Does make you wonder how it would be if it was say Prince Abdul from Iran wanting to meet her?

 

[torchomatic]

Good to hear him say he doesn't care who we play. I feel the same. It's my team and I will support them regardless of which league we happen to be in.

 

[RegTheDonk]

wise move to not to take digs at sisu. impressed with that interview

Yes, he did admit to he's not seen in a good light by some, something like that, though you're right he was very quick to say he's not digging at SISU....he also said something like no animosity, lets put the past behind us etc.

 

[covcity4life]

will joy ever even hear of this interview though? lol

 

[ajsccfc]

If he's come across as professional and taken no snipes while also confirming he's still giving it his best shot it's as good as it could have gone short of confirming a bid has been accepted. Fingers crossed.

 

[Esoterica]

I'm softening towards him the more I hear him talk but I'm sceptical why this is now being played out in public. Desperation? Trying to turn the screw on Joy? Trying to attract further investors?

who can blame him if it is desperation? sisu as murphy said are stubborn and do not want to sell and do not want to make us successful either.

I would suspect its being played in public is because Sisu wont talk so maybe tring to jerk them a little

 

[clint van damme]

Is that confirmed, or a wind up?

wind up!!

Pressure. Hopefully to drag SISU from the shadows*.

(*Shadows sounds more dark for them than plush London offices)

 

[clint van damme]

Everything crossed.
To be rid of SISU and to stop the incessant bitching and arguing on the site would be a wonderful thing!

don't get your hopes up that sisu going will stop the bitching and arguing.

Wishful thinking

Unlikely Nick.....

Iran is a theocracy embedded in an Islamic Republic. Any semblance of monarchy flew the roost in 1979's popular uprising.....

That is very precise!

I just meant if somebody other than Hoffman rocked up with a screenshot of a big bank account, would she meet with them?

I'm a little unclear, are they or aren't they in the market for an ailing football club?

No.

They offered an oil field in the Persian gulf, but Joy turned it down.....

 

[shy_tall_knight]

anyone see that programme on ISIS last night and why they hate the French so much

Is it anything to do with selling Vincelot?

 

[bawtryneal]

I like Hoffman but why go on Talksport and discuss ongoing negotiations which will only wind SISU up.

 

[shy_tall_knight]

Is it anything to do with selling Vincelot?

No but a fascinating insight into their mindset and drawing parallels with the West and also Napoleon's activities in Egypt

Can't see that making them anything other than more entrenched.

 

[stevefloyd]

They are probably the definition of entrenchment

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Is there anywhere I can listen back to the interview?

 

[covcity4life]

will be uplaoded to talksport website listen again section in hour or so

 

[Covstu]

As much as I love it from a fans perspective, it isn't really the usual way to conduct deals. Deals are normally highly confidential which just leads to the point that these discussions are still one way. I pray he can get a deal worth considering but I just cannot see any of these deals being attractive to them.

Live: Gary Hoffman tells Talksport about CCFC takeover plan not sure if this link will play there but it won't play here

 

[stevefloyd]

got it to play

 

[Monners]

Been out for a run. Has there been a 4th bid yet? :happy:

 

[Mcbean]

they have employed Diane Abbot as a consultant on the numbers clearly

 

[clint van damme]

just listened and thought he came across well.

 

[Suffolk sky blues]

I was invited to the Wednesday v Huddersfield match last night and was told by a SWFC Director that he had heard a deal was close to completion by Mr Hoffman and friends.
SISU want out he said but will play hard ball to the end and squeeze out every penny. But Mr Hoffman is the only bid in town and they all know that. Interesting times.

Makes sense as Tim fisher is a mad Sheffield Wednesday fan.

I'm a mad Coventry City fan but I've never spoken to any of the directors. If you read the post it suggests that the SWFC director got their info from Hoffman.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Like others, I thought Hoffman came across quite well. I don't think I've ever heard him speak before, I like the lack of that university / corporate accent, he sounds very Cov. I'm in.

 

[ccfcway]

just listened to it. Personally, I thought he spoke very well and he doesn't appear to be giving up !
