Rumour: Bad News (4 Viewers)

Sky Blue Sheepy · Aug 17, 2011

Again this is only from a lad at work, who spoke to 4 people at the Palace game yesterday.
He says (I already see how suspicious this looks) that these 4 guys protested outside SISU's office in London yesterday and that they are actually meeting Brody next Wednesday.
They also claim that SISU are going to sell Clingan for £1m, Juke for £2m and Turner for £1m to Southampton as well as take the money from the Dann transfer and then sell to Hoffman for £24m - making them a tidy £5m profit (from the alledged £30m they claim to have invested.
No reason to believe the lad's lying - whether these 4 people are or not remains to be seen.
If this happens, then we're screwed... but the rebuilding may finally begin.

So 4 guys who were protesting outside Sisu's office were told by Sisu that we wil be selling players and then selling the club to Hoffman?

Seriously?

Ha ha ha ha

Sky Blue Sheepy · Aug 17, 2011

I know, sounds a bit suspicious doesn't it. Still, in his words they were "adamant".
Tbh I'll believe it when I see it - but maybe this is 'openness' Brody was on about all along -.-'

A bit suspicous?

I realise we are all desperate for some good news or positive change, but seriously???

£24million for a club that would have no real assets once Clingan, Juke and Turner have gone.... When the initial offer was £1..... I dont see that!

pusbccfc · Aug 17, 2011

Its believable to tell the truth

CovKingChris · Aug 17, 2011

So, if I go and stand outside the SISU head office, I will gain all insight to the clubs business?

kg82 · Aug 17, 2011

Alright, don't take the piss, he's just relaying messages. It sounds unbelievable but we'll find out won't we.

Sky Blue Sheepy · Aug 17, 2011

As said I wasn't exactly lapping it up myself, though it sounds less believable everytime I read it lol

OyJimmy · Aug 17, 2011

The rumour I have heard is that SISU are basically trying to raise 10 million from the sale of players and will then put us into admin (maybe if Hoffman won't buy?).

operationprem · Aug 17, 2011

It was on CWR before the game there was a small protest outside sisu office, brinner was being interviewed apparently brody phoned him an there gonna try an set up a meeting to reassure fans. Nothing about selling the club or players though

SkyBlueinLondon · Aug 17, 2011

I work near their offices so will go and stand outside every morning and then report what they tell me to you all. We should then all be fully informed on the goings on at Coventry

skybluesam66 · Aug 17, 2011

more or less what i told you last week, except the 24m is wide of the mark, and is closer to 3-4 m

Astute · Aug 17, 2011

I was standing outside the offices last week. They told me they were raising enough money to buy Fabregas. That is the reason for the lack of spending. Problem is he decided to go somewhere a little warmer at the last minute

SkyBlueScottie · Aug 17, 2011

I would rather they set up meetings with potential investors rather than trying to placate fans reassuring us that come next year we will be in a better shape as we will stick rigidly to the financial fair play rules..... They are using that as an excuse to not spend any money, you just know that any board worth their salt will find a way to increase revenue, bloody hell it only took Man City a naming rights deal to circumvent it.

As for Brody when he is answering our questions, has his Mum confiscated his pc/ i phone / blackberry off of him as he has been very quiet on twitter

crowsnest · Aug 17, 2011

Got to be true, because all clubs pay all the transfer money up front in cash !!!

Il Pirata · Aug 17, 2011

Sure we had this same rumour already.

Jack Griffin · Aug 17, 2011

LOL, Hoffman won't be paying any money to SISU.

guicey15 · Aug 17, 2011

Anything is possible when SISU are in charge. God knows what there going to do next. Expect the unexpected

Ah, they invisible Brody reappears....

Kept his mouth shut for weeks, but then buckles to 4 chaps standing outside and office on a wednesday afternoon, unless one of them was Jack Bauer, i wouldnt have thought this was true

oldskyblue58 · Aug 17, 2011

Pot and kettle come to mind.

He is only expressing an opinion, and it is a forum, so why not give him a break.

You certainly didnt like people calling you 'nasty names' on other forums.

Fair enough, I literally reposted something I was told at work this morning.

I'm a regular poster on here and consider most of my posts to be well thought out - if not always 100% accurate.
Consider you've posted your fair share of heat-of-the-moment tripe, please refrain from comparing me to a WUM

Sterling Archer · Aug 17, 2011

I was standing outside the SISU offices and Brody came out and told me that they've taken the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary.

Countdown and Scrabble fans would be up in arms

skybluedan · Aug 17, 2011

Godiva · Aug 17, 2011

Deleted - hadn't read the whole of todays postings.

ajsccfc · Aug 17, 2011

As much as I'd like to believe SISU revealed their diabolical plan, it should be remembered that Bond villains are fictional characters.

SkyBlueScottie · Aug 17, 2011

Why hant this thread been closed since its completly inaccurate as Brinner has since posted what happened and what was said.
