To be fair that's quite easy as he is dead.

As much as it pains me to partially agree with freaking Epsom Derby over here, but he's not wrong. With that being said, I do like the direction the club is going, plus freaking RedRum here is a prick, so who knows
King bought the club and has put £6 million in
There cannot have been debt owed as has been claimed.
The £25m comment is just not relevant
- He had 25million quid allegedly to buy the place. Even allowing the club to use 20% of that would make a massive difference no?
I’m not saying I’m against King - but I’m still wary, SISU started well enough, invested in young players with resale with the aim of developing and selling on and then restarting the process.But let’s not kid ourselves the alternatives were Sisu for longer or possibly William Storey ().
We didn’t have an emirate billionaire desperate to buy us, in fact any interest in buying us for the previous near decade was via Gary Hoffman trying to rescue us from Sisu.
sitting on the fence with King is like replacing Godden with Jota but not enjoying it because you would have preferred Harry Kane.
If we get back to the Premier League I doubt King will be the long term owner but for now for the first time in 20 years we are actually trying to do it.
investing in the team in a material way
Improving scouting and buying players with potential
Using data analytics
Greater adoption of sports science
Investment in training ground
Open communication with fans / media
Commercial proposition being modernised
Season ticket sales at record levels and prices frozen
That sounds like progress to me …..
They’re not comparable investments at all.He had 25million quid allegedly to buy the place. Even allowing the club to use 20% of that would make a massive difference no?
He didn't have £25m just burning a hole in his pocket to buy the stadium. He possibly could've raised that amount to buy the stadium because property is seen as a decent, safe investment.Why isnt it relevant?
The bloke was publically open about buying the Arena for 25 million quid. Whilst at the same time, not knowing where it was, and never having been there.
Thats quite relevant is it not as it pertains a few things:
-He didn't have the first clue about us
-Who told him to bid for the stadium, and what it was worth when he hadnt even set foot in it or knew where it was
- He had 25million quid allegedly to buy the place. Even allowing the club to use 20% of that would make a massive difference no?
We also invested materially in January with Torp and EMC.I’m not saying I’m against King - but I’m still wary, SISU started well enough, invested in young players with resale with the aim of developing and selling on and then restarting the process.
He’s the one demanding FA Cup runs and play offs regularly - that requires investment. Now last year it was good - he’s shown that he’ll reinvest money when it comes in. The question is - is what happens if Gyokeres doesn’t go from sporting, how are we going to fund the what we can see small squad that isn’t equipped to make the top 6.
at the moment he’s doing a good job, but at the moment everything has just fell into his lap

My main concern is the club’s long term future and what happens if we don’t get promoted within the next 4 seasons. I don’t think here’s here beyond that time.The Doug takeover seemed a bit too good to be true so I get the initial stand-offishness. However he’s done a tremendous job since he took over and I’m not sure why anyone is still questioning him.
Is he not exactly what you want in an owner? Runs the club sensibly (albeit we are still loss making), backs the manager, engaged with the fan base and listens to feedback, and attends nearly every match.
Without doubt the club is in a better place but considering our record with hedge fund owners, it’s better to ask questions about what’s going on.We also invested materially in January with Torp and EMC.
I thought he extracted max value from the Vik and Hamer situations and much more than SISU would have done.
Well the 6m he’s put in is nearly 25% of 25m, so there’s that…Why isnt it relevant?

The 6 million he has invested is over 5% of 25 million.Why isnt it relevant?

Still making us pay for our own pints though isn’t heSome cunts are just never satisfied.
We wanted SISU out, King bought them out.
We wanted to stay at the Arena, we're staying at the Arena.
We wanted MR on a longterm contract, we've got MR on a longterm contract.
We wanted top money for our players, wer'e getting top money for our players
We wanted investment in the training ground, we're getting investment in the playing ground.
We wanted big days out at Wembley, we're getting big days out at Wembley
We wanted record attendances, we're getting record attendances.
We wanted a team to be proud of, we've got a team to be proud of.
And still some weasely clueless cunts aren't happy!!!!
Sorry for the rant, but honestly it boils my piss reading some of the pathetic shit on here sometimes.
Here's a thought, wy not get behind DK and actually try and support what he's trying to achieve!
Yea, the wanker!Still making us pay for our own pints though isn’t he
Jesus. Really ?Jury still out for me personally. Will take a lot for me to be able to trust an owner, especially when they’re a millionaire business person!
So far he hasn’t done anything of note to give me a reason to dislike him, but also, when times are hard I want to see how he responds then.

Il give you that; thats a valid pointHe’s spent £6 million a point you refuse to acknowledge
How much did the club actually cost? I can’t remember the figures
Jesus. Really ?
if you don’t want a rich owner you are in the wrong sport !
£0.00p
He would not have paid £25m for it - that value would have come down a fair bit.Why isnt it relevant?

You have zero evidence of that.£0.00p
You have zero evidence of that.
The Vik and Hamer fees were not a windfall but rather assets that were valued in the transaction. If King got more than the sale valuation then that is to his credit ….
I keep seeing stuff like "let's see what DK does/spends when times are hard"
What exactly are you expecting? For him to spend money we or he don't have? Ridiculous expectation.
If it’s true SISU owed him money and basically gave him the club instead of cash why is that a negative on King and why argue over whether that counts as buying the club or not?£0.00p
