Thanks for the comments Rev - irony is that at the same time as I have been trying to get the club divorced from SISU I have personally been trying to get divorced from my wife so its been a bit fraught all round! Mind you it looks like my personal divorce will happen quicker then the clubs - at least I have had an offer on the table which has been accepted. Seems you have to be able to make an offer before someone can accept it - tip for Mr Hoffman.
any news on Hoff bidding £1 for SOC ?
i am setting up my own group to "take over" the club
we are called the n.W.o - new world order
Out of the ashes of the New Joy Division?
Nah, the N.W.O were from 1984
That was the N.W.A. wasn't it?
Maybe the new group are going to start popping some caps in some muthafuckas ass?
As long as it's minuted and on the agenda mind.
lets make a group where we all hold hands...naked
Jan has been spot on with his postings here. The blind faith behind Hoffman just because he is a Coventry fan is alarming although I put that down to some peoples desparation as well as stupidity. Any idiot can go "yeah, we want SISU out, just go SISU, go away." Then what happens? At least Jan seems to have thought about this.
This view is frankly retarded.
Blind faith suggests that people have suggested Hoffman in because he is a CCFC fan. Wrong.
1. Hoffman has approached the current owners with intent to buy out and invest both in the team and in the assets (Stadium etc) - this information has been public.
2. The current owners cant and don't want to do that.
Blind faith is to suggest that we should trust Hoffman without knowing what his plans are. But he's told us what his plans are - have SISU?
I suggest its more accurate to say "From the information available, it makes more sense for CCFC to sell to the consortium that wants to invest - not cut back."
How is that blind faith?
This view is frankly retarded.

ashbyjan;138273 I was shocked to be told that Hoffman and Elliott would refuse to deal with any fans body that has dared to talk to the current owners but from the sound of it they actually have no interest in fan representation anyway – doesn’t bode well for the future 'CCFC'[/QUOTE said:Who told you this, and how certain are you that it's true?
Why act like a dick?
I understand what some are saying about putting blind faith in the Hoffman bid and that we don't know anything about the bid.
But it's not like we could be jumping from the frying pan and into the fire, because we are already in the fire with Sisu in charge in IMO.
I'm all for the hoff bid without knowing the full details of the consortium because it's clear we are only going backwards with Sisu and they have already been told by the council that they can forget the Ricoh.
My opinion is that the approach SOC had before, that SISU should put the club up for sale at a reasonable price, was spot on. At the moment we've only got Hoff sniffing around and we don't know for sure what his bid involves, people are assuming that because he's a fan everything will be OK.
If SISU were to market the club and try and sell it who knows who else might put their hat into the ring. And what happens if SISU do go, which now seems to be the sole aim, and Hoffs investors aren't ready to step in?
So I whole heartedly applaud the guy for at least doing something !
I have no pride in failure Mexico - I wanted more than a SISU-out chanting mob but others had their own ideas so I leave it to them. I hope their blind faith in Hoffman is rewarded and this time next year we are thinking about promotion from Div One and all will be rosy with our benevolent new leader.
So Save Our City have now become a pro-Hoffman group?

An opinion not based on fact, in my opinion. Gary is a mate of my Dad's and, having met him on a number of occasions, I find this notion ridiculous.
'I am not prepared to blindly follow anyone on the strength of promises and rhetoric'
I can't begrudge you that.
