Sky Blues will discuss KCIC Ricoh Rent offer (2 Viewers)

[wince]

I spoke to the club earlier and they have tried to call michael all day. He won't pick up apparently.

Also Hoffman is the man behind the bid

Who at the club did you speak to

[Nick]

Think that Michael has been used by people who should know better.

Don't think that anybody doubts Michael's dedication to KCIC, and has had some spectacular successes with some of his campaigns.

Obvious choice for a (generally) non-partizan figurehead that pretty much everybody could get behind.

Shamefully, it looks like he's now been left high and dry by his backers when it comes to getting to nitty gritty detail, and he's left whistling in the wind.

I just hope that Michael is ok, as he's taken a lot on himself with this, with little or no real back-up from what i can see.

These "mystery businessmen" should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree but if that is the case I hope Michael can just say what's happened rather than just take the burden while these backers hide away.

Yeah I wouldn't want michael been used as a fall guy for a failed deal

 

[duffer]

The club said they would meet with Michael. As Michael posted earlier, Labovitch isn't in Coventry this week and wants to sort something out next week. They have tried to call him but he won't answer. There is nothing for me to broker. Michael just needs to answer his phone to the club and a meeting is scheduled. It could even be done by text or email probably

Fair enough - let's hope that this gets back on track then.

 

[Samo]

Really... you could not fucking make it up!

 

[Kingokings204]

It's like watching or listening in this case to eastenders.

Make a call and/or answer then meet next week.

Deal Noel

If you read Michaels post I think he is saying they want a meeting not a phone call. Ive met TF,JS and Ml they have taken the time to meet me Ive got no significant finance,I cant influence people so why cant they meet Michael?

 

[Nick]

I couldn't possibly, stop harassing him etc.

Ps who was it?

 

[Bennets Afro]

No biggy was Labovitch. Happy?

 

[Nick]

So he can't speak on the phone before meeting? I'm sure you spoke to somebody on the phone before meeting up?

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

So he can't speak on the phone before meeting? I'm sure you spoke to somebody on the phone before meeting up?

Unless he has misunderstood them which to be fair you can understand if ML is involved.

 

[Bennets Afro]

I can't see what the issue is. They want to meet / talk. Just get on with it. Answer the phone. Write an email. Sort it out and let's see where it goes

 

[Nick]

Might just need to clear that up

hes not the club

If you start talking to a chocolate biscuit, they tend to lock you up...

 

[Bennets Afro]

hes not the club

He is on the board of the club and he is the one who would be meeting michael.

Who is the club then other then the fans?

in the corner with the others

 

[Bennets Afro]

Winner! Ha!

 

[italiahorse]

you slate grendel yet he is also saying 'make the call'.
As for people being full of their own importance, is it not you that comes on here every five minutes to declare the cessation of your support, because sisu might see it and bring the club home?

It's not me who keeps bringing it up, it's skyblue talks very own Jock Ewing. I'm just defending myself.

 

[James Smith]

This sounds very positive and I really hope this brings the good news we all want which is a return to our home, Coventry. Well done Michael for getting this far and I will keep my fingers crossed.

 

[Samo]

So to clarify;
The club are made the offer, (well done Michael for finally making some progress, its way more than I or many others have done) they decide it may be worth some consideration and release a statement saying they are prepared to talk. They call Michael who will not answer because some people involved in the offer have been 'once bitten' re phone contact. Michael states on SBT that he wants a meeting and not a phone call and we return to stalemate. Is that right? Because I can hardly believe what I have just typed. How can we fail with this new spirit of trust and openness. Jesus fucking christ on a bike!

You forgot the bit where Grendel offers to act as middle man for the middle man...

 

[Samo]

Oh yes, that was a good bit too!

 

[skybluetony176]

How many posters have you said that to now.

So everyone who disagrees with you is less of a fan then you.

You really need to get off that high horse of yours.

I bet it ain't that high. Grendull seems to have a very bad case of little man syndrome.

 

[Samo]

Still calling him 'Grendull' like some 10 year old playground bully then?

 

[shmmeee]

Hang on, is Michael refusing to take the call now? FFS! Forget anything else, let's not have another ridiculous reason this doesn't go through. (Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick here).

I think (though could be wrong) this particular line of pettiness comes about from G's own petty name calling.

It's like Lost tracing the sarcasm and in jokes on here.

The constant shit-endings to anything are certainly Lost-like.

No grendull is a name given by astute. Tony having no original concept of thought has copied it.

 

[Grendel]

The offer is serious. A phone call to establish interest with some prior briefing documents is all that is required.

We a know what's gone on here. In the same way certain people hawked an American around they have now used Michael for their own ends.

It's disgusting.

 

[skybluetony176]

Forget the why can't Michael answer the phone. Why can't ML send an email? Presumably if it's in black and white it's harder to spin into someone else's fault if nothing happens and he can't use the old "I was misquoted" line.

Bollocks to having a go at Michael if ML is serious send the fooking email and stop pulling everyone's chain.

I really really hope you are wrong G

The line is often used around here that well, what are you doing to help?

So it would be nice if your offer were taken in good faith. There is an impasse, and here is a way around that impasse.

 

[Bennets Afro]

Like I said earlier Hoffman is pulling the strings on this deal.

I really hope Michael is not being messed around and being put into the firing line
