Maybe Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore will be looking for a new club to make money from after selling QPR. Does Hoffman know them? Sale has just about gone through so meeting brought forward?
Wouldn't have thought so though
Maybe Old Sky Blue is John Sillett!! :thinking about:
One thing I would say about any takeover is not to allow yourselves to be taken in by any new owner promising cash and promotion. It doesn't work quite like that. Is there not an organised supporters group which can stake a claim in the club? Swansea City fans have a 22% (I think) stake in their football club and Exeter City are entirely owned by their fans. Both clubs have enjoyed great success relative to their stature in recent years, so the evidence is that the fan ownership model works. I would certainly prefer to have such a model in place at Leicester, rather than the current ownership which will almost certainly (in my opinion, of course) see us back in financial strife, if not administration, in years to come.

Doesnt seem very active or even up to date. Would have thought the current situation was perfect to expand its activities
given that people such as JE seem to be suggesting protests are doing more harm than good it would be a great idea for the trust to get together a group of 4 or 5 people who are good with business / finance and request meetings with someone from the board / SISU who can give straight answers and also possibly meet with the Hoff to see if any details of his intentions can be found out.
for all we know at the moment the protests could work and force SISU out and the Hoff bid might not materialise. would be good if someone, and the trust would seem the ideal people, could get some dialogue going with both parties.
OLD SKY BLUE , imay be being a bit simplistic here, but if we are generating £9,000,000. then losing £6,000,000. this business is costing £15,000,000. a year to run .So is there any way through subtrofuge that sisu could pass on the costs of the £30,000,000. debt ,as it just seems ludicrous to loose so much on that turnover?
