Hoffman being involved makes me nervous, his track record isn't great.

I get the point of him being a fan and wanting what is best for the club but there's lots of people on here who are fans who I'd want nowhere near a position of power, the two things aren't related.

I can only see it as a good thing Dave, and hopefully an indication of further positive developments.

What makes you think this is a good thing? Hoffman was part of the Ranson / SISU team, wanted to close down the clubs academy, was taken in by PHIV and Dale Evans, was connected to Wasps and was pushed out of the PL due to his involvement in the Newcastle takeover.

Not seeing a lot there that inspires me with confidence.

You may not like him ( I cant comment because I don’t know him, and have not met him).
But can only be a good thing, at least he is a fan.

1) he’s not even announced yet
2) if he’s on holiday, doubt he’ll be on every call etc…

think you need to look at sisu here with their last ditch effort to fuck up ashley plans with a silly last min attempt with DK trying to get the ground

Of course Hoffman knows full well what's going on.

So it's SISU's fault? Nice try.

Maybe just me but as a CCFC fan if I had a connection to the owner of the stadium and potentially a position on the board on the stadium management company I would be more concerned with this situation than a holiday.

You think this is because of that and isn't pre-planned?

Really shows Ashley's intentions for the club.

So if this court case stuff didn’t happen the contract we had with wasps that apparently isn’t binding would be? Mental.

They were last ditch efforts to buy the ground. Why shouldn't they have tried to do that? And how does that justify an almighty hissy fit like this given that he got what he wanted anyway. Strange take that.

I hate SISU as much as the next person but that's stretching things beyond credibility to blame them for Frasers issuing an eviction notice

I'm sorry, but a so called CCFC fan being involved in serving the club with an eviction order is just plain wrong. The man's a disgrace.

I don't disagree. The only thing I am going to ask is, is he actually there yet, or was it just reported?

But yeah, if this is his good news by Christmas...

he’s not even on the board yet.

the point still stands. Sisu admit in the statement they were in talks with ashley prior the court case. Why did they think it was a good idea at the 11th hour to bring DK into the equation and mention the ground? That annoyed ashley and his team. Sisu yet again making a bad situation alot worse

They do not admit that. And Ashley and his team are big boys. The club isn’t a punchbag for when you’re having a tantrum.

I'm not going to defend sisu.
But the notion the incoming chairman didn't know this was going to happen is nonsense.

If he didn't he should resign.

Non the less whatever anyone involved feelings.
An extremely silly gesture and statement via King afterwards.
It was never going to fly pointless and Sisu know the process very very well.
