And there we have the hattrick. Hoffman's party has been in talks with SISU since January-this is a fact and has been confirmed on SISU's side. What is also highly likely is if talks had collapsed, SISU would be the first to boom it from the rooftops as they did last August; their silence is deafening as far as this is concerned. Hoffman had his fingers burnt when he went public last summer and gave the likes of Dulieu the chance to take a pathetic moral high ground-dealing behind closed doors makes complete sense as the aim is to purchase the club, not to say much and deliver nothing.
There are *no* other parties remotely interested aside the Hoffman consortium, and their interest has remained despite negotiating with an organisation whose motives are at best dubious and at worst malicious for the future of the club. They could have walked away in August-they haven't; and nobody else will step in if they withdraw their offer.
