Nobody's saying he's not a good player.

The squad is lightweight, but central defence is the one area we're relatively overstocked. Plus this is a player we haven't even seen in around a year.

The thing I don't get is - why sabotage a bid when you can just reject it? It can't be a PR thing as people hate SISU either way. Something doesn't add up, has anyone got one of those detective macs and an old monochrome video camera?

It wouldn't be the first time backers have changed their minds, that Manhattan group come to mind. This is just a wild theory of course, the sad truth is that it doesn't really matter any more.

It would fit, as the whole saga has an air of Carry On farce about it. Anyone heard Ken's dirty laugh?

While your theory seems the most obvious, it could be theorised that the investors saw an easy way to pull out whilst saving face. After all, we know even less about them. I believe Hoffman 100% had the right intentions, but that's not always enough. I don't really buy the idea that seasoned...

I don't really see anyone 'hating' Hoffman. At worst there are people who were cynical as to whether anything would come of this, which is looking to be the case. Mixing up facts, speculation and guesswork as to what actually happened seems pretty fruitless.

Oh, this is unfortunate.

As hilarious as your character evaluation of me is, doctor; it's not that I don't agree with you, it's that I don't understand you. For example: 'SISU board...cannot attent the Derby game for there owns sake. It'll get messy' followed by 'Let the knumskulls killing the club know the supporters...

It's not sleep that's the problem. Maybe a lack of it on your part.

Erm, what? I'm not rowing with anyone, merely questioning something rather than blindly believing it. I don't need to give Hoffman a break nor am I 'seeing the bad' in him, I doubt he's crying himself to sleep because I asked a fairly sensible question. Never mind, I just saw what inspired...

No it isn't.

Why would Robbie Savage and Garth Crooks have responsibility for instilling confidence in a random Championship team?

I don't really understand the original post.

If Hoffman's merely echoing stuff he's read that's one thing, but be it SISU or the anti-SISU, the last few weeks have taught us if nothing else that every word should be questioned.

He's saying that the Le Fondre bid involved no actual plan to sign the player, so insinuating it was a facade to placate the fans who want to see transfer action. He hasn't been on the board for a good few months so unless it was planned before then, I'd question how he'd be able to tell us...

He was on the board, but I doubt they'd have had long term intentions to low-ball Rotherham and create a facade of signing a League Two striker. That's the one that sticks out as odd to me.

How would he know the transfer goings-on when he's clearly persona non grata at the club?

What kind of businessmen get butthurt when their integrity is questioned? They're businessmen.

He was right, Man Utd won the league thanks largely to Cantona and Schmeichel. Logically, this means Eastwood and Murphy will be the catalysts for our promotion. Get down the bookies folks!
