if we had signed 0 players would you have got a st mate?

nout wrong with it btw, i am excited for league 2 aswell. just wondering if you got ST because sticking it to sisu doesnt work or because you see a good season coming?

Still would of got ST's regardless of players incoming. Robins influenced my decision, and my wife. I really believe we'll have our first top 6 in decades, look how well Robins done with the same players who were dross under Mowbray, Venus and Slade. The Wembley visit too, I'll never forgot my sons faces when we lifted the cup, they had tears like I did, I want more of that!

Good to see robins influenced your wife. He's putting extra work in with pr

That's what it's all about, I'm going into the season not expecting anything so will see what happens.

Your lads won't care if it's Lincoln or Crewe!

Too many people let anger and things whipped up to get them angry and blur things like that that you have posted!

Well it actually depends who leaked the info for him to spout on here doesn't it.

Mr Hoffman says he was annoyed it was leaked so we have to assume he was not the source.

So let's guess. I'm saying someone from wasps told him to stir it up on here.

could be something in that though.

Too many people focused on that Italia knew things and that you couldn't question why or how he knew

After all, if I was posting little bits of inside info from SISU but with added emotion and the aim of getting fans worked up I'd guess fans would just focus on the fact I knew things and the source didn't matter, right?

nick you seem to think you have been right all along over the tiniest things

every one was happy to get takeover info. italia provided that. there was and still really isnt any need to question how he gets it. hes got inside info and it doesnt hurt anyone for him to share it.

if its all part of a plan to rid us of sisu then lets hope it works right?!

Again it depends on the source and the motivation.

The motivation for wasps isn't necessarily for the benefit of the club.

As for the trust its handling of the Haskell debacle - a chancer who'd only ever bid when he knew he couldn't win - it shows they are best to steer well clear

you can tell everyone they miss the point or they are blinded and do all the smilies you want

fact is not everyone thinks like you and your obsession with being "right" leads you to telling everyone they must be wrong.

very strange indeed.

there you go again

why is anyone who listens to consortium swallowing their spin?

the majority of this board are well balanced on realising sisu want too mcuh and cosnortium need to up their bid. also questions have been asked about do they have the money. but thats all stuff for a later date because majority of fans priority is sisu out. if next owners are not oil barons then thats ok. if they are worse than sisu then its a unliekly but still a risk worth taking perhaps. all this stuff has been discussed at length over last 6 weeks. no one is blindly doing anything.

thats not swallowing or,missing the point or being blinded. its just being a fan of your football club.

I'm on about not being bothered about who is leaking things. You actually can't see how it changes the context and motivation for it.

You will just accept italia pushing his stuff without question, saying the who leaks it to him isn't important.

That's the bigger picture and the fact people aren't bothered or even think about things like that is my point.

Why is it when I point out things are pr people give it the conspiracy stuff and I get hammered but weeks later it's talked about like it's normal.

You would assume he expected to be conducting negotiations in private.
So he wouldn't have to do anything in private

Not eithout question. How can you not understand this.

I.do.not.care who gives him info. As long as thst means wheels are turning in the background to get sisu out im all for it. I dont need to know who it is and why

I want whatever gameplan is in place to work thats all. I do not need to know the details. Good luck to them i say.

Do you have an issue with the skyblue trust joining with a consortium hoping to buy CCFC from SISU.
Click to expand...
Philosophically I'd have no issue with this whatsoever. The fans owning, say, 20% of the club would be a very good thing, IMNSHO - a say, without having the overall influence. This would be dependent on other shareholders not owning more than 20% mind you, otherwise you're just pissing in the wind.

I do worry about how this comes about, though. It does suggest to me that either the consortium doesn't have the cash it maybe needs, and/or doesn't actually have a plan as such, and is making it up as they go along... which would concern me slightly. Appreciate things change, but it doesn't seem to be a constant based on previous form, for Hoffman to want fan involvement. tbh, I can live without fan involvement with the right owner so not fussed either way, but do hope any change isn't motivated by a shortage of funds, or a marriage of desperation.

I'm also assuming the trust would offer similar to any owners of the club, and it's just that this consortium is public and 'interested' that makes them stand alongside them... which would be a perfectly reasonable for them to do so.

Do you think an image on the internet is going to make them shit themselves and sell up?

How can us as fans actually help the takeover? How can we effect it? You are the one on here repeating stuff for other parties trying to get the fans fired up, so what's the call to action, what should they do?

I have no hidden agenda, you can try and play that line all you want. It's quite clear you are trying to deflect from me pointing yours out though. I'm not the one having people feed me information to post on here to try and get the fans worked up. Y

You still aren't answering what the fans should do to help the takeover. Actual serious replies and not post a picture on the internet. What should we do? Donations, investment, volunteering for jobs once the takeover has done to sort things? What?

Why don't you try it and see if it makes a difference instead of being fickle and assuming it won't?

What's the worst that could happen? SISU put you on the media ban list with the CT?

I don't think anyone is saying it would. Not an excuse to not do it though when you could if you wanted. If only to make a personal statement. Not sure why you're so afraid to make a permanent statement on the forum that the fans of CCFC don't want SISU. What's the worst that could happen? What have they done to deserve breathing space from the administrator of this forum? What do you have to lose by making this statement? Why wouldn't you when you keep telling us it's what you want? Considering it's apparently what you want why has the suggestion had to be made for you to do it in the first place?
