thorn in my side

And where is Hoffman's?
It's only my opinion, but some people are bang out of order on here.
We have someone who is a lifelong city fan, who (allegedly) wants to get the club back on track, and all we hear is aggression from some quarters, demanding that he openly states his hand, and how he intends to play it!
Are some people clueless about how to conduct business deals? Do they want potential investors to waste money on ridding the club of Sisu? Would you tell a car salesman how much money you have in the bank, and how much you are prepared to pay, and when?
If you are so self-assured and righteous about your contribution to ccfc, whilst bemoaning the efforts of others to construct a deal, where is your £40million?
Business deals to time to conduct. It is not a simple case of here is £30m and the deal is done. There are likely some serious negotiations going on regarding not only the purchase but also the debt owed to SISU investment funds.
And whilst £30m may be chicken feed to a billionaire, doesn't mean they will piss it away on a whim. People are generally rich for a reason ie they are good with their money and consider what they are spending on.
I suggest instead of getting on Hoffmans back we allow him to try and do what we all hope he can do and buy out SISU.
Harrying him will not speed up a negotiation process but might just annoy the hell out of investors....
If it happens it happens but we can do nothing in this respect.
We are "harrying" him because Keys keep tweeting rubbish suggesting the bid is imminent, sit tight...oh no...backtrack...takes a little time. If Keys shut up then the "harrying" would subside.
, but the fans, most of whom don't post on websites are concerned about their club and it is their club by the way.
Some say that Hoffman is telling Keys what to do? People who believe that really need to understand that Keys has a lot of air time to fill. From what Eakin said, sounds like Keys had no such permission to go blabbering. So therefore, why has Hoffman got a case to answer? For what..not reigning in his bitch?
I thought that too, LL. Who knows? Maybe the Hoff will say 'keep tightening the screw' or 'please stop, you are hindering our efforts' or anything between those two extremes. It would certainly do no harm to see if co-ordinated efforts would help.Why doesn't jan contact keys and get him to see if hoff will meet up with fans to discuss how we may help each other?
I heard that but didn't want to be first to put it on here, by Thursday apparently.substantial bid going to seppala this coming week
She's not so fat, lagger!substantial bed going to seppala this coming week

Really wish people would understand it isnt about valueing the shares in CCFC or its holding companies. Whichever way you look at it £1 is more than enough.
The deal if there is one is stalling on the amount to be repaid on the loans and how, it has nothing to do with a value for the shares. Heard Linnell blabbering on about how much did people feel the club was worth and why SISU thought it was worth more - completely misunderstands what is going on.
I also think "confronting" anyone over this is the wrong way to proceed - it is more likely to drive investors away. People comment about idle chat here driving investors away and then it gets suggested we "confront" potential investors or their representatives :facepalm: This is not a simple deal and SISU are very used to complex & difficult negotiations - they are not the sort to roll over easily, they built their reputation elsewhere on that.
Yes we need to see transparency but ...... when there is something to be transparent about ! GH says he is trying to broker a deal ............. there is little more he can or should tell us

Yes, I thought "confront" was a strange word to use there.
Why in the summer and not January?
Its not as simple as saying any potential takeover would have happened by now. Why would it? Whats in it for long term investors to buy now? Whats it worth to SISU to sell now?
THis is a complex situation and it will take time, particularly when you have very hard-nosed individuals leading the negotiations.
It WILL happen, but it will take time. It might even take administration to force it through. Stop panicking, get behind the team and wait it out...
