The more time that passes the more money its claimed he wrote off, £20m now. Why is he never asked how much he made out of CCFC player sales, loan interest etc?

It always was quote as 20 million

I'm not Geoffrey Robinsons greatest fan but did bank roll the club to the tune of a few milliondoubt he made a lot of money if any trouble was he backed a looser with Bryan Richardson,

Kingokings204 · Oct 7, 2016

What's with a different person each day giving his opinion. For the last 17 days since the online petition we have had Richard keys, 3 mps including today. Many legends past players and managers. Lots of pundits and the sacking of mowbray.

Never dull is it? Although makes you think what's the CT agenda I hope it's as simple as wanting our club back.

rupert_bear · Oct 7, 2016

The anti has definitely been upped, something in the wind ? I suspect there could be, yet nothing at all from those who count, sisu, apart from a convenient phone call from Fisher (or was it ?) to a texter on here.

Kingokings204 · Oct 7, 2016

Yes definitely been upped and we just need sisu to put the club up for sale and that seems to be the first action needed to attract and gain that interest. Doesn't seem there are buyers ready more just there could be.

Yes but he could have made another 20M if he had called it in.

sw88 · Oct 7, 2016

Where were his views about the council and the relationships with the club?

Seems like some are only coming out the woodwork now that SISU are again the bad guy in the public eye

Never liked the bloke; doubt I ever will

A mate of mine's sister who used to date a guy who sold some Peri peri wings to Eddie Jordan in Nandos last night, told me Jordan sent him this picture he took of Hoffman explaining his latest takeover plan to Keys, Elliot and Robinson.

The man was so dodgy, he even managed to get suspended from the House of Commons.......and bearing in mind how many dodgy cunts reside in the place, that certainly takes some doing!

Dodgy c**t.

Warwickhunt · Oct 7, 2016

strikes me that something is stirring the bottom of the cess pit for Robinson to surface and start to wallow in his misfortune!!!! and get the pointy fingers out again after so long of keeping stchum.

robbiekeane · Oct 7, 2016

yeh, what's stirring is the CT still playing their part, doing their best to stir up the anti-SISU publicity to aid the secret takeover attempt

but as someone has quite rightly said, nothing from anyone who actually means anything yet. so unfortunately best not to get your hopes up

It was claimed to be £20m on SISU takeover, so not as time passes.

Nothing stopping SISU inviting the CT to do an interview to address this stirring and win us all over.

We balanced the books with Richardson as chairman... until Robinson got involved with cold, hard cash.

Irish Sky Blue · Oct 7, 2016

I don't know what he is like as a person but it seems clear he put a fortune into the club which he has then lost. Now it might be small change to him but the fact is that in good faith he wrote it off so that Sisu could take over the club. Very much unlike Sisu now who it seems have no intention of writing off their debt for the good of the club. Maybe Robinson was a disaster for the club, to me he seemed to try and bring success by putting money in, however misguided this was. Why the hatred for someone who seemed to try his best for the club and who also put his money where his mouth is?

Might also want to check out the way Derrick Robins ended up selling his shares in CCFC.

So explain why he was malicious rather than misguided. What did Robins do with his shares?

Might also want to check out the Newmarket scheme of player acquisitions.

Irish Sky Blue · Oct 7, 2016

Well if you know why not explain?
