Gary Hoffman New Chairman football league?
Things could not get any worse if Gary Hoffman becomes chairman of the football league as was mentioned in last thread and checked, and he's definitely favourite
Gary is not only highly regarded by 'some of us fans' (not all) but also obviously by the highest people in the game, but this may not be good news for Cov city fans as he probably will have to dissociate himself from the Sky blues all together if he was to land this prime job, particularly in the present circumstances as SISU would have a field day if they thought that there was any bias of any description.

Agree. Is he going to dump us for the spotlight of the premier league? If so he is not the messiah most on here think he is.

Why should it make a difference? wasn't Dave Richards chairman of the Premier League and Sheffield Wednesday at the same time?

Les Reid has stated that he can't be part of takeover if he does take the chairmanship of the Premier League

I know Gary Hoffman is more interested in seeing the Sky Blues through to stability than he is in the Premier League.
Isn't it great that he has such good contacts in the football and business world?

Strange that SISU saw fit to ban a potential Premier League Chairman from the Sky Blues Boardroom when he would presumably be welcome in any other club's boardroom!!!
I think Hoffman told lordsummerisle on the famous phone call that he resigned ...

I imagine that SBM was referring to the position post resignation.

To be honest after resigning from the board you wouldn't really expect to walk back into the boardroom at the next game would you?
It's not called the peoplewhohaveresignedfromtheboardroom.
That would be massive!

True, but some businesses manage to keep friendly relations with those who have departed.
Some even think it may be in their business interest so to do, something about not burning bridges unnecessarily.

Depends who was burning the bridges at the time though really.

I'm sure you'd still be saying the same if he had said the opposite.

Hoffman was an Associate Director with no executive responsibilities, which allowed him to sit in the Boardroom for home matches, and as I understand it SISU banned him from attending matches in the Boardroom.
Edit: Millie explained my question - thanks!

Was this after resigning from the full board? Was the Associate Directorship awarded after that?
Good for him - he is much more popular with the fans when he attend matches in the stands.
Do you ever attend matches with the fans when you're not mixing G & T's for Joy ?

Perhaps Joy should try it then, if that's all it takes?
