Not really I’ve met and talked with boddy I only know what others have said regarding Mr HoffmanIn with Boddy though isn’t it?
In my view, this "rumour" came from a complete misreading of a set of Board minutes from years ago.
Why is that creepy, and i ask as a former pupil ?Creepy bloke, used to hang around the entrance to the corridor by the art room at Bablake. Always on his own...
It’s called ‘Jobs for the boys’How does running a bank qualify you for running a football stadium & events venue?
Careful, they'll be threatening the boss of your business to ask you to sack yourself if you keep going.The other great reference on Hoffman - and what ultimate finished the sky blues trust as a remotely credible voice of the fans - was the total delusion that Preston Haskell was a serious bidder and turned the council against the club which started the downfall - now a self declared bankrupt who faces jail if he enters the country again
... Whilst there was great scepticism elsewhere. Double it up with Haskell, throw SISU in the mix and it's fair to say Hoffman's judgement about potential financial partners for CCFC hasn't been great. Now that could actually be because as a fan he lets his objectivity go a bit in the desperation for a saviour (I'll even let him off Evans as just saying nice things and not really caring), but the track record was never the most encouraging.You compared him to Dale Evans who hadn’t a pot to piss in and a so called banking guru thought was the real deal
Not as I recall.It wasn’t a rumour it was a specific quote from Elliot in the minutes.
As I recollect, he used to have a hunched up stance, stand in the doorway.Why is that creepy, and i ask as a former pupil ?
was he a referee ?...and write things down in a little book. I found that a tad creepy.

That is a bit naive.How does running a bank qualify you for running a football stadium & events venue?
Well the exact same thing could be said about anyone, why would anyone place the best interests of their career/work life above that of their own family and personal interests.I don't doubt that he wants the club to do well. But don't be so naive to think that he doesn't hold his personal profile over what's best for the club.
Probably rejects more positions than he accepts.he gets into bed with anybody
sisu / ranson/ council/ Frasers/ haskell/ etc etc
Oh I can go lower than that ask GrendelNot really I’ve met and talked with boddy I only know what others have said regarding Mr Hoffman
That’s low from you and I expect more of you. Boddy is the ceo he’s the one we have to engage with. I have no feelings towards him about whether he can or has or will take the club forward from here
Yeah you're right, the track record of business people being dropped into top positions at the stadium is fantastic, definitely no cause for concern. I mean its not like Hoffman has shown him to be a spectacularly bad judge of character where CCFC are concernedThat is a bit naive.
People need to make their own minds up based on their own experiences. I knew of him when he and I were both kids and I thought he was odd.The nerve of the man.....
How did you know him? How old were you both? I know lots of people that have known him and just say he is a proud Cov kid who has done well but still loves the city and watches every week with his family. And at Cov building Society he was chairman and very well respectedPeople need to make their own minds up based on their own experiences. I knew of him when he and I were both kids and I thought he was odd.
Before my time but wasn’t that next to one of the cloakrooms near Rev Kelly’s “monastery”. Or was that the pottery studio?Why is that creepy, and i ask as a former pupil ?
Why because he was going to make a success of himself and you werentPeople need to make their own minds up based on their own experiences. I knew of him when he and I were both kids and I thought he was odd.
Well you've won me over....that all sounds like irrefutable proof, and practically the very definition of 'creepy'...and write things down in a little book. I found that a tad creepy.
One end of the cloakroom was the art room, and the other end was Rev Kelly's room, a music room, and the very end room was where economics was 'taught'/regurgitated from 30 year old notes iirc.Before my time but wasn’t that next to one of the cloakrooms near Rev Kelly’s “monastery”. Or was that the pottery studio?
Don’t know why there’s so much hate for Hoffman - 100% Sky Blue, former head of the EPL, clearly wants what’s best for the club.
Yeah, he’s made some judgement errors but I think he had influence in getting the club back to the arena with CBS.
He’s a Sky Blue, an Old Wheat and now he’s taken a role at the Arena. Much rather him involved at that level than someone who only has Frasers’ best interests at heart. With his CV he could be doing career stuff elsewhere with his time.
Good news I think.
Hoffman was fronting a group of local business men to try and wrestle our club, their club from sisu, they tried a couple of times unsuccessfully but at least tried.
