From My Pre-Game Chat With Gary Hoffman

From the horses mouth From my pre-game chat at Middlesbrough today with Gary Hoffman. Of course he knows the FA rules. There's nothing in it. It would have been sorted if bid agreed. Ben Turner is having a medical. Parkin is not part of deal. We could have had Adam Le Fondre in the summer. Reading paid 250k with a further 100k add ons. We bid £100k for Le Fondre but had no intention of getting him. Didn't think we sell anyone else but don't rule it out.  SISU want to sell the Club when it's not making a loss for money. Administration is a possibility as SISU have taken out loans. Liquidation is very unlikely. Few Clubs go that way. He looked very very tired & knows some fans don't have faith in him. He has worked with FA for years so knows rules about buying Clubs. His investors have withdrawn offer and they are considering next steps. He won't give up. He's a fan. The ball is in sisu's court We need 20,000 fans to break even. Ccfc losing less money with sale if players SISU don't care about the demonstrations by fans.  SISU aim is for club not to lose money and will make cuts to do it He is a great bloke and spent ages talking to fans Paul Twister
