Is this from Keys or somewhere else?

So basically it’s bollocks until proven otherwise.

Only sources I’ll listen to at this point are Gilbert and SaddleBrains. And I’ve got my doubts about SaddleBrains

Well that escalated since my lunch read.

What a rollercoaster and have to say I’ve come off it not excited at all.

Tbf to @Saddlebrains I had heard very similar with some slight differences. It then went a bit quieter and worrying, then positive again.

Been quiet last 24 hours and I guess this is why.

I’m really not excited by the Ashley stuff. Especially if it is linked to Hoffman (rumoured).

I suspect Ashley would buy CCFC but not at the price SISU will demand. Ultimately it’s clear that to move forward we either build our own stadium or SISU cut their losses and get what they can. Some realism from SISU is needed.

The Ashley preferred bidder is just the usual Telegraph rehash and taking Keyes tweet for gospel again.

I mean if Ashley really set aside 50 million for the Derby sale is it that out of the ordinary to think he'd go straight in?

Watch Ashley buy Nuneaton or the Brakes or similar and shift them to the CBS for the laugh, bankroll them to the league.

Satire. I hope.

There is no way Ashley would be daft enough to say he wants either Cov or Wasps at this stage. More likely he’ll wait for Joy Sepalla to call and tell her she needs to pay more to use the ground or she can F off to Walsall or Northampton. Or of course he’ll give her 50p and a packet of Crisps for the club which she will gratefully accept.

More turbulence ahead I fear.

With the club stuck in the middle of it.

This is the kind of shit the council should be ensuring doesn't happen to CCFC any more.

Being a Cov fan is like playing Football Manager. I’m only interested in the matches but have to spend fucking hours understanding and going through all the off the field shit to get there.

Definitely on topic for this thread.

Is it goodbye - finally - to the fax machine?

Ofcom is consulting on changes to telecoms rules that could see fax machines become obsolete.

Did Clive just say there is another ten day extension?
Or was he referring to the previous which left us wondering if and where we play.

It's quite obvious, Shmmeee, The bid which has the best chance of actually using the Arena for sport.

Which was what the Arena was actually designed for.

Just helping out the mushrooms at the council.
