I'd be worried if people didn't see it coming. - Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?
Odds on "only one Gary Hoffman" on Saturday?

They will go back in with an improved bid. Nobody accepts a first offer....or a 5th it seems....

It is almost like we have gone back in time.

You've got to give them credit for trying, there already offering stupid money for basically a few contracts and a training ground!

Them turning this down literally gives us no hope of them leaving at all
Such a shame, our future would be secured at the ricoh and we'd actually have money to spend on players too!

if they were serious they wouldn't snitch and moan to general public
listened to a podcast last year with a super agent and he mentioned he has put 2 consortium in touch with sisu over buying ccfc and both times offers were rejected. but he said these bidders left it at that and moved on to other clubs. thats serious business people.
if hoffman wants cov.stay quiet. put a new bid in

At the very least it’s an olive branch to start productive talks on a takeover

The trouble is as much as we all want them to go Sisu will never look to sell the club for 7 million. Also adding that they can keep Wilson money is not really an incentive. Given his injury record he could do his knee again between now and the end of the season and there goes any money for him so that would essentially be 5 mil down the drain. I honestly don’t think they will sell for less than 14/15 mil cash upfront.

Where would that money be coming from? The hallmarks of a Hoffman offer is promising SISU payment of future income, add in accepting any old offer to stay at the Ricoh and funds will be a lot tighter than they are now. Maybe we can get a Wonga loan off his mate Ranson.

Easily 14/15! Rekon anyone would be willing to put that money upfront though?
In the same period:
WASPS say no deal and
Duggins says no deal and 2 fingers to Parliament
Sounds like 3 more members of the consortium ?

She won’t talk to them. Surely you of all people would expect that as a minimum? Given how upset you were at the prospect of the council being unwilling to accept SISU’s olive branch, which they’ve now accepted so I’m sure you’re having an enjoyable day

The difference there is that the council wanted the legals dropped and for CCFC to play in Coventry, apparently
That's why your comparison doesn't work.
Let's just see if people are as bothered about CCFC being distressed as they were ACL

And remember Johnson slipped out about being able to play at the Ricoh if it wasn't SISU, trust meetings with the council that they weren't allowed to report on and notes in the trust board meeting minutes to get updates from Hoffman. They're all in it together and it will play out just as it did the last time they attempted it.

Yeah, of course the council meeting SISU and calling them out is a good sign.
All we need now is Wasps to put a deal on the table, and SISU dropping the legals and all in all it would be good.
Can’t really trust Hoffman’s judgement given that he came with SISU and believed Dale Evans... anything keeping him away from the club is good
If "all in it together" as a stitch up what can be done - "there's the rub" as someone once wrote

I would be happy for someone senior from SISU to speak to them. However when your previous offer was described as derisory you really need to come back with something significantly improved, not just a promise of a few quid if Wilson leaves Bournemouth.She won’t talk to them.

The difference is the legals as far as we know haven’t been dropped yet the council has still entertained SISU pretending that they’re going to build a stadium again.
That’s why the comparison doesn’t work.
Maybe a consortium should pretend that they want to buy the club. That way Joy might entertain them. Where’s Dinsah when you need him.

All the council have really said is they will do the minimum required of them by law. Maybe go back and have a look at Wasps application for Higgs and see how much assistance the council gave them.

I don’t get your agenda sometimes Nick.
What outcome would you like?

If the council and London Wasps want rid of sisu then the best they can do is help get CCFC into a position where they would attract larger bids.
