The keys tweeting saga (2 Viewers)

[derbyskyblue]

i'm beginning to think he must have the hoffs blessing to keep on tweeting. All of them were there at the bristol match wining and dining.
I'm sure they must have discussed this and anything else to keep the pressure on.

On his radio show this morning Keys made out he knew nothing about his induction as honouray member of former players association on Saturday till he was asked to go to casino, yeah like I believe that!

Why is keys in that :s

And I think the Hoff would've told him to stop on Monday if he had a problem with it

 

[Chipfat]

I dont care if he was in there naked, did know or didnt know aslong as he keeps talking nationally about the plight of the football club... I swear jealousy is a part of why this man is gettting slagged off, he is a cov kid done good and is heard by the nation,, not some local messageboard!!!

 

[ICHAN]

I do not know where you get the Jealousy part from Chipfat just because some may not want him saying anythink in case he jepodises a takeover, has nothing to do with jealousy.
I am a cov kid done good so why would I be jealous, I do not know the man and have nothing personal against him, can not say I dislike him or like him and that has nothing to do with my view on his tweets.

 

[Chipfat]

I never mentioned names just posted it as a general comment,,,,,and gave my opinion is that not allowed...

As for keys hurting the process? he maybe doing exactly what the backer is telling him to do!!!!!!! they are making SISU come to the table.... In the casino, on the stage on the radio in the papers hardly quiet is it.... Hostile takeover remember what he said nothing in 10 days we will make this very public... Then once the in depth talking has started he will be told to be quiet until the deed is done..... Just my opinion like, if allowed.

ICHAN, like I've said before, you'd have to question how serious any backer is if they pulled out due to a bit of talk on Twitter. It's not as if he's stating anything any specifics, just little tidbits of info about how things are happening. And, I would also say, there's no way he's doing this without being told to do so. I thoroughly believe Hoffman see's any national media as a vessel for keeping the pressure on the owners and he's using his affiliation with keys to his advantage. Probably from his time working with them he realised they really don't like any negative press!

Jealousy is very rarely a source of criticism.

 

[Kuklinski]

Well said Chipfat.

 

[bulkingtonskyblues]

richard keys is a mad cov fan like hoffman, elliot, robinson, and all of us on this forum, no more or no less and he simply wants what is right for the club, if anybody is seriously doubting the guy or his motives they should be ashamed of themselves, mad

 

[ICHAN]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion Chipfat and I do not get why you think you are not allowed I never said you were not or anything of the kind.
You did say however that you swear jealousy is partly a reason why he get's slagged off.
I was just responding from my view point on Keys and their are some who are getting a bashing from not towing the keys line, I myself got a bashing so to speak when I first questioned Keys motives when he first came out with his tweets, regarding I am not a cov fan etc just because I think he should not be airing what is happening regarding the takeover.
This now has nothing to do with the protest that is going on and I am fully behind getting sisu out of this club and I also want a takeover to happen just as much as the next person but my views on how this should be done are differant from some others, nothing to do with Jealousy, and yes I understand that you did not aim your statement at me personally.

However I could say that those who follow keys, ranson or whatever are very gullable people but that would be wrong as those who do follow and want keys snippets of information it maybe important for them to want that ray of hope and need it so that they will feel we are being closer to this nightmare ending, then thats fine by me, would never class those people anything other than fans with a differant view point and need to myself.

I fully agree with you KG regarding any serious backer if they pulled out because of twitter, however the last takeover was hampered by KD for spouting off.
Theoretically speaking what would we be saying now if Onye Iggy (whatever his name is) orsomeone from sisu was doing the same?
My view is I would prefer it to be kept in house, I know this is not going to happen and too late now anyway, does not make me want a takeover any less or have any opinions on keys personally.

 

[kg82]

You could ask that question, it will never get answered though! SISU do not seem to like the media, full stop! Honestly the reason I think Keys is doing this. The group backing the bid will have advisers and I could see them saying to do it? I get why people don't like it and I geet why people do like it. I would say though that it's been going on for a while now and if it was going to jeopardise anything it would've done so by now?

 

[ICHAN]

I agree that if a takeover is happening keys would have been told to post little things to get the fans on side otherwise he would be silent that is without question.
And yes if it was to jeopardise anythink it would have happened by now, totally agree KG.
But this is sisu we are talking about and they are not a normal run of the mill group of business people and as you say they do not like the media, so could this slow down negotiations? no-body knows the answer to that, only those involved, however upto now it is not making any differance otherwise keys would not be saying anything.
However if keys goes quiet then what, will we have sisu are to blame.
I hope you can see where I am trying to go with this KG?

My thoughts on this would have been nothing said, but it has gone past that now, because people will be wanting tweets/ news off him daily soon.
Whether this has been a good thing or not only time will tell, but I like everyone else just wish it was all over and we were already takenover.

 

[kg82]

I can see where you're coming from, of course! Don't get me wrong, I quite like these tweets that Keys gives but I do want the whole thiing over! I'd rather we could all just get back to supporting the team again! Actually, let me re-phrase that - I'd rather we could all just go back to supporting the team 14 years ago again!

 

[ICHAN]

Would be nice KG.:claping hands:
Like yourself and many wish we could just move on now away from the whole sorry state of affairs that always seems to happen to coventry, nothing ever goes smoothly.

irrespective of all what has been said in this thread, you will all know that if you listen to talksport that RK has been steadily raising the Cov profile over the last few weeks.

Why I am not sure but he most certainly has. It makes a change from all the normal Chelsea,Arsenal.Manu and Liverpool all the time for sure and I am happy with that. I am sick of hearing about clubs full of cash and no passion and johnny come lately fans. The nice thing is that whatever anyone thinks of RK he keeps us on the map which is more than can be said of BBC Sport or ITV central .
