But he's a Cov fan! And possibly knows bankers! And Joe Elliott!
That's all I need to hear!
Oh and anyone who thinks we are in a worse position at the moment, than any other we have been in, have very short memories.
What also grinds my gears is the 'CCFC Legend Fan' status Joe Elliott has seemingly been elevated.
No I havent a short memory, just cant think of anthing much worse than this, apart from the day SISU took over, and look how well that has turned out.
Do you therefore feel we are much further forward now under their stewardship?
You could tell from the off that Hoffman was full of it, brown nosing the fans by going in the away ends at pre season friendlies and being a media whore for the last three months, if you were serious about investing in the club you'd shut up and let the process happen naturally.
Moff, first of all, thats twice you've mis read my posts and seemingly put me under the 'SISU apologists' category. Like I have mentioned, why can't I be wary of both parties? Why must I either be a SISU apologist or a Gary Hoffman supporter?
On the pitch we are in the same position we have been in for the last 8 or 9 years. Off the pitch, I fail to see how we aren't in the same state we have been for the last 8 or 9 years.
When SISU came in, we were in a dreadful position. That dreadful position had degenerated ever since relegation.
As for on the pitch, I still have nightmares of that season under McAllister where (if I remember correctly) we won 1 out of our last 21 games and had £0 to bring in any players as McAllister built a team around himself and youth which was painstakingly depressing.
AJSCCFC.
I'm firmly with you on this one.
Garry Hoffman is a city fan, and his intentions and desire is to see the Football Club rise from the ashes of years of neglect and mediocrity.
Clearly Sisu are not in the least concerned about our fortunes on the pitch, they are not Football fans, let alone CCFC fans, and in fact refuse to call it a football club, continually refering to it as "The Business" a business they took over, and gained total holding of by holding a gun to the head of many, life time, small shareholders, some of who'm had held shares going back generations.
These honest, loyal, Coventry supporters, were put in an impossible position, and had to yield to the threat of Sisu pulling out and The sky blues going under.
what a cruel and vicious mill stone to place round the necks
of people who had given support to the City over the years.
They were in fact, mugged of their shares by Hoods from the City, who thought mistakenly, that the club could be turned round with minimum investment in the playing Side of things.
Sisus miscomprehension of the situation, has left us where we are today, an underfunded club, with a dangeriously thin squad, nestling in the drop zone.
Garry Hoffman may not be everyones cup of tea for various reasons, yes its difficult to love a multi millionaire banker, but I believe his connection to the club as a fan, Like geoff Robinson, has got to make his ownership a better bet for the future of this Football Club.
we've tried the DEvil..Lets give the deep blue Sea a chance.
Have a nice day....Tankie..Bedworthshire..
Opposing view alert! Don't discuss, just attack!
That's what's thick. Somebody saying something that isn't completely in line with the rabble being greeted with 'you must be on the board!!! wanker!!!' is a recurring example.
to quote hibbert. If Sisu go it wouldn't be admin, it would be liquidation. In simple terms, Coventry City football club will no longer exsist,
Not about agreeing with or disagreeing, as we have prospective buyers and who knows who else might be interested if in admin, is this a sensible statement? ( I mean Hibberts )
No longer exhist?! Take a look at what Coventry Football Club is in it's current form. It's a squad of players. Full stop. That's it! Coventry will always have a football club and they will always have the stadium to play in due to the fact the club don't own it. If we actually went into liquidation we will only lose a squad of players worthy of league 1. Wow! With our fan base and support we would do a Wimbledon.

Yep - and we could even be back to where we are now in about ... eh ... 20 years time?
Right, well Wimbledon took 9 years to get back to the football league or was you massively exagerating for effect? What have Coventry City done in that 9 years?

Think of it this way, SISU don't run Coventry city they back the vehicle that does, the people who attended the meeting were the ones that will run the club rather than the money men. I think this has pissed clouting and tango man off bcos they want to counter propose a deal that would keep them in there jobs. Tango man has spent years trying to be a football chairman so why would he now want to give that up.
Liquidation talk is bollocks
Liquidation would realise nothing for SISU and creditors
Admin, would mean that an investor who came up with a sum greater than the separate parts - could buy the club
As the separate parts, are worth about £2.50 - The club would be taken over for a figure greater than that from Admin (subject to agreement ) - and anything is better than nothing, so liquidation would not happen
Everyone keeps banging on about losing £500K per month losses ...... well we were to 31/05/10 (in round terms) but since then we have been cutting costs and the write down of player contracts is smaller. So logic says current losses should not be £500k.
In PR terms it is a double edged sword....... we are losing £500k ........... but on the plus side SISU are supporting the clubs finances. Makes SISU look better doesnt it.
But until the accounts for 2011 etc are released we dont know the real figures. However the SBS&L group made £6m losses in 2010 and in that year the debt to SISU grew £700K - kind of implies they dont fund all the losses doesnt it. As always smoke and mirrors at the Ricoh
