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.
Oh yeah here we go one of his mates:jerkit:
So why should he know any better this time around?
Just remind people, Hoffman and Elliott were part of the SISU regime...
That's true, both as I recall non-exec directors.
I also seem to recall that Hoffman resigned when he disagreed with SISU's change of policy.
So the point you were making was?
So after the so called take over what do you lot think is really going to happen JE and all his yes men mates that are with him at the away games will end up in positions in the club. Then when we have a bad spell of form on the pitch out will come the knives and in will come another manager upsetting what is already a good team not perfect but moving in the right direction started by these owners. Waggot has selected in my opinion two good managers and has things moving correctly lets not have this ruined or again we will be moaning and bleating again. It is pissing me off that all we seem to do is talk about everything other than the games.

Maybe he'll have learned from experience, maybe he won't know any better.
To me the point is that JE is a fan of the club, who having made a reasonable success of his business was in a position to support the club with his money (sponsorship of the youth team and on one occasion the first team) and his time.
He was given the courtesy title of associate director in the Richardson years, which seems to lead some posters here to believe that he was responsible for the poor decisions that were made at that time.
When I was a member of the Premier Club at Highfield Road, I saw JE most weeks greeting guests, showing people round etc etc. Personally in his position, I'd have been in my own box sipping a glass of vintage champagne - but he chose to give up his time, maybe to help the club, maybe to feel involved, who knows - but I think it is grossly unfair to question or deride his support.
That it's blind hypocrisy if someone supports these 2 people that were part of the SISU machine.
Hoffman resigned at CT4's loan to Liverpool, hardly a damning rejection of SISU monetary policy.
Gary Hoffman resigned because he disagreed with the owner's policy changes. It was not one individual event.That it's blind hypocrisy if someone supports these 2 people that were part of the SISU machine.

Joe Elliot a complete leach another ray ranson will put nothing in and take loads out will wait for the first oppotunity to sack the manager and ruin everything that is going on at the moment people like him get on my nerves if he was that interested open his wallet. Bloody Leach.
Despite the fact that the story is apprently bollocks, are you insane?
Joe Elliott and Hoffman to guide the club through difficult times and onwards and upwards?
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.
Doubt he will open his wallet. Apparently he now has to pay for his coach travel to away games after fans complained earlier this season that he had been travelling for free. Thought he had a big flashy house and a flashy car??
Like he "didn't open his wallet" when he sponsored the youth team, like he didn't open his wallet the year we couldn't get a sponsor for the first team, so he stepped in and did it.
Was that the type of not opening his wallet you had in mind?
And how many years ago did he last sponsor the youth team or the first team? By my calculations, 25 years ago?
Nobody is criticising his past sponsorships, for which he deserves a pat on the back.
But why cadge a free lift to away games? Supporters on the coaches complained because he has more money than them. Do you think he should have had a free seat to away games while other supporters were digging deep into their pockets?
JE is a decent chap and one thing for sure he is a City fan.
He would do his best for the goodness of the club.

i'm with you thereTOTALLY agree Italiahorse.
Joe, because he has gained success through 'blue collar' means has become the butt of many jokes, including mine, when he has stood for our club through thick and thin.
Unfortunately, the majority of city fans who go on GMK and a few on here think sacasm and irony are humourous when we all know they are the lowest form of wit.
JE has done more for our club, as a supporter, other than Kev Monks, and had put so much money himself into the club.
GOD BLESS JE
TOTALLY agree Italiahorse.

Yep and his big flashy house is on the route of the HS2. :claping hands:

From my recollection Hoffman and Elliott were on the Board for almost 4 of the 6 years under the current SISU reign, god help us if they get involved again. Joe has a big heart but his agenda is to be questioned, Gary struggles to add up.
JE has always seemed to be a nice guy when i have met him, certainly wants whats best for the club, i can not fault that....... but chairman? sorry not for me - but thats just a personal opinion and nothing against him
