Totally understand that viewpoint but myself, I would be cautious. Just because we have arseholes at the moment, it cannot be a case of 'out of the frying par, into the fire', however unlikely that may be.
I rather be cautious than be elated that SISU have left, only to discover the Venkys or Oystons have taken over.

Wrong about what? Link to it or quote it.

My guess is the offer will be rejected and the consortium will put the details in press tomorrow.
Get your phones charged and your email addresses ready.

You're missing my point. I get that, but like I've just explained on the post above, I'd urge caution to ensure we don't end up with owners equally inept as SISU.
Pointless other speaking to our owners if they're the f&%king Venkys, right?

Nope...I think you'll find it's Dot Cotton and a pregnant fish.

Well when they reject this offer, we need to make some sort of noise at the Walsall game to try and get them to change their mind during the summer. I don't know what we should do, but we can't all just tut and send passive aggressive tweets

Nobody will be worse than Sisu.
One of our problems is that nobody will deal with Sisu and everybody is moving on to other things.
Namely, Higgs Centre, Ricoh, Wasps and more importantly the fans.

So really not anything new in the CT article. Until we know what the offer consists of its impossible to judge.
Isn't this a bit misleading? The sale price is one thing but how much did they pay to settle existing debt? Would expect any new takeover to follow the same form.

If you go back a few years you'll find plenty of people saying the same thing as a reason for people to give up their shares and pass control to SISU. People were convinced things couldn't get worse.

They didn't pay that much actual cash to settle debt, did they? They took on certain liabilities that were only going to be paid on achievement of certain milestones! (imagine that)

Looks like it as it has his foot print over it 'no credible bid'Multi millionaire City fans.
Has Grendel made a bid then?

But the problem is they are no longer losing millions per year, they just want to recoup a lot of what they have invested. You, I and everyone knows they wont get it, but that is the problem, and until they are offered money to cover some (if not most) of these losses then we are stuck with them.
Not sure what you are referring to re the property being worth thousands...are you advocating they sell the training ground and then go? I would prefer the club to have a training ground, but if that means they go then brilliant, but we need new owners to sort another one out promptly.
I don't think they will hold on for spite, she is a just a hard nosed bitch, and its the cold hard cash that does the talking, not sentiment. She has an offer that meets her valuation, she will go, spite I don't think plays a part. I have met a few extremely wealthy people in my life, loaded beyond anyone's wildest dreams, and they were all utter cold bastards without sentiment, and that is why they were so rich, no emotion, no spite. That's Joy.
Re you business, it wasn't a dig I genuinely felt you had made some comments to its success, but if I am wrong then apologies, but the fact it keeps the Children's Riding stables going, is good on you.

What "Link" or "Proof" do you need... You never believed Italia, and you've been proven to be wrong. Grow a pair and apologize to him... Somehow I don't think you've got the bollocks though!

So if the offer was made last weekend and the club statement today says it isn't credible for SISU its a non starter surely. Some will say its the start of negotiations but is it? The club statement is actually quite scathing of the bid if you read it. As too is the content from Reid
The club statement was to get their story out in public first. They and Reid knew this was coming out. Can't help thinking the CT announcement actually doesn't help when dealing with the hermit that is Joy Seppala, she expects things to be private and it is her that has to be persuaded
Does make me think we are back to where we were 5 years ago doing everything (and nothing ) in the press hoping fans pressure will make the difference to an offer that hasn't tempted SISU :banghead::banghead::banghead:
it does however put to bed this myth that there is no one interested
other than that not sure what to make of it

Just good timing for all this before that last game to get people fired up?

What ChiefDave said.
And whilst you might be right about no one being worse than SISU, there's a chance that others could be as bad as them. After the transition from previous to SISU, I simply cannot see what some wouldn't be cautious about new owners.
Desperation shouldn't be an excuse for open arms without caution.
Nick

Pretty much. I'd say it's a bit of a PR game.
The way Italia is trying to get people fired up and angry from the off and it being just before the last game where there's talk of getting the game abandoned it's hard to think otherwise just yet.

Thus proving they know absolutely nothing about this when some fans already knew all along.
