So, if the American investor takes over tthe Higgs Trust share of the Ricoh and ACL what will happen? Today's article in the Sunday Times says Joe Elliott (Mr Coventry) will be the new Chairman for the investors.

I understand Joe Elliott and Gary Hoffman were both together in the Boardroom at Portsmouth yesterday, as guests of the Portsmouth Supporters Trust.
That probably means the quiet but committed Hoffman will be working in partnership with Joe Elliott and the investor behind the scenes. Hoffman rarely says anything and prefers to keep a low profile; but as away fans will know from talking to Joe and him at the games, they want the right solution for the fans, community, and the club.
Joe Elliott and Gary Hoffman sound like a perfect combination to guide the club and ACL through difficult times and onwards and upwards.
I for one am hopeful they are a winning combination.
What do you think?
<br />Despite the fact that the story is apprently bollocks, are you insane?<br />

It's almost like Joe Elliott has never had any connection with the last 15 years or so of crap that has led us to this mess.
Hadn't seen it!

Joe Elliot has done nothing more than try to help the club. The problem is with anyone trying to help this club is that you always get some ill informed bigot slamming down peoples efforts.
I'm as apprehensive as you lordy but i don't see another option, unless Mr. Robinson is another option heaven forbid. SISU are a busted flush and have to go and unless someone gallops in out of the shadows it will be uncle Joe with his ticking clock and colured jacketDespite the fact that the story is apprently bollocks, are you insane?

Getting helped by Joe Elliott is like being rescued from Fred West by the Yorkshire Ripper.
So we have a American businessman who wants to buy the club and invest in the squad. He has identified a management team and it all sounds great.
However, we start to critisise him straight away.
Walk away mate and enjoy your life.
<br />Elliot has proven in the past that he is prepared to jump on any bandwagon, he has remained a constant of many failed boards. I personally dont think he would offer anything of value on a board or as a chairman. All he was ever good for was reminding us that he had a loud ticking clock.

So should we just welcome anyone with open arms and just hope things work out for the best? A new owner doesn't mean a better owner. I'm sure people will say it couldn't be any worse but how many times have we said that as city fans only to find out it can get much worse.
I would hope that whatever happens in the clubs future that joe Elliot is nowhere to be seen or heard from- we have been let down enough by him and I would have as much faith in him as coco the clown.
The reason ................. ?

Yet, yesterday PWKH and the Administrator said that they'd met the guy but he wasn't in the position to proceed with any investment. So, who to believe?
The blokes loves Cov, nothing wrong with t hat, but chairman? Really? He was around with Richardson, Robinson, McGinnity and Hover and didn't do much to stop them messing everything up.
Obviously happy with the American guy if true, but not Elliot. There must be someone out there better qualified than him to run us.
Would hope that if anyone buys Coventry City, that they would appoint someone local as chairman. Criticism of Joe Elliott is a little unfair. OK he was around with the previous alleged crooked regime but only in the capacity of associate director.
As others have mentioned, Joe Elliot is one of us and just wants what is best for his club. Yes, he thought that was SISU at our time of desperation. But he is clearly not an astute businessman and like anybody else wasn't to know just how little SISU were actually interested in the club itself.
ONLY?????:facepalm:
