Ha let's be clear, they are not going to take control of the club, just to turn around and say "you know what, we havn't got any money" Things like sun tan Ken giving away names of the backers live on radio and some confidential info on the take over offer just by chance of the lord above...

I thought he was getting into the right places most of the time, he looks quick too. Today he did lack that sharpness, but overall I'm happy with what I seen of the lad.

WRONG His bid was dumped by his backers because of how Sisu have gone about things in the most unprofessional way.

Well done Cyrus !

Tim Shitwood would be one

Just had £20 on McDonald to score first. Fingers crossed.

I'm sure most Cov fans would hope for an alternative but like you say, sadly there is not, my view though is that there isn't an alternative because of sisu. Weather true or not, that is definitely how i see it Torchy.

We were in the championship when sisu took control, = no better then. We are still losing a hell of a lot of money = no better then. The squad is not better now than when they became owners. = no better then The attendances at the Ricoh are down from when sisu became owners. =...

But it wasn't them or oblivion because they was an other interested party, If sisu got the club for nothing then they shouldn't be up in arms when they get offered nothing for it, of course there is an argument there. How it can be ok for others to lose money for sisu to take control but...

I don't think we are in a better situation now, we are still losing money, we still don't own any of the stadium, we have a smaller squad, and to top it all off, we have taken out a loan on future ticket sales. :o

Exactly ! We can all see pages,posts and thoughts of someones opinions on Hoffman But the fact he keeps getting top end jobs in the business world of finance says a lot more.

I really hope that it comes off. I must admit that i would use the train more than my car if the choice was there.

The alternative bid was Hoffmans bid,and in my opinion was a good thing for our club. Sisu didn't want to go for it because they would have had to have given the club up for nothing, somthing they said wasn't good enough. Funny thing is, thats how they got our club in the first place. Its now...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/8097879/Northern-Rock-chief-Gary-Hoffman-tipped-to-depart-next-week.html ''Mr Hoffman has been credited with the dramatic turnaround at Northern Rock'' Just your facts ;)

I just asked him to have a look at it all really and give me his opinion. His view on Hoffman, his view on how Sisu have run the club, stuff like that really, he looked at stuff on companys house or somthing. I just don't really understand all that sort of stuff so i thought i would ask...

Why have you got to be such a dick head ? Are we not all Coventry fans but just with different opinions ???? If you don't like views that are different from your own then you really shouldn't be on an internet forum. Grow up!

Well look I don't try to claim that I know how the world of business finance works, and I'm not here to just blindly stick up for who I think is the best option for Coventry city football. So I ask people who do know the world of business and as my soon to be retiring dad who is the owner /...

But he did turn things around a hell of a lot at NR And he IS a well respect business man.

But what would Hoffman gain from putting a bid forward with no money in place to back it up ? He is a well respected business man who would do a lot better job at city than Sisu. I think the reason they didn't come back in with another bid is quite clear, Sisu have messed them about so much...

But there isn't an alternative to Sisu because Sisu sabotaged the bid put forward, and will try to do the same with any other bid that doesn't give them there money back. I would rather believe a Cov fan with the respect that Hoffman has in the business world, than Sisu. IMO the rival bid...
