Ccfc your version of events seems far more credible. Selling half the squad all of which bar keogh will attract very little in transfer fees and still wanting to own the club is pure folly.
Of course something like 7 players could move on come the summer, there's 4 or 5 out of contract for a start and there will be some want to stay in a higher division. As for this Hoffman show us the money etc, he's a business man at the top fo his trade, world renowned in the banking world and has worked for the Government by invitation, is in the process of setting up a new major bank aswell. Nothing will be revealed until all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed. He certainly ain't going to reveal anything to us plebs on a poxy website.
I think, as frustrating as it is, no news is good news and the announcement the other week that SISU were prepared to talk significant.
Also it has been stated many times it isn't Hoffman buying the club, it's others rumoured to be from the far east but we'll have to see on that one, but that would make negotiations that more difficult i would think and may not even take place in this country. Hoffman is a city fanatic just like many on here and i believe will have looked into any investor/investors thoroughly, and those on here who constantly remind us of the fact he was once on the board, so what, he resigned because of the way SISU were starting to run the club, his club, do you blame him ?
7 could go but they wont. only two our out of contract?
Thought Platt was too ? and Herriduson ?sorry three- eastwood, clinghan and cranie.
I've been told at work by a guy who is friends with ken deluded that the meeting was to tell AT that 7 more players are to go. He also said that the takeover was nowhere near being done. So this thread is indeed very accurate. Not good news at all
I heard basically the original post on Wednesday night too. I took it with a pinch of salt but believe its the type of thing that is highly likely with these owners in charge. Time to step up the SISU out revolt. PUSB
Or maybe ... just maybe ... all these rumors are planted to upset the fan base to revolt against the owners.
In that case, they are working just fine.

And they say it is women who like to gossip OSB! Just imagine what it would be like if we had a few on here......we accuse the club and owners of lack of transparency ............ yet all the time it is quite clear they conduct all their business in public telling any tom dick or harry what is going on :facepalm: ........... with respect (expecially to cc4l who did qualify his post from the off) all this my mate told me , he said she said, a source in the club etc etc really doesnt help ........... but i suppose thats what forums are for - chit chat
I posted the rumour that Thorn would be sacked after being summoned by SISU the other day. Later that day, I heard that the thinking was that Thorn would be sacked, but he was in fact told precisely what the original poster said.
If you go back and check, I did not categorically state it was fact and said that I get no pleasure from winding up fellow Cov fans. I just passed on what I heard. Later that day, I heard what the original poster here said. So, it was not all bollocks and it was not my fault (although it was untrue and I was to blame). I hope my reputation on this fine forum can stand up to this scrutiny, I will not pass on what I hear again.
*Edit - if I have to explain my joke, it will highlight its ineptitude but 'it was not all bollocks and it was not my fault (although it was untrue and I was to blame)' was a joke, in case I am just that bit too subtle. *
I'm glad you pointed that out. I've never been very good with "subtle".
I wouldn't worry about reputations on here.
I thought this was pretty far fetched untill today when my teacher said he knows Sam Thorne (Andys son) and said the exact same thing. Apparently Thorne thought he was going to get sacked and SISU said they are keeping him because they can't afford to sack him....
Salt. Pinch. etc, etc.
Sharing this sort of info on a forum doesn't always sit easy. If you do have a decent source, it is not prudent to name them. If you share the info freely, it could even scupper situations (think about the range of feelings when Keys has a tweet about what he knows). The least concerning is that you are wrong and people on a forum think you are a mug. I suppose the best foot forward is just to reaffirm what we categorically know...
SISU are in charge of our football club.
SISU have invested and want to recoup at least some of their losses.
SISU have appeared unwilling to sell the Club to a consortium set up by Hoffman.
All that this 'rumour' has done, is re-affirm that. I can only talk about the way it was put to me... because I wholeheartedly believe the source, I was dejected, unsurprised and ever more unflappable in my wish that SISU leave Coventry City Football Club as soon as possible.

so a child went into school and told everyone that his Dad told him he thought he was going to get sacked.... a school in the Chestershire area we are talking now?
This storys getting better and better.....:thinking about:
no actually, it was a teacher who's involved with the academy but cheers for that attempt of humour mate
