I think the first question should be , is the club for sale ? I personally , suspect not . as it suits sisu to go along nicely doing whatever it is they're doing. as I've said before , they're not here for football reasons .
Whatever happened to that last guy who wanted to buy the club . a picture of him looking at himself in the mirror and worked in a basic unit in town somewhere ?

Everything's for sale.

Overpaying would be a bad start, pay what it is worth no more no less.

It's difficult to asses accurately but company check says his net worth is around £7 million.

It would make sense to me. If you owned one sixth of 40% of a business that is worth 208 million.(13 million)
However he did benefit from the first sale of that initial 60%.
I am going to guess he is worth 15 million.

Live: "Plummeting" season ticket sales should bring Sisu to the negotiating table
Click to expand...

Richard Overson suggested that a potential drop in season ticket revenue next season should be an incentive for Sisu to come to the table.

And there it is...

At least I called something coming out on the next ST deadline

A worse position would be sisu still being in charge next season. I'd rather someone pay their ransom and be gone with them.

I really do wonder if people hate sisu more than they love ccfc

What that we would hear something at the next ST deadline? It seems it was.

I guess the plan is to distress CCFC thinking it will force them to sell to Hoffman?

No I would guess the plan it to save CCFC from SISU...

Are you oblivious to SISU distressing our club and think everyone is going rosey?

So now you think fans are instigating to distress CCFC?

Again, you are justifying something done by comparing it to SISU. Nothing that any potential future owners do should be comparable to SISU.

Erm, NOPM and boycotts are to distress CCFC so yes they are.

tried that 3 times and got nothing back. How many times do you suggest they try. Lets say they say "heres £10m, take it or leave it" and they get same email, then what ?
Click to expand...
Perhaps its just me, but I'd give her the best offer you are prepared and stop dicking about. If I had the kind of money this guy apparently has, i'd simply say I'm not like Tim, I don't "filibuster", I'll give you £20M cash, no addons, thats the deal - you've got until Friday or I'm off. And if I got the derisery email then yes, I'm out.

And by the way, the club have sold 2000 ST's, so the CET have misprinted that figure...

I am sure this guy didn't get to where he is by offering £20m for something worth virtually nothing

Are you for real ?
Someone/Group would have to be a real piece of scum to be comparable to Sisu!

Just because this guy might have a few quid it doesn't radically alter the value of the club.
You don't make a few quid by paying over the odds for everything.
Him having a few quid would be of a benefit for the club going forward if he was part of a consortium that bought the club.
Getting some investor who would pay over the odds would just take us back to the Richardson dates (even though in that case it wasn't his own money he was spending)

what's your point, that this coming out today will stop people renewing today or it might give some hope and they will renew today ?

He just has, it happens a lot.

"But SISU do". Which is why nobody wanting to takeover should have anything possible to compare, nice to see you agree.

does it ?. So a potential investor is saying as crowds are down they should listen to offers ?

Question - Do you think this will put people off renewing today or give them hope ?

Still not understanding what you're implying. The ST drop was obvious before bids were made were they not? Is it not an incentive for SISU to rethink?

a local wealthy ccfc fan is part of the consortium wanting to take over ccfc.

What's in it that would stop someone renewing today ?

What is being deflected by saying any potential new owner shouldn't be able to be compared to them in any way?

Very weird.
