You mean Hoffman elliot etc.. Personally very disappointed they allowed WASPs in and been part of this dubious tactic, always saw the Hoff as a good guy
And if they go too far and distress the club til it folds, plan b is the trust have it in writing for a Phoenix club to play at the Ricoh.Who are these interested parties?
I doubt Hoffman can afford it now Oversons pulled out. That's probably the reason they are trying to distress the club because they need the price knocked down.
And if they go too far and distress the club til it folds, plan b is the trust have it in writing for a Phoenix club to play at the Ricoh.
All bases covered.
Saddest part is if it wasn’t for the councils actions he’s in a position to have bought the club and the stadium.I’m going out on a limb here - Richard Overson will be the club’s next owner.
CCC approved SISU's ownership also. But as underhand as all this is, are we all just hoping for a favourable EC ruling because if that fails where do we go from there hoping WASPs continue to fail that may take years

He also had a mad hatter as his spokesmanThey also allowed Dale Evans in.
He also helped bring SISU in didn't he?
I don't really care about the EC ruling, but if it does find something amiss then I want the council coffers reimbursed and the people responsible for the irregularity investigated.
I don't want Coventry tax payers money used to subsidise an out of town rugby club.
I think when he means by involved is that they may have given contractual details to Hoffman to help him get a financial picture of what the club may be worth. It's not a direct conversation of you give us a 20% stake for free access to the stadium and f and b income. Either way it's fucking underhand and Hoffman needs to be questioned on it. And they say hedge funds are underhand!
But you do care because if the case is proven it will impact on WASPs / Ricoh and CCFC. However if there is no case what's SISU's next strategy ?
I'd put that down to the fact that they now have direct quotes from Overson they can useSad that it takes Overson coming out and directly saying it before the Telegraph wake up to what is going on.
Certainly explains why Hoffman said the other day he’s not bidding again.
Maybe finally the Telegraph and CWR will wake up and actually do their jobs.

Previously there has been supposition & suspicion but now we have someone at the heart of things who's brave enough to stand up and be counted
Richard Overson is coming out of this with a lot of credit
He even said, the only reason this has come to light is because the press decided to speak to him about the ST donation.
He sounds pretty open to it all so I'd expect one call a few months ago from the telegraph and he would have spoken then. The telegraph have come across this by accident not by decent journalism.
so what does everyone think is going on here?
The timing of this is a bit strange coming so soon after the Joy interview.
Anyone got any theories as to what the agenda is? I personally haven't a clue though it's proven a few things most of us were already fairly certain about regarding the cartels involvement in all of this. .
Same as it always has been, get rid of SISU at all costs regardless of the damage it causes. Get a yes man in.
I'd take it at face value. The CT spoke to him about the donation so he took the chance to point out he was no longer in the consortium as he'd seen people on line (presumably this forum) saying he was.I'm talking about Overson Nick, are you?

Maybe he was just donating 4 tickets rather than one upmanshipOh sorry, just was in general.
I am not sure, I know he supports the academy an awful lot and made the donation as well. I assume his donation was to get one up over Joy with the amount he donated.
I had heard he had left the consortium.
I initially thought that too but he also donated £1,040 which is exactly 4 adult season tickets. I imagine as cash isn't really a barrier for him, he wanted to donate a whole amount in terms of season tickets.Oh sorry, just was in general.

Ranson has been seen at games recently with Hoffman and Elliott, are you getting mixed up with him? Or maybe Derek Richardson the Wasps owner.Wasn't it rumoured that Bryan Richardson had joined the consortium? if so maybe Overson left because of him?

As crap at journalism as the telegraph are if someone tells you they've left the consortium there's no way you don't follow that up with asking them why.
