    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    They could. Not likely to happen though while they aren't making losses. More likely is they cut costs again following relegation.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Becomes more viable if they can either sell Ryton or transfer it to a different company. Still would be better selling. Player contracts would have no worth (reference Rangers), ditto the golden share. The only asset with value in liquidation is Ryton. Liquidation is a last resort when you have...

    I'm in for a £1000 worth of shares?

    The Green Bay Packers issue shares every so often but you get no real rights/say. Would people be interested if this was the offer? I would, with a nice paper share as proof of ownership to hang on my wall. http://deadspin.com/5866292/the-feel-good-scam-of-owning-the-packers The Feel-Good Scam...

    I'm in for a £1000 worth of shares?

    They would be better offering shares at a low starting price to include more people, and allow people to buy more. You should expect to never see your money again though so please don't see it as an investment. As someone said earlier, best to have different incentives for different levels of...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I was responding to an earlier post. There is no real benefit to Sisu at this time of liquidating. I think you may have misunderstood or misread what I'd said or the earlier posts(s) I was responding to.

    How is the club worth more

    You are looking at it from your view though. See it through their eyes and you trust yourself to turn it round. At the end of the day, these people have had success in business before and have massive ego's, so will back themselves to get a return whether we think they are right or wrong. They...

    How is the club worth more

    The difference is that they are currently in control of that destiny. To be fair, the first offer was ridiculous. The second offer looked a little better. Hopefully they can get to a position that is acceptable to both but I highly doubt it, particularly as there is much bad blood between the...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    It would still be Coventry City and retain our history, etc. There may need to be a subtle name change but can be minor. Does anyone consider Rangers a completely different club? Don't know if what you mean is a "protest club", which is completely different and would not be a continuation. This...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    If we were liquidated it would be a new club, in legal terms. Different to what happened a few years back. Liquidation would mean a minimum 2 division drop (so Conference North as a minimum). Please do not hope for liquidation (not saying you are).

    third bid

    To be clear, it's not what I'd want. I'd much rather someone like Hoffman (despite his faults) who is a fan and has the clubs interests at heart. All I meant is that if Fisher removed the owners with a consortium of his own it would be better (theoretically) than Sisu staying.

    third bid

    I do agree, however, if he was the only option to remove sisu from the picture then I'd take it.

    third bid

    To be fair, Fisher has never been the problem. It's those that own the club, he's just an employee. Not saying he's the most likeable person in the world but he isn't the cause of the issues. If he were to bring new owners in and rid us of Sisu he'd at least deserve a chance to prove himself.

    Nice link to peruse

    Remember when Callum Wilson was rubbish because he couldn't even score on a regular basis for Kettering & Tamworth? How times change.

    third bid

    It could be the complete opposite. He could be advising the owners to sell and resigning because of their refusal. Nothing other than rumour suggesting he has gone yet is there?

    How is the club worth more

    Not sure there has been a £10m bid I'm reality has there? Think the 10m you quote mostly relied on a return to the Premier league.

    Is it likely to be neutral ground or will it be at one of the teams home grounds?

    Don't know if people are just getting the wrong end of the stick with them recruiting a new CEO.

    His comments regarding Sisu - he's hardly going to put the knife into his employers a few weeks into a new job.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I doubt it's been restricted because of swearing (surprised if it's been restricted at all). Not sure what it's for, let me look into it. Edit: Not really for swearing (although dropping the c-bomb is bad enough), more for the way it was used to insult someone. There are kids that use this...
