Gary Hoffman has slammed the decision whereby Joe Elliott was forced to step aside as Coventry City's Life President.
City's board have insisted that Mr Elliott, who is to many people the public face of Coventry City and highly respected in the city of Coventry, stand aside from his position,
Speaking to the CT, Mr Hoffman said: "I thought that decision was ridiculous, because Joe is Sky Blue through and through.
"He was the one who drove the length and breadth of the country helping SISU get share certificates off Sky Blues supporters three and a half years ago.
"The then board, who were being asked to write off lots of money, didn't throw him off because they knew he was acting in the best interests of the club.
"I have helped SISU get money in over the last couple of years and so has Joe. We are just trying to act in the best interest of the club and I am surprised that the local people on the board went along with his suspension."
