I was doing a bit of surfing last night and there is a whole lot of negativity against C9S - Billsaja's posts on Owlsonline are worth a read. There does seem to be a lack of substance. Joe Kosich comes across very unfavourably - apart from his e-bay listing of Rovers (and he got that wrong by offering the club for sale when it was only PJ's 60% that was available) he seems to enjoy slagging off fans on their own forums (Sheff Wed, Norwich). Unless people are doing good and consistent impersonations of him, he comes across as an arrogant tosser - completely unprofessional. The only positive noises in respect of C9S come from their own website.
As worrying is that PJ will know this and is still willing to hold talks. Does this mean that, after 10 years of trying to sell, he is willing to leave us to our fate to retrieve some of his investment? It would be understandable from his point of view, but is a pretty terrifying thought. Despite the PJ knockers, this man has put a lot of money and time into the club and has succeeded in a remarkably short period in removing our operating losses while leaving us competitive on the pitch (partly due to Les). Whether this can be sustainable if gates drop any further is questionable, though.
He may, of course, be using C9S to generate publicity in the hope that other investors will take note. I hope to God that this is the case ...
