    The SBT have joined forces with the Consortium...

    I think that's why it was good when Wasps said publicly that they were prepared to negotiate a further deal for the Ricoh, goes some way to preventing SISU from claiming to the FL that they are being evicted, simply because Joy or Timmy can't be bothered to pick up the phone.

    The SBT have joined forces with the Consortium...

    Think these are good ideas, both from the practical side and also to re-inforce the message to SISU that the forces are ranged against them, and are deadly serious in their intentions. Probably have no effect other than to slightly increase the pressure. If the JR fails again it further reduces...

    The SBT have joined forces with the Consortium...

    Obviously as Jan said, unless SISU agree to sell it's all no more than planning what would happen IF. I think it's good that interested parties are getting together to plan a future for the Club and can agree on the strategy for rebuilding when SISU are finally gone. I believe fans should have...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Think he's gone public for a good reason, to tell SISU that there is serious money involved, and to try to force Joy round the table to discuss it in a proper professional businesslike manner.

    Rent

    Could it be Wasps positioning themselves so they cannot be blamed for ejecting CCFC from the Ricoh if the worst came to the worst. It puts the ball very much in SISU's court, puts pressure on them. Interesting if GH already has a verbal deal with Wasps should he takes over

    Investment on the Horizon?

    The fascinating thing about the possibility of a Red Bull takeover is that the job they need to do at Cov is exactly the job they have already done at Leipzig. The 2 key issues are of course:- a. How much would it cost to get rid of SISU ? b. How important would it be to them to own their...

    Hoffman bid rumours

    Is the significance of 30 June the date when players contracts expire (those whose contracts run out anyway) ? The hope being that if GH has control of the club by then, he might be able to persuade Westy, Gunnar, King etc to stay ?

    Its official: Ranson has gone; Statement to follow at 2pm today

    It seems there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we know nothing about. I hope this is manoeuvering to allow Ranson and Hoffman to put a bid together. SISU would then be able to say they had an offer "too good to refuse" and make the exit we all want with nobody losing face. If not, I...

    The Mirror: Ranson planing summer takeover bid!

    If there are two separate consortiums interested in taking the club over, would it not make sense for them to combine to make one group, so that no potential investment is lost to the club. Presumably Messrs Ranson and Hoffman worked together on the board, and seem to feel the same way about...
