at least he is tryting to keep us fans in the picture which we are lacking from a club perspective, although i am just hopeful there is some truth to it!
I am not banging on as you put it I am just putting my opinion over as are you Rich.
As I said in an earlier thread with KG what happens if he suddenly stops texting?
Will we get the sisu to blame line?
What happens when he is getting tweets or whatever all day every day , what happens when he stops because he is told to do so the doom and gloom merchants will be out, aimed at individual but I am sure you know that these type of people are out there.
What would people be saying if Onyi came out and started doing the same as sisu have done and nothing materialized they are called liers which we know they are, leonard done the same by tweeting and look what happened there, it is not always a good thing.
Ok fair enough say things but all we have had is 10 days this, no news yet, bear with us, nothing positive has been said.
Like you say media spot light great exposure but what has he actually said to give you or others hope that their is infact a takeover on the cards.
Never read it so no not taking the piss.!
Fair enough mate - just get behind it. SISU will kill our club and this is our way out. It needs our full support.
I think were all behind it, including getting the media behind it using whatever means. The point was only around Keys pointless tweets saying hang tough etc something is happening, its not like he is tweeting "Join the Save our city campaign" is he....come on rich see both sides.
Surely you're taking the piss?!
Keys today: "Re ccfc. There are things happening. But deals like this take time. Sit tight - fingers crossed. More as and when I get it."
It's Hoffman setting up this bid, and if any of you on here try to discredit him then you really have no clue about the stature of the man in the business world. Keys is merely doing the PR for him in this case.
To anyone whining about Keys or Hoffman - and to an extent Ranson (as they all seem to be in this together judging by them all sharing Hoffman's box on Monday) you clearly don't want this takeover to succeed as much as some people do.
I'm glad he's saying these things. I feel so down about my football club I was so happy when he posted his initial tweet saying "10 days" etc and if there'd been no update on that i'd have thought "what the f***?!"
This 'other side' has come out with things such as "Richard Keys is making this club a laughing stock" - it's all pointless bitterness towards a guy trying to save us.
Seriously - what is the point of this sniping?!
No-one is discrediting the Hoffman bid because none of us know anything about the bid - that is the point. We just find the Key's tweeting irritating - and there are a number of posters who share this view. We have been lead up the garden path too many times beforehand.
You talk of stature as if this is the decisive blow in the pro-Hoffman arguement - well Ken Delieu, Onye Igwe, SISU, Brody etc all had/have stature in business (google it) - regardless of their track record at Coventry. I am not the slightest bit interested in Hoffman's "stature". Hoffman is a front man. Keys is a mouth piece. I will judge the bid by the actual investor(s) and his/her/their track record in football/business, the detail of the investment, the business plan and blueprint for the future.
You are quick to condemn any poster who does not embrace the Hoffman bid with a blind faith and confidence. You accept you know nothing of the Hoffman bid yet you want the bid to succeed - so you want SISU out at any cost, irrespective of the substance/detail of the Hoffman bid.
Sorry but I am not so willing to make such a blind leap of faith based upon Hoffman's "stature" and the tweetings of Keys.
As I have stated several times now, I remain undecided about Hoffman. Criticising and "moaning" about posters such as myself does little more than alienate us. How about me posting and telling you that you are not allowed an opinion of your own and if your opinion does not agree with mine then you are not a Coventry fan - would such an approach cause you to change your mind?

There are four different people that I actually want to hear from and Keys is not one of them
1) GH because he is the man actually brokering any potential deal - dont need if, buts and half truths from those around him who most likely know very little
2) Joy Seppala because my guess is GH is dealing direct with her - what I need to hear from her is that a deal has been done to sell or in some way work together to save our club
3) Tim Fisher because as the head guy on the CCFC board he should know the current financial situation - need him to tell us the real figures. I also need him to explain how the debt from SISU was £24m in May 2010 and now 18 months later has jumped to more than £35m despite big cost savings
4) Any new investor or owner - I need to know who they are, how they will invest in our club, how they will be different not only to SISU but also all those who mismanaged the club into the mess in the first place. For the record if they do not come up with a plan that is not different to those of the last 15+ years then they are not going to get my full support - more of the same will lead to more of the same results on and off the pitch and simply is not good enough.
Do I need to hear from Keys? no because in actual fact he has said almost nothing meaningful. I appreciate that in some way he is raising our profile but keep bleating on without facts eventually weakens that profile. It may well also be GH finds his tweets more of a hinderance because it raises the pressure on him at a time he needs focus on brokering the deal rather than media leaks.
I appreciate that for some it raises their hopes, not a bad thing, but keep an open mind....... making attempts at putting a bid together is not actually a bid ....... and a bid is not necessarily a deal ....and an accepted deal is not necessarily going to be better for the club in the long run. It may all be good and successful but it isnt guaranteed. One thing very likely is that Keys wont actually be involved in the bid but will claim and influence in it - CCFC fan yes but you have to have known the man to understand there is more to it than being a fan
recently there has been far too much on here of "you back the GH bid or you are not a true fan" far too much " If you are not totally anti SISU you are not entitled to an opinion" far too much "if he is supporting GH he must be a hero". In reality we know very little that is accurate and current and all we have is opinion that may or may not be right. Stating an opinion does not make it fact or right..... it is just an opinion valid but no more so than any other - there is no need to resort to character assassination or abuse, to do so only weakens your own viewpoint
Just my opinion all
Whether you or anyone else 'want to hear from him' is, in my opinion, irrelevant.
The club also has to establish a friendly working relationship with all those connected with the ownership and management of the Ricoh Arena, so that we can exercise toe option to buy the half share open to us. Maximising the use of the Arena would then benefit not only the football club but the City as a whole.
I would like to see the Academy expanded to make sure that all promising young players in the Midlands are scouted and offered the opportunity to join the Club.
