Byng and his Chinese investors are still interested in buying the club but will not make a move until the legal issues involving the club and the council are dealt with.


So about 5 years time then probably.

Refitting the burger bars with takeaways?

 

[rupert_bear]

Could that mean changing our name to Hornby City, kit to perhaps yellow and perhaps Thomas the Tank engine becomes our sponsor ?

I'm still up for buying the Sky Blues - so says a Coventry businessman.
Michael Byng was first rumoured to be getting ready to bid for the club last summer.
He says any deal would be part of a bigger project to do up North West Coventry.
He says he and his Chinese backers want the off field arguments at City sorted first though.
He's told Touch FM's Nick Jewers he's serious about taking over.

 

[hill83]

Ha, thanks. Didn't really need it after all then!

I really wish these kind of people would f*ck off and/or not mention anything in public until something more concrete is happening.

All it does is cause a fuorore with fans who cling on to the dream of someone coming in, becoming our saviour and spunking a load of cash on us like a cheat code on Football Manager. 100% of these clowns coming out stating they want to buy the club, haven't come off since SISU have owned the club. At least Hoffman has took himself out of the public eye now.

These public releases don't help anyone. Fans get false hope and make judgements and opinions on something that has proved to never happen.

I'd be more than happy to be quoted on this post in the future and I'll claim it was a reverse jinx when Bill Gates fancies blowing his billions on Coventry City Football Club.

 

[Gint11]

I know nothing about Byng or these investors but right now I would LOVE them to buy the club in hope they would bring us home and put money into the club to make us good!

I bet you didn't expect that the very next post after yours would prove your point so beautifully!

Byng could list 'drowning puppies' and 'crapping on babies heads' as his hobbies and he'd still get a large chunk of our fans backing because he isn't SISU.

But hey, why continue getting stung by one frustratingly unwanted owner when you can have a second one continue the cycle?

 

[rupert_bear]

A buyer appears to be our only hope, which is why these stories are a pain in the ass and brings hope, usually false hope for our dying club and it is dying

I'm actually quitting Sky Blues Talk because I am now rich, due to putting my house on it happening.

Don't tell anyone though, I'm going to start 3 threads about how suicidal and fed up I am with Cov that I'm quitting the board, just so I can boost my 'likes' before my triumphant departure.

 

[duffer]

You'd think if Chinese investors were so worried about the legalities of the Ricoh issue they'd steer well clear of a man who has been chucked out of his professional institution.

Personal opinion: Byng hasn't got any significant backers, and this is some kind of a pipe dream or even worse a further muddying of the waters by SISU. He seems quite close to TF.

 

[chiefdave]

But what about those who defend SISU using the nobody else will ever buy us line? If everyone else kept quiet we'd all assume we had no other options as you can be sure SISU wouldn't be telling us what was going on.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring for this....

I'm a lifelong city fan, I'm a (reasonably) successful businessman, I know a banker based in HK & 2 city traders in London & Frankfurt...they've all agreed to bung in a tenner & a box of kippers...

So the bid will officially be made by an international consortium...and at £40, that's 4000% higher than Hoffmans paltry offer...


I'm just waiting for all annoying loose ends to be cleared up with regards CCFC....

so just as soon as the club own the Ricoh freehold & are back competing in the top flight, I'll be putting my bid in....

so let the wank-fest begin.....

Use the phrase "transfer war chest" and you've got my backing.

Has he learned how to send an email yet?

Although there are many reasons to be suspicious (shades of the Dhinsas in terms of why stop at one global multinational when you can have three?) tbf to him if he did want to buy the club, talking to the chief exec would undoubtedly be a start!

 

[Samo]

Aint Byng the guy who couldn't send an email on time?

 

[torchomatic]

"I'm still up for buying the Sky Blues". Is that what businessmen say? Anyway, good luck to him. I'm sure his faceless Chinese investors are much more trustworthy than our current faceless investors.

 

[torchomatic]

That's right. He'd forgotten his hotmail password and then couldn't work out the captcha thing:

[Kingokings204]

To be fair he sounds genuine and I don't see a point unless he is. Look at what he says its true. AEG sponsor man utd and are huge d if after a midlands base with great transport links etc then makes sense to me.

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

he sounded genuine to me and I don't blame the investors not wanting to get involved in the SISU/Council big kids row, best left to it.:slap:

 

[Sterling Archer]

"He sounds genuine to me." Seriously?

When will footy fans learn?

we can all do the lets take the piss attitude so we don't look stupid when it doesn't happen role, but some of us are too long in the tooth for all that cobblers. Any hope of investment and a fresh start is welcomed by me.

 

[ccfcway]

or some to trust people less on a quick soundbite

 

[NorthernWisdom]

What we need is more hedge funds...

 

[Kingokings204]

Was what Byng said wrong?

Didn't sound it wrong to me. Seemed to make logical possible sense.

I am genuine that I will buy the club!*

Sisu? Arvo? Otium? There are lots of investors there.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sisu? Arvo? Otium? There are lots of investors there.

Maybe his Chinese investors are the same as those putting money into SISU's biopharm venture over there.
