sisu: it's Game On! (kcic news and views roundup 8.6.14)






Getting ready to spread the kcic message at the Football League! (Friday 6 June 2014)


*just to remind ourselves we're football fans - League One fixtures will be out 18 June*


Judicial Review - it's a massive week for sisu


As Mark Labovitch has said with the Judicial Review: “the truth will be known”!

• Will sisu prove the council did not follow “due process” with the loan to acl, and acted illegally?
• Will sisu prove there was a conspiracy by the council to wrest control of the club away from sisu?
• Will sisu produce the long rumoured documents - a smoking gun if you like - that will show this is all the council’s fault?

sisu must be confident to have pursued the JR for so long - they started it way back in April 2013 ● when the JR was originally rejected, sisu successfully appealed ● this is the chance for sisu to prove things they've been saying for well over a year now

The JR won't magically get us back to the Ricoh ● the Judge might make an immediate decision or he might take his time and do a written one ● either side can appeal ● the JR certainly won’t be the end of the CCFC saga ● but it is sisu's big chance on council illegality, conspiracy and a smoking gun - no doubt there'll be the usual spin but it's definitely a huge week for sisu



Football League last Friday

• We certainly let the Football League know we're not giving up the fight to get CCFC back to Coventry
• A very big thank you to everyone who helped out
• Why not do your bit to help - we've got new laminate flyers (paid for by t-shirt sales) so get some by emailing [email protected] and get your local shops, pubs, clubs and wherever else to display one, just like A.P. Harvey Wines on Earlsdon Street very kindly have!

Same could be said of CCC, if they thought they had done anything wrong, it would of been settled out of court by now. CCC must believe they have a strong water tight case.

Well you obviously didn't go so don't criticise anyone else for none attendance.

I'm not - I'm just surprised as Michael pointed out only one attended a Tim Fisher forum he did not mention how many went to the football league. I assumed it was an omission and was offering helpful advice.

TBF, if it was only Michael wouldnt it have equaled that forum ?

If only one person protests fair play to them, they are making a stance.
If Fisher tries to build bridges with fans but can only draw a crowd of one, that is a different matter...perhaps they prefer the smell of coffee at home rather than the smell of bullshit.

A lot further to travel as well.

Out of interest where was the TF forum located?

You could ask why did only about 20 turn up to protest outside CCC offices. That was within a short walking distance/short bus journey/taxi/car journey for thousands of our supporters.

 

[Jack Griffin]

Had to laugh at this... http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/n..._for_forum_with_tim_fisher_834123/index.shtml

There are also rumours that Joy Seppala was to attend a min-forum at the Festival pub in Coventry on Monday night. Three people did attend but the head of Sisu Capital Ltd did not.

Jeez, last time I was at the Festival it was .. err... a bit run down, mind you that was over 10 years ago.. but basically no great change since my earliest visits in the 1970's..

How do we know only one turned up? Also when I went it was the only time I could go and they accommodated me.

Frankly its pathetic to mention it. The source was someone on here.

I just don't see why the number of protestors isn't mentioned - it implies he is embarrassed by the turnout.

Just when you failed to mention that the TF forum was in Coventry in the evening and the FL protest was on a Friday afternoon in London I assumed it was an admission so I was just being helpful.

But having read your reply to me being helpful I can clearly see you were just being a pathetic ass, as usual. And you should be embarrassed.

I agree no point at all. Everyone should do what they want to and what they feel. But also not try and pick faults with someone when they do what they want or as they feel they should.

Judging by the low turnout you'd have to say no. Wooops.

He said picking faults in the 20 outside the council house....

So where do SISU stand if they lose the JR

They try and build bridges with ACL to bring us back to the Ricoh?
They get serious about a new stadium?
They sell the club and leave?
They liquidate the club?
Which of these scenarios is most likely/realistic? Any other possibilities for them?

I would go for trying to get us behind them and still attempt what they are going for now. IMHO they have wasted too many millions on it already to give up now. Otherwise not exactly build bridges but try and make CCC/ACL look bad and get what they want on rental terms. They have known all along that if CCC turns them down we will be unhappy so they have had the freedom to do what they want knowing they can always go back.

New stadium? We would end up in excess of 100m in debt and playing outside Coventry. Only a fool would lend them the money.

Sell our club and leave? Who would give them enough?

Liquidate? Out of spite maybe. But only a maybe. If they want to get out at any stage and liquidation would bring in about the same as anything else then yes maybe. If at any time they got the freehold then a bit bigger maybe as they would walk away owning the Ricoh.

Maybe the part where I said I'd signed confused you.

Not sure what you mean by your last comment. I am a Coventry City fan.

As has been posted many times before, kcic events in London are never about numbers. They're just opportunities to highlight our plight, remind the powers that be we're not giving up and on Friday another plug for the ePetition. Only time there's been even a few dozen in London was when the Trust did sisu and FL on the same day last year. For kcic we only need a handful to be there to do what we want and on Friday there were half a dozen (plus a bloke from Finham who walked by and had no idea what was going on with CCFC!) which is exactly the same as the first time last year. It's wrong but it's the reality that half a dozen people in London can get more attention than several thousand in Cov. Got some good pics so just a case of waiting to see if any of the nationals pick them up.

So there's plenty of ammo there for those who wish to sneer, abuse and make snide comments about fellow fans. For me, I just remain in awe that after all that's gone on with ccfc, the widespread disillusion and after a long working week there are London based City fans still willing to give up their time

Does it??

Both sides in this dispute have signed the petition, so my lack of signing it is not related to any particular viewpoint.

Football generally does need a huge overall. But personally I find it hypocritical me paying for my Sky Sports subscription knowing that (indirectly) it is massively inflating the football market as a whole - and then signing a petition complaining about how the game has been ruined by money and people that have it.
