No me too. I just hope Hoff keeps improving the offer until SISU finally accept rather than just give up and wait another three years before the next one.
is it only me getting over exited? haha
Why isn't the time and a place to scrutinise now? After all whatever we say isn't going to affect the outcome, is it?
This kind of thing doesn't happen everyday so why shouldn't there be discussion? Don't get it myself.
we absolute should be going through this with fine comb as much as possible
I'm just saying there is a massive over-scrutinisation from a few on here
Nick, you don't need to tease this particular thread along, it seems to have gathered momentum all on its own . :beaver:
Yes, but asking questions will help know if it will get rid of them surely?
If a fan asking questions about it causes that much of a stir what will SISU do to it?
That's right, you don't need to.Somebody said I wouldnt back a massive bid.
I said I would but would still ask questions and want as much info as possible.
You said I didnt need to push the thread along?
Make your mind up.
I was replying to somebody mentioning me directly?That's right, you don't need to.
Time to pick your side ?
Because it's the only chance I can see us ever getting rid of SISU. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a discussion, we absolute should be going through this with fine comb as much as possible. I'm just saying there is a massive over-scrutinisation from a few on here who are behaving as if they want the bid to fail.
Anyone know where I can get a Husky Mini Fridge, say between 40 and 50 litres?
Think back to when SISU came in...
Nobody is saying they will be 100% worse, it however doesn't mind it should be blindly backed as they aren't SISU and without any information.
He knew 2 weeks ago that a bid was coming in and got mocked for it, until yesterday when everyone who mocked him got to eat humble pie. He has been bang on the money everytime, even said the first bid will be rejected knowing that the bidders had something up their sleeves. Simon Gilbert has completely embarrassed himself trying to mock it for the past 2 weeks and then who broke news of a bid? fucking Simon.Then again this John bloke said a deal had already been agreed in principle which it hadn't? Maybe he's not that reliable either
I'm questioning the bid because I'm so desperate for sisu to go I want the bid to be as good as possible so they will take and be gone by sunrise.
What does that make me?
No they are not hoping the bid will fail. There isn't one person who wants that. Your "as if" is as bad as Irish Sky Blues' "It's almost like..." statement.
Saying fans want the bid to fail because they are asking questions is ridiculous.
On one hand you say we should be going through this with a fine tooth comb yet in the next breath accuse people of wanting it to fail.
Maybe we can go through it with a fine tooth comb as long as we don't ask anything controversial or question anything in case we are labelled as someone who wants the bid to fail.
I repeat: it is out of our hands. Nothing we day on here will influence the outcome.
Supporters should ask for this in reply to any correspondence regarding season ticket renewals :smuggrin:

7 figure sum up front with add ons of 25 mill , allegedly!Do we know the details of the bid ?

Sisu's policy has been one of cutting costs, cutting infrastructure, cutting ties to the community. Do you really think that a group putting money in are going to shoot themselves in the foot and continue with those polices? Even if Hoffman group are not very effective that is still better than what amounts to a deliberate dismantlement of our club.
What did he do while on the board that was bad? (Genuinely don't know)
I see where the username comes from. Just messing.Yeah I'm the only person whos mentioned new owners... my mistake

John doesn't get anything from this.
You're being really over sensitive on this. I've not said anything like some of the comments some twatty people have thrown around earlier on like 'SISU lover' or whatever else. I'm just pointing out that there looks to be some people that are criticising for the sake of criticising.
I'm not saying we cannot ask questions, but there is a clear few that have consistently bashed this bid from page one until now.
Have some balance man and it will be taken seriously.
What I'd like to hear about the bid is - commitment to level 2 academy...
ricoh extension agreed in principle...
increased playing budget...
rather than soundbites such as 'seven figures' and 'hard to turn down'.
And can't help feeling Wasps are going to be involved somehow...
Over sensitive? I guess I could say the same when you accuse people of wanting the bid to fail. Let's just agree to disagree.
The fans participation is interesting because I do not think that involves the trust at all. I would also suspect it would be a separate class of share with no real say or voting rights. Simply a different way to raise the funds to make the bid. After all this the fans deserve a proper say not lip service to fan involvement. I hope I am wrong
Why in heavens name would you offer them £25m in add ons? That basically mortgaging any potential future success and making it harder to retain that success. That's a huge figure
He told you all a bid was coming.... it did... twice...He said a deal had been agreed? It hasn't...
Nick will be leading a protest, throwing rubber Tim Fishers and Whistling like fuck.Imagine the scenes first game of next season with new owners
