I'm a Dickens aficionado.
In fairness, you could argue that Cov City council vs Cov City FC is a tale of two cities

We could end up in a Uriah Heep of trouble if we're not careful.


I'll see myself out.

He now has 3 backers, a bid has been made and awaiting SISU's response.
Also a deal has been sorted on the ground, and they're looking at replacing Ryton with a state of the art facility.

Don't shoot the messenger, it's what I've seen on FB..

Imagine it's all true, some people will look and feel pathetic wouldn't they?

People are backing him or he's joined up with them?

He has been and met with Wasps already too to sort a deal?

Seems a bit extreme for less than a week's work.

He posted on Facebook today that he was trying to get in touch with CWR to give an update, not sure if he was on.

I'd love to see it happen. I'd be absolutely overjoyed to get new owners. BUT, there's something that's holding me back from being able to. Maybe it's the experience of what's happened before with rumoured takeovers. We hear a lot from people, but nothing ever happens. I'd absolutely love to see new owners. It'd certainly feel like a new beginning after all this mess. If it happens, I'll be delighted. But until anything official is announced, I just can't get my hopes up.

Looks like it's going to be the same as when kcic bid for the club with a front man.

This is what he posted under an hour ago.

Best of luck to him!

Why does he feel the need to discuss it?
Bizzare.
If you are doing it just do it.
I wouldn’t talk to anyone till it’s done.
Just business acumen to start with.
Highly unlikely but say someone else was watching CCFC waiting for us to lose value year by year. Waiting for the right moment. You might kick them into life and bring yourself unwanted competition.
Shut up and put up I say.

I really don't know what to make of all of this. Is this guy for real or not.

Anyway proof is in the pudding. My only thoughts are that the consortium of 4 must be linked up with Hoffman and Elliott and 1 other.

I don't for one minute believe he is fronting any offer or have any business accumen for such negotiations.

If this is for real he is just offering some funds towards this. He won't be the brains behind this possible bid.

Patience is a virtue, we've endured 10 years of SISU, we can wait that little longer to see if this is the real deal or not.

By the way, since he's been on social media with his claims about buying the club, his wife, his own parents and friends have received a lot of shit through private messages, some of them damn right fucking disgusting, no way would a husband and father put his family through all that, just for a prank. I have quite a few friends who know him and I trust their judgement, he's serious about buying this club.

Is it because they think he is on the wind up and if so what the fuck does that have to do with his parents and wife.
That’s they annoying thing about social media and here is a great example people say a lot when they type.

Even if it was a wind up, I don't agree with his wife etc getting hassle for it. That's when it crosses the line.

To be fair though, your judgement has been proven wrong a fair few times when it comes to takeovers ;)

Exactly, and this guy has put himself all through that to wind people up? No chance at all. Let's all wait and see, if an offer is in, the club will have to respond.

If we had listened we would have been taken over multiple times by now. "this week is going to be a great week" or something like that.
Yep and that was before the bid came in, then the bid became public didn't it? So I wasn't wrong ;) Not my fault SISU said no...

Not really if you are willing to speak to people and treat them correctly you can get lots done.

Same in the work place treat people properly and you are more likely to get what you want, treat them like shit and that is what you are likely to get.

The problem for you Nick is you speak to usernames, whilst I talk to real named people in the real world. I'm just another human who passes on any information regarding CCFC, nothing gained or nothing lost when I do pass info on too.

The only thing I would say Duff. Is if it had done it all on the QT. Which is what I would have done. Then nobody close to him would have got abused. Plus it is better for him to do it that way.
Not that I am excusing the idiots who use social media to abuse people.

It still doesn't alter that you were coming on telling everybody it was going to be a good week and were wrong , hence I said I will take your judgement with a pinch of salt.

It's amazing you are a mind reader though so you know who speaks to who. At least you have started thinking for yourself recently though ;)

Don't get me wrong, if he takes over and is putting out CCFC press releases in the form of Facebook Meme's I will still be down there week in week out as I am now :)

this is from FB from one of Dale's friends and Dale has replied with PUSB.

"Sisu have verbally accepted an offer..."

So that means a SISU statement tomorrow saying no contact has been made then?

If he's now one of four, that is clearly where he should have taken this in the first place. He jumped the gun coming on CWR and getting carried away with his claims.

If he had just gone to Hoffman in the first place and THEN posted the message that he has posted tonight, he would get a lot less shit from people.

Friday was inaccurate and some of it just not true. Think he let his exuberance get the better of him.

It sounds like it is the same sort of thing as the Hoffman deal but he is just doing it direct himself on FB rather than leaking it to others.

There seems to be a gang who apparently are in the know. Possibly just friends.

From pricks who seem to think they are the only ones to have been kicked from pillar to post over the past years. You know, the ones who claim to be city die hards but will normally never be found anywhere near the stadium .
Wankers , the lot of them.
