I think what Linnell was saying was: if there was a bid, it would be important to get it concluded before June, to allow the management staff plenty of time to start planning and training for the new season

this is interesting and sounds like there is something in this. I would expect that Hoffman's connections financially and RR 's connections it would not be so difficult to get 30k+ and arrange a deal with the council for the stadium set over a period of years with immediate and total rights.
Don't expect anything to come to fruition for some months though...

Actually spoke to " well connected person " last week , he confirmed what we probably know in that talks are happening at the moment with a potential investor / investors and they are " hopeful of a deal ". But did say that without investment a lot of our better players will not be there next season .

He was in the Casino last night, and he said any investment he manages to bring in will hopefully be done before June.

Leonard Brody has responded to someone asking about these rumours on twitter, insisting the club is not for sale. The message is SISU will welcome investment, but they will not sell. I wonder if he'd consider working with them again or if he's only after buying the club from them?

I'm not entirely sure when they say they want investment but not buying. Maybe they're happy to sell off a certain proportion of the club for the investment, but want to remain in overal control?

I think the whole "not for sale" thing is just posturing.
KD said that it took a lot of persuading to get SISU to put in the £8m to stop the club going into receivership. So we're supposed to believe that they were very close to letting it go into receivership, but wouldn't accept money for it...........
Anyone like to explain that???????????

Richard Keys attended the game on Saturday and, as we all know , he was in the company of Gary Hoffman. He stated on Talksport about 2 hours ago that the current owners of Coventry City would appear to have run out of money and, as such there could well be a takeover at the end of the season. It seems Hoffman and Keys chatted over their complimentary 'shandy'.

If it's just like our better players then Hoffman doesn't need to worry about a takeover bid. He can just get the club on a free at the end of the season.

This is what has confused me throughout. You'd think in their situation they'd be happy to get ANY cash back-and jump at every chance to publicise our availability! Dulieu said they'd convinced SISU to "give them a shot at getting some of their investment back" (rather than liquidate us, presumably). So surely any bid is better than that? Isn't a 10-20m bid a fair % of their investment back?
As ever, there is so much more we don't know about behind the scenes. If it's just posturing..well, it's pathetic. But then SISU acting like pathetic children (Brody in particular) shouldn't surprise anyone.

Dont forget Hoffman is still an associate director so is still working alongside Sisu.
