Certainly a take over of some sort.

Which begs the question, why not tell us so we can get behind it?

Because it's probably Hoffman and he doesn't want his improved offer of £1.50 getting out too early.

The only way out of the mess in which we find ourselves is a buy out by Wasps. For that to happen we must make their move to the Ricoh a thumbing success. I know that this thought will be unpalatable to many but it really is the only way.

You want to be bought out by a company that has no hesitation in moving a club for money...

I want owners that care. If that is for the profit side of business then so be it. At present we have owners that don't care and only see the club as a red line on a balance sheet.

I really do not see anything wrong with that statement. I agree with it for the most part.

I can't see a problem with this statement. Yes, they could have had a go at Wasps too. No one in this fiasco is blameless. However Sisu are the major player, have been and continue to be awful. The fact that they have litigation lined up for years to come, which is the main stumbling block to any discussion taking place with the other parties, is enough to condemn them. The fact that the whole club off the pitch is a shambles from tickets to website is purely down to them and there can be no excuse for that. They are the cause of the log jam, they are the major contributor to our problems. We won't get our club back until they go.

If we get new owners I want some with some morals and respect for history.

First question did part of the legal action suggest the council were trying to wrestle control of ownership of the club?

Second question would you get behind a Wasps takeover if that is what it is about?

I didn't go to watch the club that i love in Northampton so think about it northern

That's where we differ in that my own view is you sometimes have to compromise for maximum effect.

In a wider sense... we'll all have to do that, won't we. Somewhere who bloody cares if we think SISU are more to blame, Wasps more to blame, CCC more to blame...

Philosophically, surely none of us can *really* argue that *any* of those have been anything but bad for our club, whether intentionally or otherwise?

The only place CCFC stands any chance at all of success and the rewards that brings
Is in Coventry, so why would they move us.

Never get behind a takeover from a business prepared to up and move a club for money.

They have form... And let's be honest all of our opinions on SISU are based on their previous actions.

It's not an issue for me if someone is out to buy us then I don't think it would be wasps anyway.

Let's hope not.

tbh I don't want any new owner that's positioned to take over by any of the interested parties. Ideal world we'd have a nice open bidding process (I know, I know) and we'd have a choice of half a dozen candidates (I know, I know) where a nice sympathetic administrator (yeah... I know!) would pick the one best for the club.

You really are an idealist Northern I admire it. But let's face it anybody with shed loads of money unless a lottery winner has only got it because they're evil bastards

Do these people even exist in business?
