He's a Yankie - not a wanker. And Mother Theresa? Please we can't afford more charity.
It would appear the principal activity of the SISU apologists this morning is frantically Googling a chap they'd never heard of before breakfast, to latterly convince themselves, then others, that he's a wanker. It could have been Mother Theresa of Calcutta, back from the dead with a winning lottery-ticlet and there'd still be a problem
Especially if it has the seal of quality that is Teflon Joe attached to it.
Well, Mother Theresa was a bit of a c-unit, so wouldn't wish her on us.
Seems the same who slavishly loved Sisu with no questions at all for years are preparing to do the same with anybody else.

I'd be over the moon to get a new owner but surely faced with admin and losing a packet the stubborn hedge fund will miraculously stumble across the required back dated debt monies. Either way if we are still stuck with SISU come the summer I'll be gutted !
Here was me thinking we are already run by cowboys !!
This!
We have to remember his part in bringing in sisu! Or should we just forget the history?
Just received this reply re Haskell IV from Leeds Trust - he tried to take over Leeds last year.
"Very rich man, even richer father.
Very much thought to be Mr Bates favourite in the long fought saga to buy Leeds last year and has a family history of friendship with Bates however as we know he didn’t manage to beat GFHC.
I spoke to his team and they seemed to understand what was needed to rebuild a club that perhaps had seen better days and I don’t think money is a problem for them.
Coventry should be excited if its true."
Only bit that worries me is the friendship with Bates part!!
Or to re-phrase, people are prepared to give (possible) new owners a chance to be judged on their actions.
Doesn't sound totally unreasonable does it?
Oh and how can JE be "Teflon" if you hold him responsible for so much? Bit of a contradiction?
Well, Mother Theresa was a bit of a c**t, so wouldn't wish her on us.

I don't see much unconditional acceptance. A touch. I see more unconditional rejection of an individual most on here hadn't even heard of before their Crunchy Nut Cornflakes
Just find it amusing that the same stuff I used to bring up 5 years ago about the views of a judge on Seppalla, how Sisu operated with companies, Ranson's previous failures to get anybody to fall for his blandishments(Man City, Villa, Southampton) etc, were suddenly discovered as "new" facts by people like MMM in the last 18 months or so.
If that's true, and I'll indulge your self-grandiose proclamation of foreword vision fo a moment; surely you should have an open mind to any new investor, if you were so balanced and accurate in your appraisal of SISU?
Not rejecting anything or anybody, have an open mind.
Try it some time.

A millionaire is no good to us - we need to be thinking big time - we need a billionaire!!!
If come next season we start on -25 pt I will be gutted!
There is a link online that says he's a billionaire but I couldn't find his net worth
http://www.timeslive.co.za/entertainment/article832089.ece/The-party-to-end-all-parties
Few paragraphs down it says billionaire
Why is it important if he's a millionaire or billionaire?
If he has the money to take over the club and ACL that should be enough for us.
He aint going to pour tens of mio into the playing squad anyway ... the FFP prevents that.
I'm sure there are indirect ways of putting money into the club, for instance shirt sponsorship and if the ground is part of the deal perhaps naming rights on the stadium.

The Father is probably a Billionair, he is based in Florida, his sone is running the Moscow side of the company but he probably only a Millionair.
Think this has leaked as was not supposed to go public till after Friday, just hope its not going to go all flat on us.
So in reality you want a sugardaddy and to Hell with financial stability?

No, did not know myself who it was till this Morning but have been checking the family out and contacted some people in Florida I deal with.
