Richard Keys just stated on the radio that a very good bid is still on the table and called for SISU to have a look at it

Interesting...

fanta80 · Sep 28, 2011

Whats this one for ...£2?

coundonskyblue · Sep 28, 2011

Have they revealed their idendities?

Sub · Sep 28, 2011

orange ken will be on the radio in a minute to do that !!!:jerkit::jerkit:

skybluesben · Sep 28, 2011

according to a mate who was talkin to gary hoffmans brother, the people hoffman where with are trying again to take over! Take the money and do one sisu!!! :blue:

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Sep 28, 2011

I just want all this to end now.

oldskyblue58 · Sep 28, 2011

If the bid is still on the table then why did Hoffman & co say they withdrew it ? and why is it SISU need to look at it again if they have already rejected it

I dont want this done through the media - do the deal or dont. If Keys isnt part of the bid - shut up! In fact even if part of the bid - shut up just get it done or walk away

Sisu never formally rejected the last offer, it was withdrawn. Both sides were guilty of using the media before, perhaps they've realised this & decided to let it die down for a while before acting like adults.

Hopefully the falling gates will test the Sisu resolve !!!!

skyblueinBaku · Sep 28, 2011

Is there any way that negotiations (if any) can be done directly with SISU and avoid Ken Dildo? That way, there is a fighting chance of confidentiality agreements being honoured.

Otis · Sep 28, 2011

This sounds to me like it is still exactly the same bid as before.

ashbyjan · Sep 28, 2011

Falling gates?? Surely Health and Safety should investigate and ban them before someone gets trapped under a falling gate and them burned to a cinder by an inflammable flag.

skybluesben · Sep 28, 2011

i wonder if i come bring a bottle of petrol into the ricoh as long as i give then my bottle cap since only banners with SISU OUT on can catch fire..... :blue:

Sub · Sep 28, 2011

If we do get taken over do people think the gates will increase, if there is investment in the team ? or has it gone to far for to many fans:thinking about::thinking about::thinking about:

oldskyblue58 · Sep 28, 2011

The only reasonably sure way to increase gates is success on the pitch.............. precious little of that since 1987!

Sub · Sep 28, 2011

there are lots of people i know who are skyblue fans but refuse to pay anymore money into the club whilst SISU are there! they go to more away games than home which hurts the club they love. they see it as the only way of forcing SISU out. Its a sad situation we are now in its like cutting your nose off to spite your face. I just hope that if we do get taken over the missing fans come back !!

oldskyblue58 · Sep 28, 2011

question ..........

Had the team achieved the extra 8 points AT thinks we could have and the team winning regularly would the crowds have been significantly down? The owners would be the same the financial problems not greatly different, would we have picked up returning/new fans simply by being successful no matter who the owners were?

Yes I appreciate that might mean owners spending money but what if it didnt and we were successful would crowds return even under SISU?

ok thats 3 questions

Sub · Sep 28, 2011

i would think some fans would return but not to the same levels unless we were flying top 6 !! the problem i think is miss trust and that will never go away, has it gone to far between the fans and owners ? in my opinion yes. SISU constantly shoot themselves in the foot, now we have political people looking into the running of our club which makes off pitch issues even worse !! is there a right or wrong answer ? i do not know but telliing the truth might be a good start and not having all the spin doctors on the board would help

sky blue john · Sep 28, 2011

Im sure Sisu's tactics of having fans who do turn up to the games frisked and treated like criminals is really going to encourage more fans to come back !!!!

guicey15 · Sep 28, 2011

What time on the show did you hear it? (presuming he said it on talk sport) I know the show is on 10-1 so just want to no because im on the talksport website and want to hear it. Thanks

Bennets Afro · Sep 28, 2011

I posted just after so just before 11

Tonylinc · Sep 28, 2011

I just want MY club to be owned and run by people that CARE. I could not care less if they have money or not, at least we might get some honesty!

Experienced this for the first time last night, the funny thing is I had a lit cigarette in my hand which I accidentally walked in with. I'm fairly certain you could have walked in with 2 tons of semtex as long as it didn't have SISU OUT written on it.

Paxman II · Sep 29, 2011

Yes the fans fickle as the majority are will return in their droves regardless of ownership IF we were suddenly far more successful on the pitch!
All this hate for certain owners is ludicrous. If we were doing well (say those extra 8 points so far) then the owners would no doubt not be seen as a problem would they? There would then be post on here saying how right SISU are to be cautious etc etc.

It's the nature of people I'm afraid.

Just enjoy the football. At least we are more entertaining under Thorn and I think we will end up having a half decent season at worst. Long way to go yet folks!

Otis · Sep 29, 2011

Long way to go yet folks!

Yep. That's what I am worried about.

georgehudson · Sep 30, 2011

if there is, bring it on,
i am perfectly willing to accept a period of silence from potential new owners, whilst negotiations continue,
nevertheless worried that sisu would scupper it to suit their own dubious means of operation,
if a takeover succeeded i think it should be declared a pubic holiday in COVENTRY, lots of celebrations etc.,
my plea would be that sisu leave quietly, & accept that they have 'blown it' from day 1, i'm sure the british legal system will prevail,

les_miserables · Sep 30, 2011

We , thats our football club will be sold eventually and probably to the Hoffman group just a question of when and what state the club is in player wise when it is. SISU are wobbling make no mistake, income is through the floor, they can only earn money from attendances little else. So any finance burden we give them helps for example the constant threat of mass demos means the old Bill are needed, they cost a fortune and would come directly out of the SISU pot. Nothing is being spent on the team and more departures likely in January so whatever we do is not hurting the team just the SISU pocket

skyblue_rich · Sep 30, 2011

A mate spoke to Joe and Elliot and David shorthand (associate director) at the blackpool game. They both said that Hoffman will put in a new bid after his bank has bought some of lloyds tsb for 500million. Also they said that sisu were pissed off with the valuation of £1. Since they think the club is worth 8million is assets. Finally they said that if sisu are in charge in january expect clingan, lukas, Keogh, cranie, and the 3 kids to be sold.

Reminds me of the Glory Days of the Seventies and Eighties where a certain mentality in Cov saw Car Plant workers buying and driving Datsuns... mmm, look how that worked out. Missing Fans? Fair weather fans more like, a full house for Chelsea for the Cup and 15K in December in 5th place tells you all you need about "Missing Fans". I'd rather do without ta.

Tonylinc · Sep 30, 2011

£8 mill!!! Where the hell do they get that from?

Well that's what he said, probably if lukas is valued at 3 mil, and clingan and cranie at 1mil- we won't get half as much as they expect

Who shitsu? what a pathetic bunch they are.

TommyAtkins · Oct 2, 2011

The missing fans won't come back until we reach the Premiership. Which, of course, will never happen. Too many fans have too many excuses lined up.

Note when we drew Chelsea in the FA Cup, the stadium was full. Why?

To see Coventry? Nope

Too many alleged Coventry fans only want to see Coventry play Premiership sides.
