That doesn't make any sense. Just pay them the value. Another indication that the consortium are short on funds.

Exactly why we need to know as much detail as possible rather than blindly supporting something on the basis of 'it can't get any worse'.

Nice try but that's nothing like what I said. Information has been leaked out deliberately, knowing who by is another piece of the puzzle that might allow us to see the bigger picture. If Wasps were involved I would consider that a very important detail as I would have serious concerns about...

Baker is up for a pitch invasion.

New series confirmed by Fox, 10 episodes airing 2017/18.

Isn't the point that they don't have to accept anything they don't want to so any offer will need to be attractive to them?

Surely that depends what Hoffman is agreeing to?

Yes. If its via Wasps it will confirm they have some involvement. If its via Hoffman or his associates then it shows that from day 1 they are feeding the fans BS.

I only really see Hoffman as an short term owner. I don't think he has what we need to get back to our former level in the long term. Obviously a short term deal to play at the Ricoh is required otherwise we'll have nowhere to play but we would be wise to avoid blindly agreeing to anything Wasps...

At the moment SISU hold all the cards so if you want to get control of the club by them isn't it best to jump through their hoops no matter how pointless? If they have the money proof of funds is easy to provide. Why not just provide it and remove another possible barrier to a takeover.

That worries me. Sounds like OSB was correct in his concern that Hoffman and his consortium don't have the funds themselves. We're hardly flush with money as it is, promising to give up 50% of future transfer fees and selling the training ground (where would we train?) surely has implications...

Is he starting up his own hedge fund :greedy:

The leak didn't come from Reid and the Observer it came from Italia on here and I highly doubt that came via SISU.

Haven't listened yet, which one of these statements is correct. Has he or has he not provided proof of funds and details of the investors?

Some good news at last. Who did he say were the other investors?

Would love to see this as a positive and a sign that a decent offer that could be accepted is likely but this doesn't seem to be it. I can't see SISU living on the promise of some money down the line if things go well. They know from the last 10 years how that plan can work out. Reckon they will...

The same Hoffman that was moaning yesterday about 'the club' making it known he had made a bid as it was supposed to be confidential?

As they say seven figure rather than an amount I'd say its £1m. Better but still a long way off what SISU will be looking for. In my opinion SISU aren't going to be interested in anything that involves a big chunk of the payment coming years down the line if any success is achieved. You'd have...

they must have all been sold.

Would be foolish of anyone to think the timing was coincidental. That's the way forward. Put in a serious bid, show who the investors are and give proof of funds. Even better if they let the supporters know they have a viable plan and the backing to make it work. Do that and I doubt there...
