Yeah, we need more. The Coventry Four sounds like they are going to be stitched up and put behind bars for 12 years for something they didn't do.

We need a Magnificent Seven.

No.
It's CCFC and Otium that are essentially the same.

I didn't say he was employed by Sepalla. He worked for her i.e. on her behalf as the club's owner.

When suits? So like Hoffman didn't work for sisu? Because that would suit a lot of people. Next we'll be told he didn't know what sisu were all about.

Yep. Exactly my thinking too. Hoffman came up short with his offer and maybe, just maybe this Dale Evans money (if indeed he has actually got the money) takes him over the line.

We can only pray this is true, however that brings about the question; what has happened to the other 4 if were including Dale, JE, Hoff and 1 other?

I do believe they are a hedge fund.

Hope that helps.

No, I was just going to bed last night when I spotted a Facebook PM, it was from a guy
I’ve known a long time ‘huge City fan & from Coventry, we aren’t best mates just pals
But as I’ve said I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Anyway, apparently he is working in some capacity for Dale Evans and was present
During talks late last night, the conclusion of which was apparently an agreement between
SISU and he for the club.
Would I stake my life on it ‘no’ but as I say I don’t think this guy would be telling porkies either.

If this is true then yes he would be a partner with the other 3 in the bid. He doesn't seem to have any history of being a businessman. I suspect the others would have this? If it's with Hoffman then maybe Dale has given some extra funds to push a deal through.

Listened to Coventry and Warwickshire for the last two news bulletins. No mention of this. Is that; no news is good news or that Dale is just having us on?

More like when suits because SISU aren't the club, or when suits because on another day Tim is just a stooge it's all SISU's running the club, or when suits because on another day if we finish in the top 6 SISU would have got us the best finish in decades, or when suits on another day SISU have got us a premier league manager etc. etc. all statements from posters who insist that SISU aren't the club.

So when the people who regularly insist that SISU aren't the club seem as confused as anyone who disagree's with them as to whether SISU are the club or not so yes, when suits.

Can you link to them? It would be interesting to see how many of them were actually serious and how many were tongue in cheek / sarcasm.

Nick pretending he's never seen or made such comments and if there were they clearly were tongue in cheek. Predictable.

No links then?

There have been plenty of sarcastic comments like you have mentioned but I can't remember too many saying things like sisu need credit for a good manager or things like that and actually being serious.

If it's so common, you will be able to link to them easily (including mine).

So we presume its Dale, Hoff, that fella from Leamington who sold his business and who else? JE bless him and his shredded wheat barnet and David Dickenson tan hasnt the means to really chip in. He will be the public relations face no doubt tho.
Allsop maybe?

thanks for the info. All sounds dodgy to me but I know you've passed it on in good faith, hopefully there is something to it though this Dale bloke sounds like a bit of a chancer to me.

As for the rumour, I'm was 100% convinced that this is total rubbish. The only thing that has slightly changed my mind is if his family is getting targeted on social media and he's still communicating. If it is a wind up, he's played a blinder.

Fingers crossed but until I see a Sky Sports - Breaking News ticker tape confirming it, I'm not gonna get worked up about it. Too many questions to sound plausible.

When I heard him on the radio on Friday he just sounded so implausible,"Can someone gives me Gary Hoffman's number?" But he has kept going despite getting dogs abuse apparently. The fact that he would be willing to subject himself and his family to even worse if this all turns out to be a wind up is what is now making me hope that somehow this is genuine.
I can imagine the feeling when I know that Sisu have gone and that we have got our club back. The thing is I don't want to just imagine it, I want it to be real. To have people running the club who really care would be just so fantastic.
I just want this to be true.

In full agreement with you, no-one would put their family through this over a wind up.

Even if it turns out this bloke is actually Billy Bullshit from the bollocks factory, anyone who's even considered any kind of contact with his family is a million times worse.

I don't see how you could win that much without anyone knowing. The company you won it from would want you doing promo and surely it would make the news. Looking online it would be by far Bet365 (who it is now claimed it was with) biggest payout. I can't even find anything to suggest you can stake $1m as he has claimed.

Dale Evans has claimed a fee has been agreed.

He claimed that on CWR on Friday, he said SISU had given a figure and he had more than matched it - not sure why you'd give them more than the asking price. Then it turned out he hadn't even met with them and all that had happened was one email being forwarded on.

He claims he won on one hand with a stake of $1m yet its now claimed he's not a businessman. Where did that stake come from then?

To date there is zero evidence of his claimed wealth and zero evidence that any of his claims regarding meetings with Fisher, ACL, CRFC or anyone else are true.

Would love it to be happening but there's too much that doesn't add up at the moment.
