Does anybody know whether or not Hoffman and Ranson have managed to get a consortium together to enable them to make a bid for the club? Or even whether there is any interest from anybody else interested in wasting their money by buying into the club?

I'm looking for some positives I guess because I can't see how the club can survive long term without some major financial help.

There hasn't been an news on it recently so I wouldn't have thought so. They may just be keeping it quiet though I guess.

If we go in to admin there will be many consortiums but until then SISU will continue to look for a rich idiot

Think they are unlikely to make that public until they can make a proper financed bid, if that is indeed their intention. LB said on the radio the other week that there had been some interest but no detailed offers or detailed discussions

How many times will that be?

2 or 3?

And how much was Yakubu on again?

You didn't spend half term doing research at the library like I told you to.

Do u actually want them bk? If the hoff wanted to save us he would have done so in 2007! Ranson was bad for the club always talked down to the fans which drove them away! Not saying we are better now, just maybe thoughs 2 were not right for ccfc!

Wow all that money to Yakubu, and it got you to the same league again next season. Well done.

I am glad you spent your half term wisely down at the library. Did the one in leicester have many with pretty pictures??:laugh:

The person who talked me that westy was going to Sunderland 3 weeks ago, also said: that 2 hong kong businessman, the Hoff hav put in a bid, but they want 1 more millionaire. Sisu have agreed to sell their part, but the council don't want to sell their share of the ground, and the consortium want everything. That's what I have heard probs nonsense

I heard this from a person who worked in the office at the ricoh and from someone who was westys wife's bride of honour at their wedding. I heard that Westwood was in talks with man city, Leicester, everton and Sunderland and he chose Sunderland since they were the only team to offer him premier league first team football.

Ha, gotta love The Hoff approach-first brazenly discsussing the takeover in full public view with H.K. dudes in The Varsity, and now openly boasting of his intentions in the club office. He clearly doesn't care who knows. Maybe that's why Brody was a bit more open to the possibility of the club being sold in his most recent CWR interview-there's not much point denying it.

Or it might all be nothing. Surely there would have been more gossip about it? Either way it does feel like our only hope!

Westwood's wife's bride of honour and an ex-director still allowed in to the office at co* and allowed to sow seeds of discontent.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So you got this from someone who didn't even know they were a maid of honour? :thinking about:

You're assuming that she is unmarried. She could equally have been a 'matron' of honour.
