Ooh on the one hand I want to say yes but also as someone else pointed out the judge in the JR did see more evidence of the ACL finances/financial position than we have. So maybe there was something in what ACL were saying or not. Do Wasps still have to produce the ACL accounts now that they've bought the company? If they do that will settle the matter better than we can on here, with no real evidence to prove things either way?
Mr Eastwood Indicated It pretty much Broke even over the last two years .
I would like to agree, but didn't he say that he had spoken to one of them but wouldn't say which one?
Shame I hadn't added Kim Jong Il to that list then. I'd trust him over the other four.
The one thing niggling me is that he has admitted to speaking to one of them. Was it one of them that helped bring Wasps to the Ricoh?
My money would be on Hoffman if it is the case.
I think I've always made my views on the unholy trinity cleartbh though I'd struggle to believe Elliott or Hoffman would have anything to do with Wasps coming into the city. OK, their watches may not have been glorious in the slightest(!) but they're Coventry fans and they surely have seen the trauma of moving CCFC away.
Also, being from Coventry, they'd know there was a rugby team in need of support.
I just can't see either of them being involved in this... and hope I'm right, as I'd rather restrict my barracking to pointing out the failures of the football club during their times involved, rather than have to add anything extra!
So which one do you think he spoke to and why?
Do you think it could be to back SISU into a corner to try and get them to sell up?

Hoffman/Elliott both persona non grata to SISU so unlikely to be them, Ranson I think left on more favourable terms and of course headed their acquisition of CCFC. Most likely to be him as he is into sports investment generally.
Can't be sure but just checked the Twitter feed ,nothing there ,but pretty sure he ruled out Ranson.
He also categorically denied interest in taking over CCFC, makes you wonder why they'd need Elliot/Hoffman.
Of the choices he was offered... I fear Hoffman. Ranson would be the logical one though, as he likes investing in sport for investment first.
tbh giving the answer he did was a little unfair really, as it offers the chance for needless speculation!

I will throw in John Poynton to set off a ripple
Ex City Chairman, Jersey Rugby Club etc etc

Aside from Les Reids Twitter account was Ransons alleged involvement ever reported anywhere else? I dont recall it being suggested anywhere else. Perhaps someone should add it to the rumour thread
Tell us then??If Les Reid reported an involvement by Ranson then that rules Ranson out!

It can't be far off though, it's one of three people so must have been a good guess out of nowhere.
Purple is a fruitFunny that a lot of guessing going on when Sisu are involved??
everything from where they get their money to where our new Ground is going to be even what do they actually want now? :thinking about:
It is if Tim said so.Purple is a fruit
