Fixed that.
To be fair, it is more than the CET have made up isn't it?
Is that the same Hoffman and Elliott that wanted to close the Academy?
All has slippery as each other
Fixed that.
So if Les Reid is correct we have a side to pick out of:
1) SISU - have no plans to even attempt purchase of the Ricoh. Insist new ground, outside Coventry, will be ready within 2-4 despite zero evidence anything has actually happened. Have run up the largest debts we have ever had, 2 points deductions, administration and liquidation, a move to Northampton, decimated the level of support and have dropped the club to it's lowest playing level in most supporters living memory
2) A Richardson (no relation to that one hopefully!), Hoffman, Elliott, Ranson consortium - the majority of those people don't have what you would call a glowing history with the club however I suppose you may consider it a plus that HER (as I'm going to call them) all resigned or were forced out based on being against SISUs plans for the club. Hoffman and Elliott are fans of course which is a plus point as you would think they wouldn't want to complete screw us over. You would have to think that Ranson knows enough about the club and the stadium to only come back if he thinks he can turn things around. The biggest plus is it would seem to unite the club and ground, something we've been after for a long time.
It's basically choosing between a rock and a hard place but I think I'd have to side with the new consortium. Owners come and go (hopefully at some point!) but the danger is if we stick with SISU we will end up with no ground at all or permanently renting with little to no chance of ownership. At least with the consortium it would appear that we will have a more saleable package with the club and ground united so when we are fed up of them and trying to force them out there's more chance of other parties being interested in taking over.

Is that the same Elliott who raised 250k to keep the Academy going?
Not All as slippery as each other:thinking about:

Wasn't there a set of minutes that stated he wanted to close it down?
Is this the same Hoffman who through Micheal offered to pay the rent and £50K+1 to buy the Club about two months back ,while being Involved with Wasps Consortium ,Really??
Seriously? Compared to SISU, they're the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost!
Wasnt Richard Keys here the other week apparently on business?
Elliott sat there having a tug while he watched previous boards bend the club over and bang the back out of it. He shouldn't be allowed to even watch our matches nevermind be involved with any kind of control over our club
Obviously there are different levels of fiendishly evil. They are probably a couple of steps down from SISU on that scale. Still wouldn't want any of the cunts near my club though.
It's all relative though, isn't it? I agree that he's a joke, but at times has sponsored the club and I'm sure genuinely does support us, no matter how clueless and self-opinionated he may be. I'm incredulous that some people get into such a frenzy vilifying him and Hoffman when they never have a cross word to say about SISU, who's heart-if they do have one-could never be considered to be in the right place, not to mention the infinite times more damage that they have done to the club. How can people hate them and not hate SISU more?

The same rent that would be paid back if we had more than attendances were 5k+? Weren't they also planning to take interest on top of that?( I can't remember)

Yes Stu ,was trying to make the point that how Odd it would be that he brokered that offer while simultaneously being Involved with this consortia .
Somethings amiss IMO.
Hang on. Could this be a double bluff by ACL. See that fans are against this wasps move, worried about taking flak, and through contacts give Les Reid a sneaky tip off that Ranson's involved and it includes a club takeover, with the purpose of turning fan opinion into supporting the move by appealing to fans desperation of getting rid of sisu? Spin, smoke and mirrors...
Well something stinks that's for sure. ACL have form in trying to force ownership change so why not.

If that's aimed at me, i do hate SISU more. And similarly I'm incredulous that Elliott seems like some kind of saint when he ain't.
Eurofin specialize in raising finance for the sports and leisure industries. They have done this successfully for both football and rugger clubs. Ray Ranson has acted as consultant for them for some time.
It takes the genius of the MIDLANDS JOURNALIST Of THE YEAR to turn this into a scare story.
Who has said they don't? What part of "They are all" doesn't make sense or does it need some sort of calculation on a chart to show them? I very much doubt there is anybody who dislikes Hoffman and Elliott but loves SISU. Judging by that charity game though, a large % who seem to hate sisu seem to love Elliott the way he was being worshiped (literally).
Some of the grown men there foaming at the gash when he walked onto the pitch was embarrassing, it was like a one direction concert with some of them.
Edit : Torch beat me to it.
Just some semblance of even-handedness in the rage you articulate to demonstrate that would be nice: some people rarely criticise SISU but are all over the other side at any opportunity. Why don't you just admit-to yourselves, at least-that you hate ACL/CCC etc more than SISU? You're allowed to!
And I don't know anybody who is in the Joe Elliott Fanclub myself.

You don't say it about SISU as much as you do ACL/CCC/Hoffman/Elliott, though, you have to admit! I think you hate them more than SISU based on what you post, but I don't know why. And it's aimed as much at a dozen other posters as it is you.
The only problem that Elliott & Hoffman have is they do not have enough money to buy and run CCFC.
Both are however Sky Blue through and through and are to be applauded on their efforts to help the Club.
Throw Ranson into the mix and I would far rather them own our Club than the present incumbents.
I blame the council entirely for the medicament we are in. Seems many others are seeing the light. Too late now though.
Throw Ranson into the Marianas Trench with a huge anchor around his neck and I'd feel the club might be a bit safer.
