"The council has had a team dedicated to this project for many months" makes it sound like a big team of people working on the project full time which would surely raise the question what are they doing? The input required from the council is to identify suitable sites and / or respond in a timely and helpful manner to any queries and enquiries from the club.
Suspect the reality is there's just someone in planning assigned to deal with anything related to CCFC and nothing is actually happening. Duggins has said in the past, to paraphrase, the council are doing the minimum that is legally required of them.
Yep, it is just the Trust bullshit PR for the council. Nothing more than that.
More secret Trust meetings with their mates.
Why did the Council send a lawyer to a meeting with the Trust?
Myself and Pete had a meeting lined up with them which was cancelled due to COVID situation. They were also bringing legal reps to that from what I can remember.

I’m sure we can. We don’t want to step on any parties toes whilst negotiations are ongoing. Whether an agreement is made or not I’m pretty certain that mark and i will still seek a discussion hopefully to discuss support for Ccfc in identifying a site, obtaining planning permission and the support a council can give but it may be a different discussion if we are spending the season once again outside of CoventryAre you not able to get them on Zoom or the like?
One can ask cllr dugggins by email. He’s very quick to answer

Be interesting to find out if they only do this for meetings relating to CCFC or if its standard council policy. Suspect the former which raises the question of why, what are they worried about?
So the headline is cllr duggins is not aware of any project team assisting CCFC but will check with the chief executive and come
back when he has. Sounds like neil may been answering a question not being asked on Twitter. He’s once again offered to meet Mark so once a decision has been made on where we are playing next year I’ll follow this up and check dates with you
Ha you couldn't make it up.So the headline is cllr duggins is not aware of any project team assisting CCFC but will check with the chief executive and come

i prefer things have changed and at the time they were a few people helping. I don’t think what he says is incorrect but Cllr Duggins is so open and quick to respond you’d think he’d check before just saying something that may not be correct. In any case the chief executive may confirm some time was spent in this and the last financial year. To be frank I’d expect some investment in time and effort to make it possible given the money it would bring to the city and its businesses.Any chance once you do you can go back to Neil on twitter to make sure his nonsense is properly called out, don't want the normal accounts to take this and misinform people again
It won't have been a dedicated team though. I think somebody has got their spin mixed upi prefer things have changed and at the time they were a few people helping.

Oh and I’m not on Twitter

I'm not sure getting into Twitter spats helps anyone's case. I'm more interested to see what we/they/whoever can do to move things forward rather than worry about who was right or wrong in the past.
Someone tweet him reminding him that Fisher is at the club right now.PSB Group

Well done to everyone at the club right now, gone are the day’s that our team is full of has beens and loans that don’t want to be here, we have young, hungry players with a top manager and class coach in Adi, pulling up trees right now this is special #PUSB
That’s lovely - everyone at the club right now!! Let bygones be bygones eh?
I don't know who Neil is but he is talking absolute bollocks and I will call him out for it on twitter. There is absolutely no one in the planning department working to help the club and the club has not made any enquiries, the applications for planning is publicly available.
The council has two planning stages pre and full app. The pre app is designed to make sure if the proposal goes to full it passes committee. If something is being discussed it's not in the realms of the planning department as we speak that is a fact.Not arguing with the first bit, but an app this size wouldn’t go straight to outline permission anyway, there’d be lots of preliminary talks first to ensure it stood a chance. So the fact an app hasn’t been submitted doesn’t mean there hasn’t been work done.
