Euro lottery winners please step forward please ................

sw88 · Dec 7, 2011

Couldnt care less whether the price is right or not! Anything to get rid of these fraudsters

Otis · Dec 7, 2011

Bring it on!!

Sub · Dec 7, 2011

just be a nice christmas present for all the fans if SISU sold up and let the hoff do his stuff and sort the club out properly and hopefully get us back on the right track

Otis · Dec 7, 2011

A nice Christmas present? The best Christmas present ever!!

Sub · Dec 7, 2011

best one would being able to stay in the division !!

Ccfc1979 · Dec 7, 2011

And this Tim Fisher becomes managing director based full time at the club. John Clarke bids to be the new Mr Coventry. Surely that means they'll be gone v soon. No chairman appt seems odd though? You'd think the club and Telegraph were in cahoots to sell the saviours of CCFC idea to the fans. Crazy talk.

OyJimmy · Dec 7, 2011

Strikes me that Sisu have sold any quality we had we the intention of selling up. The pound Hoffman offered originally is now a realistic bid

ashbyjan · Dec 7, 2011

Interestingly and worryingly Clarke doesn't talk about selling but about investing. Does this mean SISU don't want to sell up just find someone else to fund their losses. Cannot see Hoffman going for this and working alongside these people - he wants control of the club for his group not just to help keep us on life support for a few more months. Also Hoffman has the biggest most important period in his day job coming in the next couple of weeks with Lloyds announcing if they are selling him the bank branches in a multi billion pound deal. Hope he can spend an afternoon talking to these muppets but the timing for him could be an issue.

sw88 · Dec 7, 2011

I got the impression from Dollally's interview they are keen for people to join the sinking ship as apposed to taking it over.

OyJimmy · Dec 7, 2011

Sisu are clearly hoping that by balancing the books they will make the club appealing to a prospective buyer. But what kind of investor will we get if we will struggle to balance the books in league 1? The debt needs to be written off and we need to buy the stadium. Until that happens we will always struggle. Rich investors needed. Hoffman may not be rich enough.

Otis · Dec 7, 2011

It's not Hoffman though is it. He is only fronting the bid.

Thought we'd done all this. :thinking about:

Coventry City board open to Gary Hoffman approach

Tim Fisher interim MD

Is this yet more 'the balls in their court' ?

How do you know we still have a table? I reckon your an insider that works for CCFC or SISU.

To know what is on the table can only mean there is one. I work inside but not for either of these!

He says they're open in the same way they apparently always have been. In essence, no new information or revelation, just a reiteration.

tisza · Dec 7, 2011

Is this like when they took on Brody?
Is this like when they told everyone at the start that they had to have all the shares because it was part of their investment rules of governance?
As a follow-on from the Dulieu interview Clarke just makes himself look ridiculous if he believes anyone is going to work with SISU.

SkyBlueMania · Dec 7, 2011

It still worries me how they talk about 'investment' rather than selling. We all know from experience how stubborn and ruthless these a-holes are, I reckon they'll hold out for investment to try and recoup some of their losses, I don't think they will sell on losing all of their investment.

They won't talk about selling as it compromises their negotiating position.

smileycov · Dec 7, 2011

We talk of boycotting the cup match and protesting outside.........the takeover stories appear and they make out it is happening again.
Coincidence

ICHAN · Dec 7, 2011

Just a response to the telegraph piece yesterday really, that they willl talk to anyone but they need to have proof of funds but still looking for investers.
Bit of nothingness.

ICHAN · Dec 7, 2011

To be fair smily the telegraph asked about wanting the club taken over not sisu

procdoc · Dec 7, 2011

SISU have a got a fucking cheek wanting proof of funds when they won't even tell us who owns the fucking club

True but as business people they'd be very silly not to ask.

Exactly. When I present 5 buckets full of cash from the collection they can see real money instead of a load of words written on paper.

We'll_live_and_die · Dec 7, 2011

Tezza will you be at the ground on Saturday collecting the cash?

La_Lucha said:

That is my intention, but, I don't want to do be the only one. I feel that for the collection to be effective we need more than one bucket and a presence around the ground.

PM me if you're interested in holding a bucket.

I believe that a subsistence allowance of £5 can be taken from the donations collected by the bucket holder.

We'll_live_and_die · Dec 7, 2011

Who will be the trustee of the cash? How much do we need to raise to buy the club? What happens to the cash if our bid is rejected?
