Not trying to create debate or controversy but hands up - I’ve been highly critical of Doug and I still lament the decision to give Robins only 14 games to prove himself without AV amongst other decisions BUT this is a master stroke.
To deal with MA on the complete quiet and purchase the stadium and give us our own home after 20 years of tenancy, is a phenomenal act that I never thought I would see accomplished.
I’m only gutted that so many of our loved ones who sat along side us at HR and the Ricoh until we left for Northampton aren’t here to see his day. Our home is ours.
Bravo Doug, you’ve done what I thought only a sheik or a euro millions win would achieve.
Who put the ball in Derby's net? Half our fucking Former Players Association didWow. Never thought I’d see the day. Genuinely shocked and thrilled and feel like finally we can put the last fifteen years of shite behind us. Love the symmetry of battering derby in our last game at HR and our last game without a stadium of our own twenty years later. We should invite them back in twenty years for a testimonial hammering.
Looked a while ago so on memory but think there the book keepers on all of Doug’s business. No shares noted by themWho is bcs cosec ltd on covcityco accounts
Our new owners USIS
who’s waiting for Joy to pull this out…
Tim about to be introduced on the pitch at halftime?Our new owners USIS
They can get rid of that cr@p Frasers advertising now..
Reconciliation always the way
Amazing news. I wonder if Doug has given Mike Ashley or Frazers some equity in the club to help facilitate the deal? Being pragmatic having the assets combined makes us a far more saleable entity in the long run and all parties will know that.
Either way excellent for the club and f
Why not? He may already, own a share!Just give it up....he isn't going to buy the club ffs.
You're a better man than me, mate, always will be.
I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone, but if I saw Maton (for example), crossing the road, I ain't braking.
Afaik CBS signed a 10 year contract. Must be 4 years in, maybe?This is a point. When are sponsorship/naming rights up?
Jesus. Maybe let’s not have death threats against named city fans shall we?
How do you know? Why wouldn't he?He doesn’t? Why would he?
I would guess only used by people at a conference and / or staying at the hotelJust out of interest whats the anecdote like on a non match day?
Thank fuck this kills off any prospect of Mike Ashley ever owning us, piss off Kingpin.
That contract's probably dead now but I shouldn't think either side wants that to happenAfaik CBS signed a 10 year contract. Must be 4 years in, maybe?
Thank fuck this kills off any prospect of Mike Ashley ever owning us, piss off Kingpin.
We’re still tenants? We have a 96 year lease or whatever.
Still brilliantWell all be dead when it expires, chill out
Steady on Clint!! Can't be as miserable as me and suddenly change. However, I may indulge one corner of my mouth to move in a slightly upward direction.Keep imagining! And change your username!
Just out of interest whats the anecdote like on a non match day?
Plus leaseholders have much more rights than tenants.Well all be dead when it expires, chill out
Nah some of us will still be posting on hereWell all be dead when it expires, chill out
How do you know? Why wouldn't he?
If he wanted the club he’d have got it instead of King in the first placeThe shares have zero rights of voting that have been issued since inception. There is zero point in anyone owning them other than King.
What would the benefit be of purchasing shares which have no voting rights or any guaranteed income?
Only from one poster tbfMadness that there's negative posts about this on here ffs.
I don't believe he ever wanted the club.If he wanted the club he’d have got it instead of King in the first place
I can believe that he may have looked at it when the chance to get the stadium came up, no more.I don't believe he ever wanted the club.
