Before you say I am not saying any of this to you.

There are a fair few that called Italia different things. Then when we saw he was right moved to other personal attacks. Then moved on to those trying to make the deal. Yet have still not said anything positive.

Yes we need to ask questions. But we are allowed to look at the good parts as well.

Italia has all but admitted what I've accused him of and where he got his information from.

Certainly not Hoffman as he was disgusted it was leaked wasn't he?

I'd like to think Elliot had never deliberately done anything he through would be detrimental to the club. Think its more a case of him dealing with people above his level and being out manoeuvred.

Having said that I would prefer not to have him on the board or in a position of power / influence but I wouldn't have a problem with him having some sort of ambassadorial role going out in to the community and trying to bring local businesses back in as sponsors / advertisers.

Not disagreeing. Similarly you get Italia saying people want to stick with SISU, which is nonsense.

If you see wrong in one you should see the wrong in the other I would think.

Anyway just enjoyed my first game for four months in the sunshine.

Nah.
The give away is those moaning negatively, mocking and 'asking questions' are the very ones who never ask any questions of Sisu.

Will you be first in the queue for a season ticket the minute they have gone?

Funny there's not many people on here I actually disrespect and disregard but you're one of them.

It's hardly unreasonable to be sceptical as said Cov fan was an integral board member. What if he dug up his pal Uncle Ray to run the club?

As for Elliot no I'm not happy about him having any association with the club.

He'd get his ticking clock out for Kim Jong Il if said dictator promised him a seat on the board.

Try scrutinising what sisu are doing to us first and then try having a bit of hope in someone else.

As I said no one wants them to stay. You're just wasting your own energy trying to make out there are SISU fans behind every bush. I'll let you get on with it.

It's pathetic because it's obvious wasps are drip feeding you with information and its in their financial interests if we are distressed and sign an arrangement with them.

It's pathetic as they don't care what happens to the club as long as that deal is agreed.

It's pathetic as you then say "stick with sisu"

It's pathetic as I stick with CCFC and I stick with them. You still with your bosses - they pull the strings and off you go doing a silly dance on their behalf.

Distressed ? FFS nothing could be worse.
At least give any takeover a chance by slagging off the right people
You seem to have some sort of personal vendetta against anybody that can help.
My only boss is my Mrs but keep peddling the usual uninformed nonsense.

Why do some come out with such ridiculous things. Everyone wants SISU gone.

Read back and see the slimy comments by some about anybody that have shown an interest in buying the club.
If they want Sisu gone it's a funny way to change the situation by slagging off a potential bid without knowing what it is.

I actually mouthed SISU out at the end of the game today, because it was the end of the game.

I'm an occasional poster and haven't read all of this thread, but I've got to say how embarrassing some of this discussion is.
Too many wind-up merchants, egos and argumentative folk all in the mixing pot that just ends up with childish bickering.
It's all a bit bizarre to me when it seems 99% of us want the same thing.
So many things contribute to my feelings on this.
I'm not a big fan of Gilbert - I think how he conducts himself on social media is amateurish and completely unprofessional. I may be being niaive but I don't see Les Reid as a sisu puppet. He obviously takes a different stand point from Gilbert and does hold the council and wasps to account. We all know sisu are the biggest protagonists in this whole sorry saga, but ccc in particular have a lot to answer for.
As for Joe Elliott and Gary Hoffman, surely there can be no doubt in anyone's mind that they ultimately want what's best for the club? I'm sure mistakes have been made in the past and I bet if you ask either or both of them they'd admit it. But for all the crap spoken on here about needing new owners and forcing sisu out, these two are doing something about it - so why do people feel the need to shoot them down so willingly??
I also see lots of falling out on here l, facebook and twitter about whether people should buy season tickets next year or starve sisu out. Personally, I won't pay for a season ticket, that is my stance. There is absolutely nothing to say this is right. People go to football for different reasons, to escape the wife, meet with friends or go because it's a family thing and has been for generations. I've got friends who as a family have had season tickets for 30+ years. The Northampton debacle split them in half, some went and some didn't. Same will happen next season. The older generation of the family go because they love the club, they are getting old and to be frank may not have many years left watching. So in my opinion, none of you have any right to say to them they shouldn't go, or to claim that they are any less of a fan than someone who is boycotting.
Sometimes there is some funny stuff posted on here - occasionally something sensible and insightful... but f**k me, sometimes I read this forum and I am embarrassed to be a Coventry City fan.
We've had years and years of shit. I argued until I was blue in the face with a Chelsea fan friend the other week about why it is fair that there were 43,000 fans at Wembley whilst our average gate is around 8-9k. We had our one day in the sun (and what a day), but that does seem like a distant memory now with all the bickering about takeovers, journalists and whether people shout buy tickets or not.
I enjoyed my day in the sun the other week. I cried at the final whistle because of the feeling of a weight being lifted off my shoulders. Something good had actually happened for the club. A cup win - yes a shit cup, but the chance to celebrate with 43000 other Cov fans who know the pain.
I'm not calling for people to stop arguing, all agree and start a peace and love commune together. I just think that before people get personal or judgmental, have a think. There's no right or wrong, just opinions about this whole f***ing mess. We all agree we want new owners and a new direction, proper fans would be uniting to make this happen - not arguing, name calling and petty point scoring on an Internet forum. 43,000 at Wembley show we can be a proper football club - as fans, let's start acting like one.
Rant over and well done to anyone that read the lot.

Do we have info on what sorta rent deal hoffman has agreed with wasps?

It didn't seem that hard to get a deal agreed did it.
Which blows the bullshit out the window that they are not talking to us so a deal has to be agreed under duress at the last minute.
Or that they are trying to force us out.
Or that they are trying to distress CCFC
What it does show that as most understood, that if you are not dragging them or their main partner into legal disputes. They will do business with you.

They need the club to do a deal. Of course it's not hard if you want to sign something - depends if they something benefits one party or the other doesn't it?

Depends who the investors actually are as well I'd have thought.
