Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations (5 Viewers)

Grendel said:

So my guess is;

Takeover fronted by you know who
Agreement in principal to stay at the Ricoh
Ground sponsorship hand in hand with said "takeover"
Details of "takeover" confidential but zero funds upfront with payback on achievement
"takeover" already been rejected and we need to get pitchforks at the ready.

Not often I agree with you G but I think you're on the money with this one. If Italia is in the know (awaiting proof but happy to give him benefit of doubt), then surely it must be something to do with Hoffman etc cosying up to Wasps.

The same was probably said last time, while Italia was making Gifs about SISU Saving Us and shouting at everybody to back them.

We've had some poor owners, but do you really think any previous owner has been worse than SISU ?

Get ready to back your side.

So much spin in so few words.

Chinese firm to purchase mystery English club - could it be CCFC?

Or even just trying to find out more information about it.

It's exactly the same as when KCIC did that offer, anybody who asked any sort of question was defending SISU.

It's laughable.

You knew the details of the KCIC offer. What's laughable is you don't know the details of any offer that may or may not be in at the moment but you're already lining your ducks up comparing it with something else when you don't even know the starting price, if there actually is one.

Thing is how people will fall for it.

News coming out on Friday? Day before a potential protest at Walsall?

We didn't know any details about that other offer either, hence people asked perfectly legitimate questions about it to the person making it and you went off saying they were doing SISU's PR for them.

There are no ducks being lined up, there are simple questions being asked.

If you want ducks being lined up, have a look where it's being said to get ready to be angry....

The ones just before SISU. Their decisions to leave HR, to spend money we didn't have, to buy players and take the profit. They mismanaged the Ricoh project. How on earth did such a grand plan have no financial backing or detail. I'd say it runs SISU very close if not as bad. SISU have just continued the legacy.

The club needs a fresh start. No Elliott, no Hoffman, none of the old faces that have been here while the club has sank. Sorry if that upsets a few but I don't see Hoffman or Elliott as heroes.

We knew the details. They were listed in the open letter that KCIC put out when the offer was made. What we didn't know (at the time) is who was behind it.

Ducks everywhere.

Tony. Wasps taking over the academy. Gets all angry. Wasps say CCFC are welcome. Tony stops being angry. Hahaha

lets look at the positives. a group are putting a bid in. hopefully we will eventually get where we need to be

We didn't know the details, we knew a random made up number and nothing else.

Have a look through some of the perfectly valid questions asked in the thread. Simple ones like "what happens if the rent doesn't get paid" which are perfectly viable.

The ducks you keep banging on about are the ones telling people to prepare to get angry...

If it's as say Grendel guessed at, I would hope if we're getting into bed with wasps we'd get a decent kick back from the sponsorship.

It's evident that we're still the big draw at the Ricoh.

So you're getting upset about lack of information about the contents of an offer, yet the offer
Hasn't even been offered yet, it's just been leaked that there will be an offer hasn't it.

Nobody is upset about the lack of information....

It's about how somebody asks a question about the offer and it somehow becomes them defending SISU.

I have no idea what I'm talk about. Suddenly, I don't feel lonely anymore.

But how can you ask questions about the contents of an offer before it's been offered?
The people behind the offer (if there is one) haven't even made the fact there is an Offer public yet,
so they're hardly likely to divulge information that maybe contained within it.

From what I can gather from this thread there will be a takeover which involves incorporating a new badge.

I feel a right gullible old mug.

Ok, so just so I know what to do tomo...

A bid is going to be rejected by SISU, but I'm not allowed to ask any questions about it (as that's supporting SISU). Then I have to call/email/message SISU telling them to accept it?

In the meantime, the Pregnant Goldfish and the Lined Up Ducks are Aussie Rugby Union teams who are going be playing a friendlies against Wasps?

The bid went in last week, no Australians involved.

Getting into bed with WASPS might be our only way out of this,

No, the questions have been to Italia who has said about the rumour.
