Simple really. In such a conflict, who would - should - win?

I would like to see what Hoffman / Ranson have to say.

It is one of those things, who do you believe? If you believe everything Ranson said then he wanted to run the club properly (not selling players etc) so if he had the bumph to buy us and run is properly then why not.

After today, I don't believe much SISU say!

Don't know who the winners are but u certainly feel like one of the losers thra for sure.

If I had to say one I would say Sisu they seem to do what they like and don't seem to have a clue about running a football club. whilst thus may sound like a backward answer if they cannot run it imagine if and when they do try and sell it.

SISU lost me with the whole "we have a meeting with the council on Friday!" BS.

Any positive thoughts gained by the £8 million investment have been nullified by that, and the lack of a detailed plan to purchase the Arena beyond asking the Council, ACL, the local community and the fans to 'be nice with us'.

What happens after the season ends? (assuming we make it that far?) No income, no home games. What's the magical business plan then?

At least Ranson wanted to keep Fox and Dann, by the looks of it SISU couldn't wait to get rid and have waited until the club was on the verge of Admin before investing more funds. Plus Ranson understands football, SISU are focused on 'the brand'. Sure, Ranson choose Coleman and AB but I currently doubt if SISU would do any better.

Did they actually say 8m? I thought it was just "several million"..but given CWR's balls up, I missed a few bits.

I'm sure they said £7 million, but CT are saying 8.

What does frustrate me, is SISU waiting till the brink of admin to plow in however much it is. Now if they plowed this in at the start of January, we wouldnt have been near admin, we could have brought in a couple of loans to cover our injury nightmare and we possibly wouldnt be in the scariest relegation dog fight weve been in for years.

SISU OUT.

If they had gotten this investment for the January transfer window we could be in with a play off chance and still have a manager and a functioning club instead of this wreck. BRING ON THE HOFF!

And let's not forget the years it has taken to realise that they need to buy the stadium and like CG said what a fucking plan that seems to be. You should be in final negotiations a long time ago the price will keep going up and they clearly are not serious about the stadium else they would have done something by now surely.

Exactly, these are all meant to be astute business men.

Yet, they are now thinking "hold on, we need the stadium" a few years after everybody else.

Hoffman yesterday gave you a whole front page of bullshit.

Why are you so keen to jump in to bed with him and ranson?

I voted for them because the bullshit scale was higher with SISU.

We can blame Sisu and co all we want, but if we are going to call for anyones head, it should Bryan Richardson. LETS REBUILD HIGHFIELD ROAD BRICK BY BRICK!

Firstly, he's a fan. 2nd, he's angry-and about the same things as I'm angry about. 3rd...no, I don't remember any B.S. actually. It seemed all true.
4th-he's the only sodding hope we have right now! Finally..would you want SISU owning Leicester? 'Cos you're welcome to them, mate.

They did have Mandaric!

I'd sooner have Mandaric than Sisu, but given the choice, neither.

Hoffman was giving the same type of Shilo as Sisu with his claims of the club breaking even by next season, and that he was looking for outside investors.
You've all been fooled in to believing that ranson was some kind of hero.
How much of a salary was he taking each year?

I imagine not as much as the million pounds he has written off by resigning.
