Why would sisu out scare away a potential investor?
And when you have 'forced' SISU out and scared away any potential investor .... then what?
Are you so determined to make your poster name 'afc coventry' become a reality that you will go to any length?
Clearly nobody will want to invest in Manchester United anymore as they have been protesting against their owners, what, you didn't know thats how it works?
Sorry Godiva, had you missed the fact that we have an interested party, brought together by an ardent fan, who wants to buy the club from these clowns.:facepalm:
Why would any potential investor be scared away by fans who care about their club, as its when they dont care that they should worry.
If you think that investors are stupid, you should think again.
What the fans are saying about the present owners they will repeat with new owners - who would have to run the business just like the previous.
It really doesn't matter to investors if their frontman is a passionate supporter. In fact that should make them more cautious, as decisions made with the hearth is often more wrong than right.
So Godiva my dear what would you do ?

Your arguement that we should be cautious of potential new owners being headed by a passionate supporter is just claptrap. He is a very successfull buisnessman who I think from heading several UK banks would have learnt that you do buisness with your head and not your heart.
But if you disagree thats up to you. I think you will be in a very small minority.
So if he runs the club as 'very successfull businessman' what exactly will he do differently?

But if future investors lie & go back on their word like Sisu then we are right to scare them off. I don't want anyone like this shower in my club again.
Buy half the Ricoh to increase income streams, invest in the team to improve ticket sales.
FFS I dont know exactly I am not Ken Bruce, or Hoffman, but yuou sound just like Dulieu.
Perhaps he will have a different buisness plan, and will decide if you invest a little in the team, win some games, and give the fans hope, then more people will come through the turnstiles, bringing more revenue.
That would be a good start rather than draining the fans of any hope, and dropping gates to 13k, and remain in the bottom three.
Your arguement is like sticking your head in the sand and saying lets stick as we are as SISU are doing it the only way they can.
Its funny lots of other clubs have successfull buisness plans, in contrast to us, do you think they all do it the SISU way.:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
No, I just see things a bit differently and in shades of grey.
You want to get rid of our owners - those who have us on life support - without knowing or even care if new owners can provide a better life support and ensure we are cured from the cancer of excess spending.
didnt do Liverpool any harm.Because investors hate risks .. oh, but they do! ... they won't like one bit the prospect of fans deciding their future exit point.
Do you know how investors think, what drives them, what drives them away?
But anyone can see Sisu are killing us.
Fact we are losing more money each month now with Sisu in charge.
Fact the squad is now weaker with Sisu running the show.
I don't know about anyone else but I am willing to takethe risk of new owners running our club.

It looks to me Godiva that you are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
I can't imagine that GH wants to work with SISU. Don't forget that he resigned because of the way SISU were running the club. It would be surprising, therefore, if he encouraged new investors to help SISU. He wants them out.That would work for me if OldSkyBlue58 haven't told us that buying half the Ricoh won't get us income stream to increase our wage bill.
And again, if Hoffman can bring the money to buy the Ricoh, why use it to buy out old loans to SISU?
Let them work together!

I think SISU is keeping us alive rather than killing us.
We are loosing much less now than when SISU took over.
The squad is much slimmer - way too slim (I never said anything to the contrary) - but that is necessary to bring down the wage bill.
I will take that risk too - but I before I jump to wanting SISU out, I will need reassurance the new owners really have a viable plan to take us forward.
BTW - in regards to the threadbare squad: If Ranson had managed to sell Westwood and Gunnar last summer that money would have been very usefull towards strengthing our current squad. As it stands the two players went for nothing (exept for the tribunal on Gunnar), and I think that was the last nail in Ransons coffin - SISU forced him out.
