I think neither, but I've no idea who. If there is an interested consortium I think Hoffman is more likely to be involved, he is CEO of Hastings Insurance these days so he hasn't given up the day job. :angelic:

And he thinks this is a battle he can win?
Didn't work out so well last time did it. We had the French running us for a couple of hundred years.

This isn't just about red Bull. Who is going to put enough money into our club to sort out what has happened? As I have been saying the odds are that they will want something back. Some people are saying that they should get nothing in return. Not even a different shade of blue even though we change it every couple of years. They won't accept anything. What I have said is I will wait to see if anything is happening. Then if it is see who is interested. Then see what their plans are. But all I am getting from some is telling me that I am wrong for wanting to accept Red Bull and rebranding of our club :banghead:
Lets be straight. It wouldn't be easy to find someone worse than SISU to run our club. But some don't even want to consider a bid. They want to moan about it before we even know it is happening. And mainly by those who constantly attack CCC, the CET and nobody else :bored: So now they are attacking Red Bull although they know the possibilities of anything happening with them are very slim indeed
Fine Company they are too
Highly recommend fellas. save some dollar.

Think he's(like me) refering to the "Slavery" comment being brought into a nice thread, therefore dragging the thread down.
More Red Herring than Bull I think Stu.
Yeah but so did talking about Liverpool or Architecture SBK, I don't see why he can't make that observation, we shouldn't be so embarrassed as not to acknowledge parts of our history IMO

Fair comment mate, Although Slavery has been going on in Britain thousands of years before that when Britons were the slaves to Romans, Normans, and Vikings.... Works both ways like racism.Yeah but so did talking about Liverpool or Architecture SBK, I don't see why he can't make that observation, we shouldn't be so embarrassed as not to acknowledge parts of our history IMO

For the record, Africans were enslaving each other long before the British ever arrived.
While it was very wrong for the British to do so it’s in history now and there are no living victims. Please also note it was the British that abolished slavery.
I really don’t get this chip on the shoulder mentality. If it happened 10 years ago, I could understand it but really?
Anyway, I’ve said my bit and as previously mentioned it’s a shame this nice uplifting thread has been dragged into the gutter by a silly comment

They'd be more likely to take over Birmingham or Villa in my opinion.

Anyone can say they've heard a rumour that investment is coming oh no sorry it's now a takeover, and hope it comes true.
I have links to the club and I can tell you they've heard fuck all.

That's why he said it's a rumour he has been told, rather than fact.

I originally said I did not know if it was investment or takeover and then I found at more and am led to believe it is a takeover. So Mr Ruffian before you start getting above yourself get your facts rights and remember I have never claimed it to be a fact, just word going around the club that I have now heard from two separate sources the first spoke about investment, the second a takeover. Take what you want from it, I have posted in good faith and do not know if it is true or not, but they have been bang on in the past.
If it does not turn out to be true, yes I know I will look a twat and will be gutted, but hey ho, I'm an honest guy with no agenda and posting in good faith. If you don't like it or believe it thats fine. Personally, I want to believe it, but I have posted nothing but what I have been told, I have added nothing to the info.
A little more flesh now Malaka, re who's relationship to the club these two guys and the fucking fantastic potential new owners wealth and standing please, doesn't have to be actual identities, just for plausibility.
No offence intended or lack of faith in your desire to share.

You won't look a twat at all. Most on here realise you are only relaying what you have been told by people at the club. There wouldn't be all these rumours or desire for change If we were doing well. We all hope you are right this time but if not your record shows that you do have some inside knowledge and therefore the next time you tell us a rumour I for one will take it seriously.

Malaka you just keep posting what you hear and don't take any notice of these people who twist your words or reasons, well done with the info you have given to this forum and well done to you for sharing your tip bits you give us . thanks
Even if it isn't true, we all needed a little bit of hope. You were right about Lewis page hopefully you're right again!
And what if what he's being led to believe is tosh, no discredit to him, I'd appreciate a little more background without getting to Identities.

It's hard with the desperate times on the pitch AND off, I want to believe these rumours or not disbelieve them if you take my point but with little meat on the bones and even less coming out other than what Malaka is saying now and again believing is tough. Things are now so desperate at our club we as supporters will grab any lifeline there is. I have a contact well sort of within and he's heard Jack shit, having said that in the past he has told me one or two things that have come to Jack shit. I am clinging to the hope something is occurring behind the scenes, it has to be or we are f**kef
