What are peoples thoughts on thishttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8249503/Investment-banker-Gary-Hoffman-named-Premier-Leagues-new-chairman.html
Know they've been struggling to find someone but they can't be that desperate?What are peoples thoughts on thishttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8249503/Investment-banker-Gary-Hoffman-named-Premier-Leagues-new-chairman.html
I'd say it would give the Trust more influence and more "in's" in the football world.Terrible appointment for the Premier League.... but at least it should stop him and his trust cronies from sniffing around us. Wonder if he's planning to get Dale Evans to sponsor the league?
My thoughts?
There's no doubt his career has been pretty impressive really. He seems to make the right decisions on where to go, and what to do.
Really, it doesn't tally with his involvement with CCFC. is that where being a fan clouds his judgement? Is it where a (not unreasonable!) desire to see SISU gone clouds his judgement?
That's it, isn't it. On face value, he's exactly who we'd all dream of having in charge!I never could equate this clearly successful businessman with his clownish acts regarding the football club and the idiots he surrounded himself with
Why's that then?Know they've been struggling to find someone but they can't be that desperate?
What clownish acts ?I never could equate this clearly successful businessman with his clownish acts regarding the football club and the idiots he surrounded himself with
Which one?What clownish acts ?

Never understand the very negative thoughts of Gary Hoffman particularly by some on here -What are peoples thoughts on thishttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8249503/Investment-banker-Gary-Hoffman-named-Premier-Leagues-new-chairman.html
Never understand the very negative thoughts of Gary Hoffman particularly by some on here -
-The guy has Cov city blood running through his veins
-He has been the only one it seems driving a deal to try and purchase the club -He has tried and failed a number of times to purchase the club for quite generous offers, considering we do not even have a ground
-He now has one of the top jobs in football - Maybe it seems after all he does know a thing or two about the game and how clubs should be run, as some powerful people in the English game obviously thinks so particularly, the people that have employed him
-His influence might just see Cov play out the rest of the season at some point, and fight the spoilers that want the finish wrapped up
Nothing personal but that’s absolute nonsense and you know it.
It seems there are two camps the Gary Hoffman like or dislike – you are obviously in the latter -Nothing personal either but none of it is nonsense, what part of the nonsence inot sure you are referring to? - In reference to a potential sale, never heard or seen other groups of potential investors clamouring at the door making offers accept consortiums continually led by him - Hoffman is totally switched on and certainly knows what he is doing when it comes to a whole array of business decisions including trying to buy a football club and importantly when to pull out – His heart and soul was completely focused on the future of our club, the financials secondary – He has now moved on and it doesn’t surprise a lot of people his new appointment as his CV reflects his outstanding abilityNothing personal but that’s absolute nonsense and you know it.
One of the reasons we don’t have a ground is because when Gary Hoffman was vice chairman he decided not to buy in to it.Never understand the very negative thoughts of Gary Hoffman particularly by some on here -

Come on you can't genuinely believe the nonsense you've just spouted. What deal has he ever had that appeared genuine or generous? Please enlighten us all.
The offer to purchase the club was a symbolic £51,987.35 - £50,000 as a financial incentive, £1,987 as a nod to the club’s FA Cup success and 35p to symbolise the number of miles from Coventry to Northampton.
The ones that Hoffman leaked to facebook saying "This is an offer that is too good to be true for SISU".
Maybe it's this bid.
I think me and you have genuinely been as close as him to buying the club.
I've always said that IMO he was never completely serious about purchasing the club and simply popped up during times of crisis to manipulate fans into thinking he's the club's knight in shining armour. The people he associates with, the timing of his supposed bids and his bizarre interviews in the local media all reek of duplicity. The only genuine bid IMO was from the Wasps consortium.
That's the thing, most prospective buyers of clubs have to sign NDA's even before bids are put on the table - SISU aren't fools and would almost certainly force Hoffman to do the same. So how is he leaking info on social media?
Exactly, he seemed to popup a lot while negotiations were taking place to stir things up.
Still, he managed to get people singing "there's only one Gary Hoffman" and getting angry while the club was trying to negotiate rent with Wasps the first time. That's what leaking things on Facebook does.

He’s always been on a vendetta against the club when relations soured. The dumb as fuck trust leaders sucking up to Haskell was the lowest of the low

I'm not sure he was leaking stuff on to social media but he was discussing what was going on with far too many people and they were putting stuff on social media.
That's why there was a very strong rumour that a takeover had happened around Christmas time a couple of years ago.
You would think after the first time he told somebody something and it was spread on Facebook he would have stopped if he didn't want it to happen?
It was purposely done, the same as the pictures of him meeting with Wasps at the Ricoh with Joe Elliott.
