Maybe because if he is involved, any dirty washing (that he may have been privvy too) could be hung out in public once SISU have gone.
What was his role at CCFC? Vice Chairman? Was he responsible for the Finance? If so, maybe Tim's assertion that the books were in a mess reflected badly on him, given his trade, and he may want to put that right? Just guessing.

@italiahorse does this replace the news expected to be today? You said more news on Friday?

Anyhow. In all the excitement of yesterday I forgot to update everyone on my goldfish's C section. It turns out goldfish can't get pregnant and it was just a severe case of trapped wind. That's what happens when you call a goldfish Vivian.

Yeah but that goes back to the point that anyone could make up a rumour with no timescales.
Here's one from me:
* CCFC are going to get taken over and SISU will be gone.
Heard it here first. No need to thank me when it happens.

Are you going to be doing using just gifs like yesterday?

Surely that could be hung out whether he has bought CCFC or not though?

Won't exactly make sisu want to deal with him. You know how petulant they are anyway.

Not far off imho mate. I think Hoffman knows exactly what debt SISU have, and knows that it's nothing like they claim it to be. What other reason could SISU want to see "Transparency" who is making any offer before the offer is made! They imho want to deal with bidders with no colaboration with Hoffman or. for that matter Elliot. These two know more than anyone gives them credit for.

Me too, I didn't even believe anyone would make an offer so all of this is a bonus!

Offer an undisclosed bid, sisu accepted loads of them

What I don't get is why Hoffman is being given a free pass as our potential saviour. He was front & centre for the whole mess in the first place – along with Onye, Ranson et al – and has to take some major responsibility for running up the debts and our fall from grace, surely?

Careful Rob, you'll be called a SISU lover and a scab for those kind of perfectly rational thoughts.

True but he is apparently the only alternative that seems interested at the moment - most fans would choose him over SISU in a heartbeat.

In what way was he?

You're mental.
No-one is releasing rumours to "stir things up". What's the point? There's no massive conspiracy Nick, just an endless succession of arseholes and fuck ups.
Edit: I see the Sisu Defence Force are out today. Is there some kind of c**t signal for you guys, or a WhatsApp group, or?

Evo, fair play to you mate. You obviously had some rumblings but wanted to have something a bit more concrete before you shared it with us. Best way and thanks for letting it out of the bag when you felt it was appropriate.
Though it turned out to be a failed bid, it WAS proof that something was going on. Without your post, which started this thread and I'll bet ultimately led to the CT and the Observer asking questions, we might never have known anything was afoot. If anything it puts pressure of Fisher, SISU, the league, that people are not happy and want change. It might also encourge potential buyers that if they want to play the game, they need to be serious and have a proper wad in the wings.

Of course things get stirred up and rumours get released for that very purpose. Do you really think rumours aren't used "tactically"?
Sisu Defence Force, have a word with yourself or link me to where they are being defended? By saying an offer wouldn't be good enough for them to accept isn't defending them. At least using your logic OSB is now part of the SISU defence force, I will get him a t shirt made up.
Shouting and crying saying "they should accept this offer I know nothing about because I want them to" is however more mental and a bit naive.
Maybe try and read things and reply to the points rather than just using SISU defence, it doesn't really work.

Ranson can't be blamed for anything then as he said his hands were tied...

He was the vice-chairman whilst SISU spunked their initial investment on Chris Coleman and his mediocre signings rather than make a genuine attempt to seize the Ricoh and put in place some foundations for a sustainable future. The bloke's track record with CCFC is as bad as anybody's.

you are either a massive twat or really stupid.

When Fisher leaves if he says "I wanted SISU to go because I hated them and I wanted to buy Adam Armstrong but they said no" will he be a hero?

agree, but I'm worried the consortium upper limit won't meet sisus valuation which I expect to be unrealistic.

It's almost as if people have no other argument. Quite telling really.

Must be true. The football league investigation into his conduct I'm sure had nothing to do with it.
