If they’re going to fuck around using CCFC as a football messing with fans emotions to do it then they’re no better than SISU and can equally fuck off.

Whoever our next owners are they need to prove that they’re better than the last. It’s not a tall ask given how low the bar is set and evicting the club in a game of cat and mouse isn’t the right foot to start of on.

We've had shit owners for the last 18/19 years. In all of that time there has been one constant involvement in the club which has helped fuck things up.
Answers on a postcard please.

What a complete balls up and distraction by Hoffman/Elliot/Richardson and Co while MR tries to get us up. Could not understand before why Wasps would be willing to give up on CCFC tenancy before but it's plain to see the whole effort including the disgraceful attempt to steal the academy site was a co-ordinated plan all along to distress CCFC and implant compliant owners. It was Wasps decision to load up on £54m debt and the Council sanctioned it, it's their risk entirely, not CCFC's.

Shown himself up to be a complete charlatan, wouldn’t want him anywhere near the club. He has led a concerted effort to harm our club, so fuck him.

Still refusing to confirm or deny if Wasps are involved but has admitted he has had talks with them in the CT, although they've done their best to bury it in the article.
Mr Hoffman did admit that he and his consortium had spoken to Wasps about a long-term deal to stay at the Ricoh Arena.

Oh dear, he can't comment as he doesn't comment on them to deny or confirm.

Strange, he confirmed dale Evans.

Was also in talks for a long term rent deal with wasps?

This bit is interesting

They (Sisu) could have kept their legal case if they'd have wanted and I am still confident we could have done a long-term deal with the owners of the stadium (to stay at the Ricoh).

I thought it was the legals stopping it?

I think he meant if they'd sold the club to him and his consorium they still could have pursued the legals.

I think he's referring back to when they bid not recent events.

Possibly but the point is when SISU arrived I was unsure of them. About two seasons in I really didn’t like them and would have been happy to see the back of them but it wasn’t at the front of my thought process. When they took us out the city when it was clear that it was within their gift to make sure we stayed at the Ricoh it became personal and they have to go and I’m still at that place. They’re unfit custodians of the club and I’ll never change my opinion on that.

If Hoffman’s consortium takes over and it was always within the gift of one of its members to ensure that CCFC remains at the Ricoh then they’ll be arriving at the point where I concluded that SISU have to go and therefore are unfit custodians of the club as SISU’s equal and being the stubborn football supporter I am I’ll never change my opinion on that. They’ll always be the owners that forced us out of Coventry. Same as SISU.

I’ll never change my opinion on that.

People who talk in these terms depress me. Life tip always be open minded. We live in a world of smoke and mirrors and spin.
