The wonderful symbiotic relationship between journos desperate for content and grifters desperate for attention.

The closest we'll ever get to perpetual motion on this earth.

30 mill according to Gilbert's morning interview with Phil Upton

30mill, which probably was for 100% of the club. The chance of getting somewhere near that but retaining 15% ownership tickled sisu's balls.

What about the proposed 50/50 deal with the American's to go for the stadium.
Wasn't that during this alleged exclusivity period too?

TBF it’s only @Saddlebrains who ever mentioned that.

 

[Sick Boy]

Is Hoffman connected to his 'bid' then?!

 

[better days]

Well after reading that how is anybody giving this Walter Mitty character any air time

Interesting that David Sullivan is involved
Some of his close associates are notorious criminals

 

[Nick]

Thought he owned some of West Ham?

Exactly, notorious criminals.

West Ham owner's £1m loan to crime boss

Multi-millionaire Hammers chief David Sullivan has been linked to a man accused of leading a gang involved in fraud, money-laundering and 'extreme violence'

What a board of directors what exactly would Mark Hateley bring to the table? If it’s the ex player thing then so was Michael McIndie and nobody would want him even though he was creative with the numbers.

Coincidentally I’m just listening to a Mark Hateley interview on “Open Goal”.

Don’t know when it’s recorded but he’s wearing a cap indoors so maybe it’s just after he’s been to Turkey to get some stuck in.

I also read Lee Sharpe’s book where he calls Hateley “Topper” - you know the type - if you’ve been to Tenerife then he’s been to Elevenerife, if you’ve got a black cat then his is blacker or if he hasn’t got a cat then his brother did and that was blacker.

Just at the bit on the interview where he is going on about his £1.5m transfer to Milan (thought it was 900k).

Hateley comes across as really knowledgeable and astute to be fair and totally bigs himself up and I can imagine coming across to investors as “The Man”.

But with this Storey fella it could just as well all be BS and he’s never spoken to Hateley just remembers him from his Panini album.

 

[Robinshio]

a bit like when Jojar was about to announce Gerard Houllier as our next manager

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Dave Bennett running hospitality.

If I wasn't sceptical about this guy already, then whole Director of Football bollocks would have definitely pushed me over the edge.

Have they ever been anything but a disaster?

Do we really want to change what Robins has going on, or worse, piss him off?

Trish Adudu on BBC CWR - Coventry City: William Storey still wants to buy Sky Blues - BBC Sounds

William Storey speaks to BBC CWR's Simon Gilbert about his desire to complete CCFC deal.

t.co

That interview just sounds like he's just got the Coventry City Wikipedia open in front of him.

FFS, who is going to next be in line to show interest? The Tinder Swindler?

 

[Danceswithhorses]

'Keith Who-chen'...imho, that mispronunciation alone means he knows nothing about football, but especially our club.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

This could get messy if Storey follows through with his claims. Forget Robins getting any money in Jan.

I didn't expect he'd get any anyway

 

[shmmeee]

Why?

 

[chiefdave]

what does he gain by dragging this through the courts? they can't force a sale to him so what's his best outcome, that he gets a few quid back? not worth the effort is it if he really is loaded.

Tbh from my initial checks I'd say that Storey is a front for money laundering
It reminds me of a guy who has the same associates

This whole business makes little sense to me. Why on earth would SISU have signed an exclusivity deal with him, or anyone else for that matter? If SISU were prepared to sell up surely they could have brokered a better deal by publicly stating the club were for sale and setting up bidders against each other to create a higher price!

 

[fernandopartridge]

He isn't going anywhere near court really, is he? I'm not sure what the point of Gilbert asking a commercial lawyer to speculate over it is

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Five minutes of airtime filled on local radio. Anyway, said lawyer was doing his best to show his contempt of Storrey in his tone of voice, even if he couldn't call him a bullshitting cock on air!

He’s an attention seeker. Nothing more nothing less.

@slowpoke what's the latest from your man on this?

Because buyers don’t want a bidding war and you have to spend your time filtering out all the mentals and @duffer

 

[Deleted member 5849]

and you have to spend your time filtering out all the mentals

Seems to have worked beautifully in that respect...

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Would we put it past SISU to have engineered this entire scenario?

A 'takeover' and stadium bid from a SISU associate the day before Mike Ashley gets the arena and then engineer a reason for it not to happen.

It’s just nonsense

Sisu couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery let alone have several million/billionaires and the local media on strings.

Hateley was a Lounge guest of the FPA fairly recently which I thought at the time seemed odd as he hasn’t been around before. Harry Roberts was quite starstruck by him.

So was I… think I tried to get him in a drunken headlock at one stage.

 

[CDK]

Get storey to back his mouth up and show us all this pre contract that sisu and him that's signed in print on here the CET or twitter if he won't what's he hiding .If he won't I suggest he crawls back under his rock from wherest he came.

 

[Amcoventry]

When is Dale Evans getting involved??
