I'd hope that the FA, and Football League would take a bigger interest in the deal, as they should have done in the past with all clubs, not just ours. About time that club ownership was looked at properly by the authorities for once, and not the laughable "fit and proper person" test.

Or you could warn against people like Sisu being in charge of our football club for years and be derided for it by the same people who are the most vocal anti-Sisu people now? Not want to jump straight for the first bid that comes in from similar people to Sisu just because we're desperate like...

You need a mass for mass protest though.

You're right, it should be done in private. In fact, until this week i had had no inkling whatsoever that some Hoffman bloke was even interested in buying the club. Why had nobody mentioned it before? You'd have thought that the CET might have mentioned it at least.

Er, none at all?

The CET owned by Trinity Mirror, which Hoffman is a director of, story? The CET has no relevance to anything concerning the club, were very pro-Sisu, and never asked any questions before(When Hoffman was on the board), now very much pro Hoffman and anti-Sisu. Would be nice to have an...

Why would they want to discredit and delay a deal to take over the club from credible investors when by their own admission they are losing a fortune every month? Ah, credible investors might be the sticking point there.

So it looks like Hoffman is a paper tiger after all then? Makes a change for a non pro-Hoffman story to be in the media though, is it not in a paper associated with Trinity Mirror?

He took his time to find backers, after all that was what he was brought onto the board for wasn't it? Again, do you know who the backers are? Are they individuals, or another hedge fund? You have no idea, yet, again, you give unquestioning backing. Quite possibly SISU, God knows i have no...

You wouldn't know what I'm getting at because you are pretty stupid. Do you know who will be pulling the purse strings on any Hoffman backed take-over? Hoffman himself it seems isn't the person, he's just bringing in "investors", rather like poor innocent Ranson did.

Did notice it after I'd typed it, but would have been unfair to edit it really, hoist by my own petard.

Given the evidence that they Dann and Fox were sold the following summer and that he said that he couldn't stop them leaving, their "heads were turned", I'd say that his "hands off" warning meaning the opposite was true. He wasn't actually very good at resigning either was he? Hoffman...

So what is the strategy from Hofman's backers? Indeed, who are Hoffman's backers? It was obvious to me, and others that the financial crisis was going to have an effect on any investment that SISU would be willing to put into the club, but the yay-sayers(opposite of nay-sayers?), were saying...

We tend to use capital letters when required, and don't try to make a new word such as braincell from two seperate words brain and cell. Still, is nice and ironic being called moronic by a moron.

Barclays Bank different from Barclaycard, besides Barclays only stopped from being RBS by being slightly outbid for ABN Amro by them. They also profited from the QE freeing up the credit markets and the implicit government guarantees that no bank would be allowed to fail, and also went cap in...

Sponsored the youth team to over £1million over the years? Really? Who knew there was so much money in spark plugs?

Vice chairman was a sinecure, after he'd been removed form running Barclaycard. Just shaking hands and big lunches(the proof of that easy to see) A bit deeper digging than a quick look on Wikipedia for people might help people get a more rounded view on things.

Ranson was taken for a ride?? You mean the Ranson you and the rest of the sycophants were proclaiming as a "successful businessman who won't be take for a ride by anybody", that Ranson? Sorry, never realised that he was an innocent in all the ways of business, and that when he sought out...

Did you think they gave a shit when they took over? Not a self-proclaimed smart ass at all, just generally right. Don't know why you should take such pride in being stupid, used to be a shameful thing to proclaim it so loudly.

I knew from the beginning they or Ranson weren't to be trusted, just a little bit of research on them would have told you that. What's productive in wanting the same types of people in charge, again brought in by Teflon Joe? You don't have to apologise for being a know-nothing idiot, as an...
