It says plenty but not that he has been identified by Hoffman. Fairly obvious though if you fancy a bit of attention and a day out to call those two. Will keys and ranson join them as well?

@ SkyblueBazza....This enough proof for you?
American property tycoon Preston Haskell IV was back at the Ricoh Arena today, keen to make his presence felt and press ahead with plans to take over Coventry City and half of the stadium.
The 46-year-old multi-millionaire has confirmed to the Telegraph that he has written to the administrator of CCFC Ltd, Paul Appleton, expressing an interest in acquiring the football club as soon as possible.
Haskell flew in to the UK this morning on his private jet and made his way straight to the stadium with friends and business associates who are the guests of former vice chairman Gary Hoffman and suspended life president Joe Elliott who have been seeking a major investor to take over the club for the last two years

I'm not backtracking. You're trumpeting Haskell as if it's already a done deal and he's bought loads of players. He hasn't yet. Things could go awry, so I think a little caution is necessary. I don't think there is ONE person on here who doesn't want new owners, not one, but really we must be patient and see what happens.
I'm not sheepish at all and really you calling someone else's posts "out of order" is a little rich. Lastly, regarding my remark to V15. He's a racist, so if the boot fits...

I'd be getting worried if I were you. You'd have to find a new excuse not to go.

Why would he need the "attention"?

Exactly right. It's ridiculous not to be sceptical and question intent especially as their escort is the man who bought sisu to the club. The fact he has already tried to buy in elsewhere and failed brings further similarities to the current owners.
No point jumping out the frying pan straight into the fire.

If, by your last post...."If the boot fits" you are calling me a racist,( This is how it comes across to me), I would be very careful if I were you!

Stu they've been here 6 years. Lets look at the figures
07-08 - 19k
08-09 - 17k
09-10 - 17k
10-11 - 16k
11-12 - 14k
See the trend?
8,000 fans lost since there control. Pretty sums up there tenure

What are you talking about? Can you not read? I said "Lastly, regarding my remark to V15. He's a racist, so if the boot fits..."
So, not I wasn't calling YOU a racist at all. I think my sentence made that more than clear so not sure why you made an issue of it.

Look at the averages for the other years at the Ricoh and see the real trend.

I wouldn't get involved. People are being way too precious.
On your previous point, totally agreed. Not just your points but also it was Elliott and Hoffman that brought sisu to the club wasn't it. Not saying it'll go the same way but people seem so desperate for something to happen that common sense disappears. It actually reminds me of when sisu were first touted. Learn from your mistakes. It must be done properly this time, any potential backer must be checked out rigorously.

@ Grenduffy...
I don't need excuses to satisfy your whims about going to the Ricoh. Yaaawwwnnnnnn. I travel to away games, of which I have missed two(2)
There again, you already know this, as does everyone on this forum. I have also stated (This is the last time of telling you) When SISU have finally gone from the City, is when I come back to watching games at the Ricoh. As I've said before, I've probably watched more games than a lot of CCFC supporters this season, and in doing so have probably spent hundreds of pounds more in the process. The away games have been great times this year, and I won't let pricks like you spoil it for me either!

I say...Is that in the same way that you find it hard to distinguish between a FACT!....and a "ESTIMATED FACT!

Don't think it was Elliott or Hoffman who brought sisu to the club but might be wrong. At the time we were a basket case up for grabs and sisu were looking to get hold of a club for some time.

Haskell is flying in on his private jet today to watch the game this afternoon mate
No.it's a chartered jet, the same one that Felix Dennis uses when he flies to and from the States in.

Elliott was definitely involved. Not entirely certain about Hoffman

Hope that Elliott remembered to put his "ticking clock" back an hour last weekend, though putting it back about 15 years would possibly be better.

Well here's a fact then. Haskell isn't buying the club. Better wipe the yolk off your head.

How much of those "hundreds of pounds" go towards saving the club you claim to love? None.
Boycotting a football club long term isn't sensible political action of any sort. It's just harmful.

The egg is on you dickhead. Hoff and Elliot are being backed by Haskell.

Ha ha talk about back tracking! It might not go through because SISU will probably make it as difficult as possible. The fact is you stated that there would be no interested parties in buying the club if it went into admin. This alone already shows what little you know. If you now want to change your stance to "if it goes through", I will again enjoy highlighting your failings when CCFC resumes its existence with new owners. (To be fair you highlight them pretty well yourself!)
