Consortium makes Coventry City improved offer to buy club
New bid. I'm sure the Observer will tell us it's been rejected within the hour.
How much does this revised much improved offer and hint of proposal of plans for fan ownership now crank up the motives for more serious sisu out protests for the last game tomorrow before a long summer?
Strategic?
Are you sure you've got the right place?It's a fantastic place for an intelligent, well-reasoned and polite exchange of views and information.
Problem is you only have to look at social media to see many people are falling for the same thing again. Its all complaints about SISU rejecting the offer, SISU breaking commercial confidentiality (despite the fact its clear the leaks came from Hoffman's camp), the Observer being blamed for deliberately sabotaging the bid. Whats the saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.So basically this is just another way of getting Hoffman and Elliot in the papers again as there are no ongoing talks or credible offer. Cheers for the false hope lads

Everyone should be getting behind this. That includes every single CCFC fan and his fish (pregnant or not).
Would be foolish of anyone to think the timing was coincidental.How much does this revised much improved offer and hint of proposal of plans for fan ownership now crank up the motives for more serious sisu out protests for the last game tomorrow before a long summer?

That's the way forward. Put in a serious bid, show who the investors are and give proof of funds. Even better if they let the supporters know they have a viable plan and the backing to make it work.The thing to do would be to say:
"heres investors, heres proof of cash"
How do you like them apples.
To be honest, I couldn't give a fuck on who's leaking what, or which newspaper gets the most clicks. Even if the timing is a bit deliberate to stir some shit up tomorrow too, I don't see how that is a bad thing. The owners need to be under as much pressure as possible at this point.
I want SISU out of the club because the way it's going it won't be around much longer, so if there is someone trying to buy it we should get behind it, not make snide remarks every thirty seconds.
Yes, it might not be the perfect bid for the club just yet, but it's a fucking start. Everyone should be getting behind this. That includes every single CCFC fan and his fish (pregnant or not).
COVENTRY CITY today announced that the club's £20 million takeover is complete.
Sisu hopes the announcement will spark the dawn of a successful new era for the Sky Blues...
..."We can now look forward to a great future and I believe we now have a young dream team in place, including Ray Ranson, the new manager Chris Coleman, SISU and ACL, all working together.
"I am personally over the moon to be on the board and working with such a visionary chairman who, I am sure, will ensure there are great times ahead.
"It is an incredibly exciting day. SISU have invested heavily and the future of the club is in very safe hands....
The Walsall manager is obviously part of the conspiracy. (Although he is expecting pigs and that was definitely last week). Maybe Simon has briefed him.Exactly...
Just before a match where the opposing manager expects it to kick off.
I wonder how people calling for the club to be liquidated feel right now

People need more info to get behind it properly....
You have just said you aren't bothered if it's just being done to get a protest going, I'd prefer it was being done to actually buy the club and take it forward.
Where's he saying that, can you link?So according to the bloke who originally told us this rumour, the new bid involved a 7 figure up front payment rising to 25 million after promotions etc. This was rejected and talks are continuing. He seems more in the know than the press but let's see what's released later today

Nope. I won't believe it until its finished. I won't even believe it when it's in the telegraph. I won't believe it unless someone comes to my house and shows me the deeds to CCFC with their name, photo ID and proof of address. Even then I'll be sceptical.I have managed to stay grounded throughout all these fake rumours that have floated about the past few months. But after reading about this latest bid I can't help but get excited.... anyone else starting to finally believe this could be it?!
This one will make them think ?

Being cynical there, apparently it won't make a difference to people's feelings.

Do that and I doubt there would be very many supporters not giving them their full support.

Is that the John bloke?
That sounds a bit more promising...

As they say seven figure rather than an amount I'd say its £1m. Better but still a long way off what SISU will be looking for.the new bid involved a 7 figure up front payment rising to 25 million after promotions etc.
I take back what I said about Hoffman trying to get his name in the paper!
Hoffman is a fan and wants to buy us, could that be his fan ownership?Hoffman has also offered fan ownership but it's nothing to do with the trust, who has he been consulting on that side of it? They would have been ideal with the pompey meetings etc.
