But long before they even agree to a due dillegence process sisu will demand to know Hoffmans investors like they did last year. So your boss will be known to sisu anyway. I see no reason to take the long and winding road and pull in Hoffman - sisu will only see it as a hostile take over.

It's really not too difficult. First step is to find out if sisu want out ... only sisu can tell him that. Second step is to valuate the club and it's assets and liabilities (due dilligence). Third step is negotiate a realistic price for the loans and acceptable payback conditions. Fourth step...

And let me add: Hoffman and sisu have a bad history - that alone will corrupt any negotiation, so I think it will be a big mistake to involve him. What's your priority? Have Hoffman back or sisu out? I don't think there's a realistic chance for having both.

Why go to Hoffman? Why not go directly to the club? If your boss is as loaded as you say, he will be met with open arms. And if he's loaded, he'll be able to find his own advisors and negotiators - he won't need Hoffman. Don't let your personal feelings get in your way - otherwise you will...

No thx - enough people are complaining about the post match interviews already ...

Remind me ... how many of our managers the past 5 years were defenders in their playing days? I think the mentality and 'work experience' the manager is brought up with will reflect on the tactics and style of play he wants from the team. Maybe his own background will influence on decisions...

Correct - like I said: Why would ACL want to be (part) owner of the debts to sisu?

You do know that the shares in the club has zero value, so even surrendering every share wouldn't equal much rent reduction. And why would ACL be interested in become (part) owner of the debts to sisu?

Roland Nilsson last managed FC Copenhagen - that included the group stage of champions league. Quite a deroute if he took over a league 1 club ...

Yes, as we will soon be evicted we may as well play all our home fixtures today.

I don't love them - I love my family only. But I respect what they are trying to do (for the last 1½ year).

Who is telling you sisu are blameless?

You ridicule my username in this context. Let me see ... Godiva protested against Lenfric who she thought demanded too much tax for the poor to pay and the consequence of them having to establish huge debts. No, I can see what you mean - there are no similarities to the current rent dispute.

Well, in that case we are not disagreeing on much - I have made myself a nuisance on this board advocating that Ransons reign was a total failure. That include the esteemed Hoffman and Elliott! We need to understand that sisu actually only took over the operational running of the club last year...

True ... what is exactly what could have happened 5 years had they not taken over the club. The current owners did not bring us to a situation where only high risk investors would consider taking over the club - previous owners did that. Still - sisu stand to lose a hell of a lot of money if...

You're right, this is what they do - come in as a last chance and turning a terminal loss making business into a viable profit making business. I can't help but feeling quite optimistic for the club at the minute.

They have the power to wind up the club anyday they want and have had that power since they took over. Why would they intentionally spend +30m over five years to get maybe 3m or even 5m back? Even if they are so devious as you imply, that plan is surely somewhat flawed.
