They can't. It is to mislead people and get them worked up for when somebody's takeover attempt is announced.
It is all part of a PR plan
What's getting people worked up going to do though?

Get people singing only one Gary Hoffman when it's said that he can save the club and give them a home and the club should be handed to him, for example

Don't people realise that it's the most pointless exercise though considering SISU aren't bothered what the fans think or say? This whole campaign is a complete waste of time as it's just not how business works. Gary Hoffman isn't an idiot (obviously), he knows this as well. It's just clear to me that his 'bid' is just self-publicity and I'd actually go as far to say that he enjoys this. He's created an image of himself that he's a knight in shining armour saving the club from the abyss and fans are falling for it.
Besides SISU doing something illegal, no entity/governing body or individual has the power to remove SISU apart from SISU. It's baffling how people fail to understand this.

Because the local press and fans group mislead them into thinking it.
It has been obvious for weeks.

It's sad that the CT and others create this illusion. This IMO is where the Sky Blue Trust has failed its supporters especially, as its failed to educate the majority.

Potential to write down intangible assets but I haven’t looked at the accounts. Won’t make a difference to the P&L performance of the business on asset base alone, though the reduction in turnover from being expelled would impact hugely.
On an asset basis the club is as good as worthless anyway, that’s why only fruitcakes get involved in football.

Their P&L would improve, as CCFC lose money. In terms of SISU won't there "turnover" just be the profit or loss from each investment, not the sales of the investment itself?
As a hedge fund, doesn't the asset value matter as it is a measure of the size of the fund, and that is important to attracting new clients?
Your last point begs an obvious "why" question. But obviously at the top, Glaziers & Liverpool's owners it is commercially successful by their own lights

I misunderstood your point it seems. They’d be looking at it from a return-on-investment basis if indeed they are still interested in the financial performance at all. For the outlay they make there’s nothing that they take back in, so ROI is non-existent on a short-term basis. That’s why you have people making the argument about SISU wanting to get the club to a point where they own a stadium (or a long lease), have good working relationships, etc as this is the only way to give a realistic long-term ROI strategy.
Others think that we are a loss-maker to write down their tax liabilities. I’m not so sure on that, but can see that angle as well.
Anyway, to answer your question, if the right to play in the EFL was removed (following natural assumptions):
- assets decrease if there’s any intangibles relating to league status
- liabilities remain
- turnover falls
- costs fall
Whether the turnover decrease outweighs the cost decrease I wouldn’t have a clue, but likelihood is this would lead us to being even more unlikely to generate a ROI either short-term or long-term.

Good to see that not one single reply to that tweet supports him. People are starting to see through him.

So the alternative is we do nothing and accept whats happening, roll over and take it.
The Blackpool fans never gave up and they finally got their club back from shit owners. I do wonder sometimes if our city and our fan base have a lie down and die attitude when it comes to standing up against the powers to be making poor decisions

Blackpool was nothing to do with their fans.
Another bit of misinformation so people can pat backs.

Not the reaction he was hoping for at all. Just sounds so up himself posting that kind of crap.

This shows the desperation even more. He will support him as they are mates from their cov ladies days
We now have both him and the telegraph trying to get people worked up at robins.
The sooner they all get seen for what they are, the better!

Exactly.
That clown is working his way through people to alienate and agendas are shining through. I'm sure it will all come out over time.
They are desperate because more people are saying others are to blame as well as sisu.

Absolute drivel. The Blackpool scenario had nothing to do with the fans.
