Just been thinking the last I heard of this guy he was trying to buy half the ground, then it never happened and it all went very quiet ! Did anyone ever hear anything after that! What could have been if Appleton chose him !! (Clown)

Think that Keys said twice last year that Haskell had defintely bought half the Ricoh.
Guess that means he must own the whole lot then.
Maybe he's responded to the urgings of Dongle and bought Nuneaton so he can call them Northampton Sky Blues and play at the Ricoh.

Haskell weren't going to hang about waiting for our owners
He didn't need to. Last we heard he was still buying the Higgs share anyway....
He isn't I assure you, he has realised what a joke it all is and done one. He is a smart man remember.
You mean the guy who wanted to buy the stadium and the team as a package?
Unfortunately the team was needed as a hostage in a plan by its owners to get the same but for a lot cheaper.
So he walked away.
When we first entered Admin in the summer he was "a couple of weeks" away from buying the Ricoh that's what I heard on CWR, however Leeds Fans said he never bought there Club as he couldn't back his hype with cash, so I will leave that for everyone to ponder.
Fairly simple. The prestige for this guy relates to owning a football club not just a building. If there was a chance of owning both there would be a few interested parties.
Individually both CCFC and Ricoh will just plod along but neither will achieve there full potential until they are bought together.
Does not matter whether it is a lease or purchase agreement as both will mutually benefit.
Sisu selfishly want to maximise their profits by a hostile take over of the Ricoh (good business though ?). Unfortunate the fans are collateral damage.
He saw the business plan of playing at the Ricoh, the attitude of local people towards the football owning it and thought fuck this I'm off.

The guy is/was a property developer...there's nothing to say he was after the prestige of owning a football club. His intentions for all you or I know, could've been as good as SISUs...
WM
Don't need to assure me of anything. That was last June when he said he was pressing ahead with the Ricoh and eventually CCFC.
Haskell wasn't fussed about the football club.
It was all about the Ricoh and the Surronding land for PH4, like it was for Byng, we actually have more chance of Sisu getting us higher up the Football League Pyarmid then Byng or Haskell.
Are you having a laff , the only place we are going with SISU is down mate, and the sooner you and others see that the better.
I am being deadly serious, what you have to realise is at some point Sisu will cut their losses and go, this will only happen when they have a) Something worth selling or b) A succeesful enterprise, if they can achieve both and recoup all their investment they'd get out of Coventry that I am sure of. The only way to do this would be to purchase the Ricoh as cheaply as possible and ensure we maintain a higher league status. A third division Club means nothing to them and it's worth them keeping than selling.
