OPINION: Moronic politics has failed city of Coventry in Ricoh Arena dispute – time for change

 

---

[skybluetony176]

As part of the Lock us out, starve them mentality I’ve been banging on about I wonder if we could get media outlets to boycott wasps coverage of both Rugby and Netball teams? The observer would be the obvious place to start, can’t see the Telegraph joining in and the BBC are probably prohibited from doing so by their charter. I wonder if someone on Twitter would be good enough to pose the question to Les. Ask the telegraph at the same time in full public view of twitter so we can gauge their individual responses. Not on it myself so can’t ask him/them personally.

Les is spot on

 

[theferret]

I'd say that was the best piece he's ever written on the issue.

To be fair that's a decent article. A slight bias on his side as you'd expect, but certainly more balanced than most of what I've read on the subject.

I'm reading between the lines here but I'm not sure Les likes Simon Gilbert or the CT very much.

 

[cc84cov]

Very good piece

They did sack him because he wouldn't do their spin and Simon took the job and did what he was told.

Excellent piece from Les. No doubt the anonymous twitter accounts are being fired up as we speak.

For once he doesn't use too many epithets, they do him no favours. An 'anti-SISU Sky Blue Trust' slipped through, but it's better than usual!

I don’t think anyone could claim the trust aren’t anti-SISU!

Was trying to be sarcastic!

If I were to refer to you as anti-council chiefdave in commentary, would it be useful or constructive?

 

[skybluetony176]

Besides I thought we were all anti SISU? Not sure why the Trust merits special attention on that point. Other than that though a good article.

 

[Moff]

What an excellent piece by Les, written I feel as a fan of the club, which is why we are all here.

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

A very good piece,Learnt me a few new things about the sale to w***s

 

[Liquid Gold]

If they weren't already sitting uncomfortably in the Wasps offices about kicking the club out the last couple of days should have changed that.

 

[ajsccfc]

I can almost hear the frantic Twitter alias switching as we speak.

They won’t know who to target first, the club Robins or Reid.

Excellent bit of reporting from the heart and of known facts, BBC & Coventry Evening Telegraph will not be offering him a job soon methinks!!

 

[olderskyblue]

definitely a more balanced piece from him, Good to see he blames all sides now, and they are all held in "abject contempt"

The Council, Wasps, Councillors, the Trust, Duggins, CWR, Linnell, Hoffman's consortium, previous custodians of CCFC, David Conn, Gilbert..... Don't think he missed anyone out did he? Feel sure he did, but can't quite spot it..... Christ, he even
admits he "re-entered the fray" to re-calibrate the debate away from the predominate and counterproductive blaming of SISU (and the club). More balanced, but not balanced... :emoji_smile::emoji_smile:

however, I agree with most of what he says

First post , been going to watch city since 1964.
An excellent summary from a true sky blue. Let’s hope the tide starts turning and the rest of the false media coverage gets seen through.

 

[Ricketts]

We need more of this.

Welcome to the forum. Are you paid by the council or sisu?

Looks like SISU

 

[Ccfcfollower]

Retired , don’t think my pension paid by either.
Still have to contribute to the wonderful council though-

 

[Liquid Gold]

Surely not, sisu would never invest in anything to do with CCFC...

The Observer..

 

[Ccfcfollower]

I don’t listen to bbc phone in anymore and refuse to look at the telegraph biased reporting.
To be honest I find more information on here a you can’t say you don’t get differing views.

 

[Ccfcfollower]

I will start reading the Observer,now

 

[Covstu]

It’s a well written piece which highlights a lot of my own thoughts and feelings on the subject

 

[fernandopartridge]

The problem is that the personal clash between him and Giblet means that Giblet is constantly trying to prove him wrong, that's despite LR winning an employment tribunal over the CT burying the ACL loan buyout.

 

[Magwitch]

I will start reading the Observer,now

Not if you live in the Longford/ Foleshill/Bell Green areas you won’t, not been delivered that side of Cov for years

Yet, people do regularly make that assertion over on social media. Apparently, as most on here blame all parties and not just Sisu, we are all pro-Sisu.
