then casino afterWell what a momentous day in the club’s history. If Doug doesn’t achieve anything else he should be remembered for this alone.
Coincidentally it’s my 29th anniversary today, so hopefully 3 points a nice table booked for 7-30pm and………………..
Had to laugh at the Mrs earlier as she now thinks going forward that our anniversary will be put on the back burner for the day that Doug purchased the CBS!
The song will be resounding round the Arena this afternoon.Still can't bring myself to waking up this morning feeling fine.
It explains why the club sorted the turnstiles etc etc etc.
Great news. Feels a bit weird.
I imagine his song will be sung with much pride even among the sceptics. PUSB
Steady on..He’s his own man.Anyone who decides to come for DK now gets a smack in the face. Geezer is doing gods work.
Wasps, SISU & the Council... Gone, but never forget.
I'm having to stop reading this thread in order to wipe tears from my eyes.. fantastic news!Happy birthday to me... Best present possible!
The club is owned by Doug King.
It includes:
Modern day stadium with all year round revenue
Training ground
Talented squad
Top manager
We are now a top target for investors or approaches to buy the club. Not saying Doug will sell but we’ve never been in a better position.
It’s only his birthday mate, calm down!I'm having to stop reading this thread in order to wipe tears from my eyes.. fantastic news!
Fuckin' hell...that's come out of the blue.
How was this kept secret ?
It's amazing news, but so incredibly unexpected.
Have to say...Doug has played a blinder, and even his staunchest critic must now admit, that so far, he's been a magnificent custodian of our club.
Best Deal Ever.
He'll be getting Fishy Moore's reopened at this rateAnyone who decides to come for DK now gets a smack in the face. Geezer is doing gods work.
Who’s this guy? Taint Dale Evans
I never thought I'd see the day when the ground is actually our proper home now.Genuinely made me cry. Absolute pivotal moment for the club. Amazing amazing news.

Fair play SparksOK Bling. Fine. You've won me over ffs.
I profess to have no knowledge of this kind of stuff, but doesn't all this depend on how the purchase has been financed? What do we know about that?The club wasn’t worth 1 pence yesterday as it had zero asset value - overnight it’s worth millions. It has income streams and external potential investment it’s never had in its history.
Keep imagining! And change your username!
