He's very short sighted, so you're in with a chance if you keep your distance.

So short sighted in fact....he once came off at half time of a football match complaining that his legs were really burning under his socks. He found out after the game that instead of packing his deep heat gel in his kit bag, he'd accidentally picked up a tube of photo glue and spent 10 minutes massaging that into his legs before the game. Melted all his leg hair.
Bastard and true lol

If Ashley isn’t interested in the football club why’s Richard keys commenting on the cbs purchase it via Twitter?

Keys was on the money last night so he and Hoffman must be ‘advising’ him on something?

Not that I’m aware off. Just the tweet last night around 5pm letting the cat out of the bag reg Ashley.
That's what I mean, he was clearly given that info.

I was quoting ccc when they wanted to do pr asking if he had been spoken to.

It was an open secret - it’s hardly a big coup

The more you think about it , surely the club must have suspected something wouldn't be straightforward once Richardson put himself on the board of ACL?

Exactly.

Keys and Hoffman are in my opinion advising Ashley behind the scenes. Somethings happening…

Advising him about what though?
I’d imagine Hoffman knows the financial position of SISU as good as anyone. He’s got a smart financial brain and probably given Ashley’s options on how to play this out. Just my thoughts.

Keys is probably in his ear encouraging him on lol.

I can’t believe Ashley once he gets the arena will go after CCFC. As ISB said earlier, he could sweat SISU out over time but he’ll definitely get his hands on CCFC given time.

Just my thoughts obviously.

I don't get why SISU are hanging around like a bad fart. They aren't wanted, they are not liked, are they even making any money?

Why on earth would a billionaire retailer with previous experience of owning one of the biggest clubs in the country need Keys advise?
I was referring to Hofmann. Obviously Ashley is talking to keys as he tweeted last night before it’s was confirmed so you can bet your last pound in your pocket Hoffman’s around…

If they sell for less than the listed amount on their investor accounts, then they've got a lot of explaining to do.
There is no way that they'll realise that sum. Hence, they're stuck & we might be stuck with them for a bit longer. Lets hope their other investments are making massive profits to cover a potential "paper loss" on CCFC.

I just can't believe that MA would buy a stadium and have no interest in buying the football club associated with it.

I can’t believe Sisu would buy a football club and have no interest in buying the stadium associated with it.

But here we are.

The difference is that MA spends his own money on projects that he thinks he can revive, but he is a man who likes being involved in football.

SISU spend their investors money and have already burnt their fingers being involved in a football club that they're not interested in. SISU don't have lots of money; only what they can persuade their investors to lay out
