What a guy...

 

[Kenny]

My guess is he wants to buy them and is trying to force their value down

Or renegotiate a higher rent

 

[Jack Regan]

Either way Coventry are likely fucked.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I absolutely loathe Mike Ashley, just a wanker for no reason.

 

[jd1981]

Yep seems like a right treat, Mrs and her family won’t be happy at all. Absolute nomadic existence since 2013. Moving from highfield road was the right idea but the Ricoh has turned out to be a disaster. Certainly didn’t a 33k stadium.

 

[Kenny]

Pele in palliative care and won't last much longer. That's so sad. Devastating.

His family have said this is not the case.
Saying he went to hospital due to a lung infection caused by Covid and will be home soon

[Deutsch Wolf]

He has a net worth of over £2.5bn.

Gouging Coventry City for a few grand more just because he can is being a wanker, isn't it. He doesn't need the additional income.

 

[Alan]

Of course he doesn't. Clearly that ain't stopping him.

They say that the mega rich don't get that way without being tight, miserly wankers.

Dolly Parton would disagree.

And Bill Gates

You mean the guy who ripped off his mates and fucked over his wife?

The bloke's a right twat.

Just to emphasise how mental the football market is Real Madrid are scraping together €70 million for a 16 year old kid (turns 18 in July 2024 ).
His name is Endrick and he's scored 3 goals in 7 appearances for Palmeiras.
70 fucking million!!!

Imagine paying for the next Neymar, Mbappe or Haaland.

That's what they're doing.

It's worked for them in the past with Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo (€120m the pair) now first team regulars and regulars for Brasil.

They have also spent big in two French lad who were teenagers in Camavinga (€28m) and Aurelien Tchouameni (€80m) who are defensive midfielders. All 4 of those were young and all 4 worth their money.
