Ah, yeah they can't be forced to and I doubt they would. That would be the idea behind it.
Doesn't matter actually I misread your post. You said: A few things people have said have made it stand out that the plan is for Hoffman (or somebody) to appear and say they can keep Coventry here if SISU hand the club over to them. Obviously they can't force SISU to hand the club over to them on that premise alone, I misinterpreted.
Wow you are actually ambivalent to franchising the club to Birmingham.
Not really. Would be quicker and easier to get to for a lot of Coventry anyway. I couldn't really care less about made up boundaries as long as it is close to Coventry and easily accessible. I don't have any particular affinity with a line that doesn't really exist. It's just outside Meriden which has a CV postcode. As you've pointed out, it's a completely unfounded rumour with no details so I'm hardly going to be up in arms about it.
It is going to be exactly as predicted.
I'm assuming 7m isn't a serious offer. Or was it that it didn't include Ryton (which made it slightly better)? Either way, the timing is unhelpful.

The timing is perfectly planned! Predictable to the point it was obvious it would happen, but planned.
NEC is B40 postcode.
It's absolutely going to make Wasps dig their heels in.
To be fair, I think 7m for the club without Ryton isn't horrendous (albeit probably still a little short of what's required), I just don't think they actually have any intention to buy, it's always timed perfectly from a PR point of view.

Wasps will be involved in it. The legal stuff is a front.
CCFC is being distressed to try and force it to be handed over to somebody else.
Of course, Hoffman doesn't have a great track record, he bought sisu here.
No, he didn't.No he didn't?
No, he didn't.
Plenty of reasons to consider Hoffman not to be the saviour, but that ain't one of them.
Errrm, Ranson?Yes, the much mentioned "SISU should of bought the ground when they had the chance" stuff, who was the Chairman at this point?
God you’re annoying
Hoffman’s bid doesn’t get us out of the fire.
No, it certainly clears a lot of things up I have been pointing out for months though.
It has been known all along, which is why the pressure from the trust has only been one way despite their nonsense.TBF though osb58 said way back when the bid was made that the pressure would be put on again at an appropriate time, I'm sure he did. It's no surprise they're seeking to use this 'opportunity'. Perhaps it'll work, who knows.
Me too - and me neither. Why would Sisu suddenly change their position and strategy now? I am only an innocent bystander (or CCFC fan if you will), so perhaps wiser old sages than me can explain.It has been known all along, which is why the pressure from the trust has only been one way despite their nonsense.
If it works then I'll be more indebted then most, I can't see it though
The trust aren't interested in pressuring all sides, it's nonsense to suggest it.Me too - and me neither. Why would Sisu suddenly change their position and strategy now? I am only an innocent bystander (or CCFC fan if you will), so perhaps wiser old sages than me can explain.
I think the peaceful protest on Sunday was a good idea - but it will be aimed at the owners now by the majority (which I understand), rather than focus purely on CCFC and the fans.
The trust aren't interested in pressuring all sides, it's nonsense to suggest it.
Let's face it, they have made themselves involved with distressing ccfc while trying to treat fellow fans as if they are thick.
Current legal bid ends, a window is there to sign a deal.There is no chance f a resolution as it stands.
That is a very small and opaque windowCurrent legal bid ends, a window is there to sign a deal.
As soon as deal signed... next legal bid starts!
It isn't that harsh. They clearly seem to think people are idiots. I've been pointing out for weeks what it looks like is going on.I think that's a bit strong, but the focus needed to be just on what is right for CCFC in the short/medium term i,e, rental agreement.. Ownership change can come later.
And yrs, all the behind the scenes stuff was obvious
I personally think that we may we'll be homeless )and then expulsion?). There is no chance f a resolution as it stands.
Well let's cling to the cunning plan.That is a very small and opaque window

Like you say, it's all about a deal for now to save the club so what's with their silence when it comes to wasps and ccc and their NDA meetings with them?
They are complicit in it all now, obviously nowhere near to the level of the main players but they have again been dragged on as a free pr machine on a promise.
They have no interest in speaking out against other parties to try and get a deal. Their aim is the club being handed over to hoffman, as it was about Haskell when he promised them the earth.
Only they thought they had that anyway. Especially when their most vocal person works at the councilYep - instantly loses the "independent voice of the fans" tag.
Is that a bad thing??Wasps will be involved in it. The legal stuff is a front.
CCFC is being distressed to try and force it to be handed over to somebody else.
It is if it doesn't get handed over and gets liquidated instead.Is that a bad thing??
