Okay interesting that he said it and that it's not from one of the usual playerts in all ths but still not a true independent assesment. Would still like to see the audited accounts and then have them interpreted (for those of us who have difficulty understanding them) by someone like OSB58.

The one thing niggling me is that he has admitted to speaking to one of them. Was it one of them that helped bring Wasps to the Ricoh?
My money would be on Hoffman if it is the case.

I think I've always made my views on the unholy trinity clear
tbh though I'd struggle to believe Elliott or Hoffman would have anything to do with Wasps coming into the city. OK, their watches may not have been glorious in the slightest(!) but they're Coventry fans and they surely have seen the trauma of moving CCFC away.Also, being from Coventry, they'd know there was a rugby team in need of support.
I just can't see either of them being involved in this... and hope I'm right, as I'd rather restrict my barracking to pointing out the failures of the football club during their times involved, rather than have to add anything extra!

So which one do you think he spoke to and why?
Do you think it could be to back SISU into a corner to try and get them to sell up?

Of the choices he was offered... I fear Hoffman. Ranson would be the logical one though, as he likes investing in sport for investment first.
tbh giving the answer he did was a little unfair really, as it offers the chance for needless speculation!

Hoffman/Elliott both persona non grata to SISU so unlikely to be them, Ranson I think left on more favourable terms and of course headed their acquisition of CCFC. Most likely to be him as he is into sports investment generally.
Can't be sure but just checked the Twitter feed ,nothing there ,but pretty sure he ruled out Ranson.

He also categorically denied interest in taking over CCFC, makes you wonder why they'd need Elliot/Hoffman.
Memory a little vague ,It could have been Haskel ,maybe robbo Cj or others remember.

Do you think it was a bit like intheknow? As in answering but not answering and letting people guess.
The CET Ruled out Ranson didn't they?

Aside from Les Reids Twitter account was Ransons alleged involvement ever reported anywhere else? I dont recall it being suggested anywhere else. Perhaps someone should add it to the rumour thread

The Observer put a question to the council about Ray Ransons involvement.

Question- Is the council aware if former chairmen or directors such as Ray Ranson or Bryan Richardson have been involvded in any way with the wasps consortium or the project generally.
Council Response- No.
Doesn't mean they weren't involved. just that the council wasn't aware of it.

I think something is going on. Little bits are slipping out. SISU have gone quiet. It looks like they either can't afford to take our club forward or have lost as much as they are willing to. All sides agreed to the arena sale too easily. Didn't someone from CCC say it would be good for our club or something similar? Ongoing talks going well. And someone that has had something to do with our club in the past has spoken to who has the rights to the Ricoh.
I will throw in John Poynton to set off a ripple
Ex City Chairman, Jersey Rugby Club etc etc

Has counted himself out.
Companies in the UK have to produce, save in limited circumstances, audited accounts which are then filed at Companies House and therefore available for all to see.

If Les Reid reported an involvement by Ranson then that rules Ranson out!
