Right, so is the one that Keys is on about, different to Hoffmans? Or the same one?

David Hasselhoff's

I wonder if it's the December 2012 one he bragged about. A slow burner maybe.

Back a bid by Hoffman and whom? What are we supposed to be getting behind here?

Have you read the posts made today?

Mystery bidders to Mystery owners... Sounds about right!

hill and the kardashians i think.....

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

until i read the words *SISU ACCEPT TAKEOVER BID* im just gonna treat it like every other rumor, been too much this flying around getting hopes up and nothing happening.

I don't think it's as much the up front stuff, but more what will be done about the debt.

I would say that for that £500K they are expecting the club debt free. Then with the add ons even if, by some miracle we got to the Prem, the total payment would only be £1.25m

I heard it was the Kardashians and David Hasselhoff

Well, you can get behind the Hoff.... i'll get behind the Kardashians... fair enough? (unless it's the bloke/girl)

Would be interesting to know, but I'd guess the same as they are pals.

I wonder if it's the December 2012 one he bragged about. A slow burner maybe.

Well the CET (ever reliable...) are running it as a live story as if negotiations are under way but I was under the impression the Hoffs bid was rejected as derisory?!

So I guess that means that there's either another bid, the Hoff has gone back to discuss further or the CET are wide of the mark.

Erm....

 

[Sterling Archer]

Jesus Christ. Are you actually this thick?

The details about it will either get it credit, or discredit it. That's my point.

I've read a lot of Sky Blue Kid's posts and can confirm, yes ... he is that thick.

 

[Moff]

Only if he has all his friend's from Baywatch with him.

What's your logic for that chief?

Damn, you win

So if the offer was made last weekend and the club statement today says it isn't credible for SISU its a non starter surely. Some will say its the start of negotiations but is it? The club statement is actually quite scathing of the bid if you read it. As too is the content from Reid

The club statement was to get their story out in public first. They and Reid knew this was coming out. Can't help thinking the CT announcement actually doesn't help when dealing with the hermit that is Joy Seppala, she expects things to be private and it is her that has to be persuaded

Does make me think we are back to where we were 5 years ago doing everything (and nothing ) in the press hoping fans pressure will make the difference to an offer that hasn't tempted SISU :banghead::banghead::banghead:

it does however put to bed this myth that there is no one interested

other than that not sure what to make of it

There will always be people interested.

As we all know, the issue is you'd be a nutter to be interested at a valuation worthwhile for SISU.

Agree about the press/media coverage, that's not helpful. I still remember some of the offer / not-offers from the past too (that weren't credible) so forgive my scepticism until I see something concrete, and not the wordplay that I fear will inevitably follow.

Erm....

I think the fact they are refusing to answer if its the same bid or anything like that you can safely choose your option

He claims to have an IQ that would qualify him for MENSA

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

ALL HAIL ITALIA, ARE ALL KNOWING OVERLORD

 

[ajsccfc]

When the Kardashians take over we won't need matchday revenue, we'll rake it in from app sales and Instagram influence. And the players will wear Yeezy boots.

I'm in! Keysy and Kanye, together again

 

[olderskyblue]

Or the Precinct

We've done fish and ducks, now onto concrete... what a thread

 

[Ian1779]

So just to clarify - this serious bid is worth 1/3 of Freddy Eastwood?

 

[ajsccfc]

I'd love to think that this is an initial offer and it continues from there, rather than 'oh well we tried' and back to crushing reality immediately.

 

[Evo1883]

Have a bit of faith people , Hoffman is trying to step up where nobody else will ..
Let's hope he can work it out

 

[oldskyblue58]

for something that is worth £0

 

[Sterling Archer]

I just can't get excited by this. I'd love nothing more for our club than to get new owners and I am very much of a similar opinion to others who say "they just want a change regardless now" but I just feel we've been here before.

I can't see SISU budging and I can't see a consortium of Coventry businessman raising enough cash to tempt them.

..... which means when it does happen, I'll be more excited than everyone else. So there.

 

[Nick]

for something that is worth £0

Surely it's about the debt though? Was it 100% debt free or paying a % or what?

 

[ajsccfc]

Someone get Brian McFadden on board. They still use Flying Without Wings on ads, he's got to have a few quid spare.

 

[olderskyblue]

Can somebody approach David Hasselhoff, I would love it if the club were bought by Hoff and Hoff.

Fuck it, lets invite Kitt from Knight Rider as well.

Ha, the kit would be Hoff & Allsopp, with the other Hoff and the other Allsopp on the back...

 

[Ian1779]

I'd suggest a sweetener in the offer to pay SISU should we ever get back up to PL - that may entice them.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Think I can up you on that

 

[Hobo]

So just to clarify - this serious bid is worth 1/3 of Freddy Eastwood?

I think it is more than 10p

 

[Grendel]

Italia was originally claiming the bid was not available for release on Tuesday as a lot of things had to come together.

We now know the bid was submitted at the weekend - Hoffman and Elliot were at the game.

So what does Italia mean by "all come together".

We will perhaps find out tomorrow.

I'm guessing some yellow and black will be involved.

 

[Nick]

You're the thick fuck. You can't even see that you oppose anything remotely

View attachment 7197

Fuck sake, you are embarrassing. It gets past the point of being quite amusing.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Hang on, if you have no idea what the offer was why were you saying everyone should be backing it and phoning up SISU demanding they accept?

They could offer them a brick and a lump of coal and I would demand SISU accept it, no matter how unlikely it would be that they would. I don't care care what SISU get? Should anyone?
