That was announced in October (possibly so that he could fully concentrate on his EPL role).he is also standing down from his role as chairman at the Coventry Building Society as well!

And you know he will get another top job anytime he wants one, probably earns more in one year than most of his detractors do in twenty, not bad for someone who is useless.Many ways of looking at this isn't there.
Leant on by Govt to approve deal .
Greedy prem overlords etc.
Been having trouble filling senior roles, revenge of other hugely bankrolled envious competitor',revenge of big six ESL members who were fined.
I mean if you read the article there is comment supportive but a lone voice .
Doubt he's as useless as some love to make out.
So much bitterness in Coventry people,no generosity of heart or mind.
Not sure why people slate Hoff.
If we were to ever totally implode as a club, go into admin, fall out of League whatever - he is the one person with the connections and conviction to step in.
I’d rather have him as a fan than slate him.
Totally agree with you mate – Why do people it seems to get jealous when one of our own who came from a working class family does well in life – particularly as he has sky blue blood running through his veinsNot sure why people slate Hoff.

He's obviously got ability in his chosen field. There's a blind spot with us however, and his judgement of who to go in with is always catastrophically poor!
Starts with SISU and Ranson (was vice chairman, don't forget), continues pairing up with Elliot (if ever there's somebody who if they say someone's an excellent custodian for the club, you should run a mile), continues with Haskell (who even ACL's preferred administrator suggested never had the means to make a successful go of club and ground), and caps off with Dale Evans, which was rare genius really!He might have a limited net of who is willing to go in with him re CCFC.
Who was running the club though, ? seems an age ago now but we had that Imre Omre bloke whatever his name was as the sisu man, useless, and that pillock who suggested we have text a sub not to mention orange Ken must have been murder working or trying to with that lot, culminating with the DreamTeam Fisher & Waggott one of the planks still here.Hoffman was chairman in be Sisu's early days where many poor decisions were made and the club was badly run. I'd personally rather he wasn't involved.

Wow !Dulieu was Hoffman's replacement
I can’t vouch for Hoffman’s business acumen but his judgement has been called into question on here often enough, possibly with justification.
Hoffman has travelled home and away for decades and has Coventry City DNA for sure. I wish the likes of Overson and Hoffman could come together and secure a more secure future for the club.
That said Simon Jordan, Mel Morris and Alan Hardy were fans of their clubs and it didn’t end well for either party.
You don't think a ten-year stadium sharing agreement and support for a very successful manager is a secure future?
Ten years' residency and a few vague promises about a new ground doesn't sound overly secure, no.You don't think a ten-year stadium sharing agreement and support for a very successful manager is a secure future?
Yes, him and suntan Joe.Wasn't it Hoffman who wanted the academy shut down?

There's a lot of people on here that turn up week in week out. There's a lot of people on here I wouldn't want anywhere near running our football club.Hoffman has travelled home and away for decades and has Coventry City DNA for sure.
Overson and Hoffman were working together, what happened?
