All I want to know is where people think we will be on April 27th. Unless there’s a big sisu climb down.

How do you know that? Care to name him and give the offer some partial credability?

Perhaps the head of the consortium would have more credibility if he concentrated his energy on one decent viable bid rather than spouting off to fans in the casino...

So council and wasps are trying (again) to distress the club so that it gets sold. The council hate sisu because sisu have stood up to them over the football club and the councils constant use of the club as a cash cow.
The council now want someone else in who they can use and manipulate for their own gains. If I were sisu I wouldn’t sell to them either.

And there in lies the problem, because I 100% agree with this but also 100% detest SISU for the way they have treated us fans as pawns in there quest to get a return for there investors ,( Northing to do with football ),and like many others cannot support either

The club publicised the sponsorship not long after he personally come forward and identified himself as a consortium member. Maybe it wasn’t in the monthly SISU news letter so you wasn’t aware of it. Doubt it ever has any CCFC news in it.

What I want is fucking irrelevant, just the same as what you want. Is the latest bid a publicity stunt or further evidence he can’t take a hint? The club isn’t for sale with the bids he’s offered. Five fucking times.

SISU haven’t even put the club up for sale. Will they accept a higher one? Fuck knows. People have to learn to accept that SISU will sell when they want to. Not when they’re pushed to.

Joy wants £20M so everyone who thinks she will just all of a sudden see a might be or can be offer of £7m in her in box and say yes that’s fine is deluded.
She wants that amount she is in charge of a company up to their arse in CCFC who are a point away as we speak from the play offs.
Let the episode run we aren’t homeless yet.

No answer? I'm not the one using an out of date script of things to reel off.

You have been given an answer about the accounts.

Will see who goes quiet come 3pm on Saturday.

That’s the guy. I’m surprised he had to put his hands in his pockets given how rich Joy apparently is you would have thought she’d have dipped into her handbag and brought a minibus for her “beloved sky blues”.

A bit ironic then that other people though to be associated with the bid wanted to close the Academy

Don’t know about that but I do recall Joe Elliott funding our youth teams years ago. I also know back when the Academys came into being there were doubts if it was the way forward or not.

Joy should tell Hoffman the magic number, then he can put up or shut up.

Its strange how the gaps in some peoples memory seem to align with them managing to 'not know about' anything that doesn't support their point of view.

The consortium are a bunch of clowns who I'd rather were nowhere near our club.
I remember the good old days of Mr Elliot badgering fans to give their shares to the utter cretins we have in charge now.
They can all fuck right off tbh.

I think there’s a danger in just wanting SISU out just for getting them out.

Personally, I’m not sure if I trust Hoffman exactly. Seems to have been tricked by that Dale Evans character, and the consortium’s offer of the Wilson sell-on money makes me question if they actually have money behind them.

My approach to this is stoic, if it happens, it happens. But ultimately, I’m a little bit indifferent in the sense that I have no control in what happens.

Ideally, a tycoon comes and tries to buy us, it happened in two football manager saves I had. If only!
