Just copying and pasting something from a football rumours site.

06 Feb 2012 13:54:31
Coventry City are to announce new owners with a bid being accepted that will hand full control of the club to a consortium lead by sky blue fan Hoffman, not only will Mr Hoffman acquire the club he will also buy the Ricoh Arena. First changes by the new owners is to replace Andy Thorn as manager and hire Dave Jones in a last throw of the dice to stave off relegation to league one

Unlikely but I like the sound of it!

^^^^^^^ what he says

BackRoomRummermill · Feb 6, 2012

Stuff of Dreams if it was true on all levels. The Dave Jones thing is as good as anything.

Cant see it though I hope I am wrong we have so many false dawns we are now numb to anything as a whole.

Paxman II · Feb 6, 2012

You must admit that sounds very unlikely. Nice if it were true Otis. have not thought of Jones before and whatever the rumour the fact is he would be a very good shout right now..

Well he would have to be more succesful as a manager than a player for us -- one of the worst big signings we ever made. Still remember an own goal he scored which had to be the best of all time -- against Stoke I think.

Otis · Feb 6, 2012

Sounds to me like someone may have concocted a tale from two seperate bits of gossip.

Funnily enough, someone on here suggested Dave Jones yesterday.

I am waiting for the first complaint that Thorn is a better manager than Jones.....

Nick · Feb 6, 2012

If only that was going to happen. imp: It did give a nice thought for the day though, it is like a "what would I buy first if I won the lottery" type day dream!

oldskyblue58 · Feb 6, 2012

I hate being a killjoy but info I have is that no discussions have happened involving all the stake holders in ACL and as they own the long lease on the site you might expect there should have been - buying the freehold doesnt get rid of ACL as a tenant. Plus GH is buying nothing and only representing his money men - apart from that it could well be true :facepalm:

just another rumour. Sorry Otis - and i promise i have left my gun at home - think your post 8 is on the money

SKYBLUESDUNK · Feb 6, 2012

It's from football rumours right? Yeah don't believe anything that site says... full of rubbish... But yeah I agree that would be a very nice thing to happen and much needed!

Lord_Nampil · Feb 6, 2012

Dave Jones was at the boro match, he stood behind me near the cash point in the atrium between the hall and ground!!!

SkyBlue · Feb 6, 2012

If only this was true

Gray · Feb 6, 2012

thats what i heard to but with Jason Cadden coming in as his assistant!

musicmanskyblue · Feb 6, 2012

As lovely as the thought is... i can't believe that news of a takeover conclusion and a manager change has all been leaked in one go..

Astute · Feb 6, 2012

Just bullsh1t. Hoffman is not buying our club so will never own it. He is trying to get investors to buy the club. Must have said this close to a hundred times now.

Just because you want something it don't mean it will happen or will be what is best.

musicmanskyblue · Feb 6, 2012

Ha! 152 users browsing this thread already.. shows how badly we want this to happen...

No, more like a dream that plays out like this......

As a welcoming celebration for all Sky Blues supporters, topless Hooters girls will be giving out a case of beer to each supporter for the next home game at the ricoh and Karen Gillan has agreed to give blowjobs to the first 1,000 City supporters through the turnsiles on the day.

The CableGuy · Feb 6, 2012

Jones had millions to spend at Cardiff, and his players bottled it in big games.

He would get 2p here and would have players who bottle it in injury time.

No, but you can tickle his nuts with a wire brush.

Tickle them?

Gotta fucking find them first...

Otis · Feb 6, 2012

For the last time, the they called me No Nuts because I was allergic to them!!

usskyblue · Feb 6, 2012

Did the kids at school force you to play Russian roulette with a bag of Revels?

Otis · Feb 6, 2012

No, they used a gun. A bag Revels can't really do you much damage.

usskyblue · Feb 6, 2012

Glad we cleared that up...

WillieStanley · Feb 6, 2012

I thought Jones had a bit of q grudge agaist us after the way he left as a player?

Nah mate, Caddsy will only be ever be a no.2 to Morten, and that's 'cos he's his mate...it's Jones as his Assistant!

PVA · Feb 6, 2012

Jones is a terrible manager.

Would much rather Mark Robins or Sean O'Driscoll.

Dean Allsop · Feb 6, 2012

Have heard the same rumour as the first post, but Dave Jones had not been mentioned in fact no new manager name/s have been mentioned.....

Nonleagueherewecome · Feb 6, 2012

OP comes from that website..y'know, the one that has a motto of "100% Wrong Everytime, Guaranteed or Your Money Back!"

torchomatic · Feb 6, 2012

Or in fact, no rumour either. In fact, there was complete and utter silence. A bit like outer space or the stand where our "directors, sponsors and friends from the media" sit.
