Yeah I noticed that too, I hope it was deliberate.

Seen something on TV with him some time ago and seem to remember him saying it was Stoke or one of the Stokes. He was talking about his love of trains and how it started as a young lad watching trains go by from his bedroom as his house backed onto the railway.

Yeah that sounds right, I'm almost certain it was only round the corner from me as I grew up on Lowther St which also back on to what was by then just a grassy embankment.

Jeez have we got to endure another year of this bickering back and forth between Nick and a selected few then. Got to say it seems to ruin pretty much every thread now.

Fair comment Corrado
I will refrain from engaging Nick in a debate from now on.
I will make my point once or twice. I will no longer dance around the various different ways that, that point then gets changed to.
It’s boring as hell seeing 10 pages of two people debating the same thing as oppose to agreeing not to agree and leaving it at that.

The statement below has been issued by Sisu Capital, owners of Coventry City Football Club, this afternoon:

SISU Capital can confirm that it has had neither written nor verbal communication from Mr. Evans; hence, he has not made an offer to purchase Coventry City FC.

We would expect any potential purchaser to follow a professional and confidential process. Misleading public statements are a distraction to both the Club and fans.

The above sounds like an invite to bid.

Ah, a little further away than I thought. I had Burlington Road in my head but thinking back that was where Steve Livingstone lived when we'd knock on the door and pester him to sign football stickers.

Why would the chap from Stratford be a crony of Hoffman's? Crony is a disparaging term. I can understand why some people would have a go at Hoffman due to his previous connections, although I wouldn't agree with them. The guy from Stratford is sponsoring the academy, (surely a good thing) and has season tickets along with his sons. Why would he now be given an abusive term?
Sisu in my eyes and in the eyes of most City fans are the worst owners we have had or are likely to have. Hoffman, a genuine supporter, seen at home and away games wants to take over the club. The sooner the better as far as I am concerned. At least he and his cronies will have the best interests of our club at heart.
Click to expand...

No offence meant by the term crony as far as I'm concerned. I'm merely referring to his 'circle', his connections, call it what you will.
Although the last two attempts at a deal by Hoffman and his 'cronies' resulted in an amateurish proposal from what I read to understand, be it the back of a fag packet to an absurd convoluted 'pay you later' deal at the second attempted of an offer and quickly rebuked by SISU as derisory? So yes I would questions the qualifications of some of these people to be fair.

That's not to say we don't already have a bunch of clowns at the helm already. (and I don't mean funny)
I agree with you, better someone with passion for the club to take the helm and if Hoffman is involved in any way I would certainly support it.

A sudden line of ‘the path that expect a potential buyer to follow’

Think you need to ask the guy who confirmed he forwarded it that one?
Good point though Mark said he received an email that he forwarded on. The above says there has been no communication full stop. (Unless it’s just badly worded)

Well that does say 'Sisu Capital.' Could be a question of pedantics. Hornby forwarded it, Fisher's got it, it hasn't got as far as Sisu.

I agree Otis. I think SISU are playing a game of semantics. Has CCFC received a bid, has otium received a bid, has SISU received a bid? Has Joy seen a bid that hasn't formally gone to SISU. Sadly cloak and mirrors.
I think we all need to calm our expectations for now and this includes Dale especially having read his last post which alludes to family issues too.

What's his last post say?

I haven't been involved at all, but why would anyone contact his wife and family anyway? I just don't get that at all. Is that what you are alluding to, the abuse his family have been getting?

Is this a serious conversation? Perhaps now Dale has been spurned by sisu he can e mail Wasps and say he’s made a bid for them as well. Why stop there - get him to e mail JLR.

It probably ended up where it deserved to in Spam.

I thought a fee had been agreed and he was moving in at Christmas.

A message from Dale:
Does this statement phase me from sisu?
No!
I know what I'm doing
I know what we're doing
If you don't like my approach, will it matter in the end?
No!
This is our club and I'm personally doing this for the fans!
So all of you that don't like the way I've done things to get it all moving in the correct way - do I care?
Of course I do, the people I'm with know exactly what they are doing and will guide me all the way.
Does it phase me?
Not in the slightest
Will we fail this time round?
A J has more chance of losing tomorrow than we do in getting our club back.

But let me get this clear right now, my family is the most important thing in the world to me.
I'm at risk of losing my wife, my son, my brothers backing, my mum and her partners trust, giving back to my dad what he gave me, who i hadn't managed to see in a year, the rest of my family who are my world who I hold close to my heart, those closet to me that have supported me through thick and thin - especially my wife, over a club that all I want to do is save from the brink.

I've put this ahead of what i should have been concentrating my main priorities on to do something all Coventry fans would do if they had the chance.
And where has it got me?

I tell you where, depressed, miserable, upset with myself over how I'm letting my family and friends down, and utterly devastated to how I've been dragged through the mud by certain fans.
Those who have backed me since day one, and you all know whom you are I'm forever grateful but this is really becoming too much with all the lies, deceptive comments and mistrust I've gotten from yes some admittedly some myself but most of which is completely unjustifiable. Utterly had enough tonight.

Big difference between "Moving in at Christmas and..............
Evans: "We hope deal will be done by Christmas"
When asked about his perceived timescales for any takeover, Dale Evans responded with an optimistic prediction.

He said: “We hope to have it wrapped up by December”
Both sentances have one word in common..."HOPE"

I emailed Tom Hanks to say I thoroughly enjoyed Bridge of Spies. He didn't reply but I am now claiming on social media that we are now best buds.
