Me thinks they doth protest too much

Not surprised. This council has a history of whitewashing improper behaviour so this level of misdirection just run of the mill for them

 

[SkyblueDad]

Bingo! Its all about saving face and hiding shady dealings. Its sickening and there should be a full investigation. These people do not have the interests of the city or its people at heart, only their own personal or hypocritical political agendas.

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I'll be giving this thread up for Lent at this rate.

Overdose at Christmas first.

We've all become so cynical, refuse to keep the faith.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fuck the club over, where have you been ? We have an owner who puts didley-squat into the club, took us out of Coventry twice and talked of doing it again, a manager having to constantly pull up trees with a pathetic budget to work with, she would sell any star for any fee with almost bugger all for reasonable replacements and the club is in a transfer embargo again, shall I go on,

How are wages paid

 

[Grendel]

How are wages paid

By selling assets and paying customers supporting the club

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Reeves actions needs to be investigated and appropriate action taken. This shouldn’t be whitewashed over.

 

[Nick]

Bollox !! do whatever it takes

Whatever it takes for what? Very strange.

 

[Paul Anthony]

He'll get away with it, without a scratch.

I know what is going to happen.....

Nothing....

They (Reeves and Duggins) will wriggle out of any scrutiny, just like always....

 

[Saddlebrains]

This your opinion or what you’ve heard?

Its what I've been told.

Which as shown recently is spot on in regards to council

 

[Nick]

Reeves is the reason Ashley hasnt spoken to SISU about the club

Its been made apparent that any grand designs Ashley may have for the regeneration of the area around the arena can easily be made more difficult if he's pally with SISU

Of course. Reeves needs to fuck off

 

[Nick]

I thought you were over the conspiracy that Richardson is somehow going to swoop back in? Why would Ashley give him any influence?

Like it was a conspiracy the council are involved? He turned that offer down for a reason.

 

[shepardo01]

Totally believe it!
Is there no way you could get info like this to Gilbert?... then what he does with it/how much he believes he can dig is up to him??

 

[SkyblueDad]

How are wages paid

Bankers draft I suppose

 

[CCFC54321]

Now before I go on I’m delighted for this kit man that he is still in a job especially at this time of the year. However, he’s given an impression that London wasps are returning to the area as he is effectively the old training ground caretaker. Not sure he should be doing this….

Can’t see it being at the CBS. It’s too big for a prem rugby club let alone a championship one. Plus, the only reason they had any sort of appeal in the Cov area was ‘elite’ rugby.

It would be another disastrous decision from them if they did.

Shocking yet not surprising.

So he is actively working against the interests of the club and SISU.

Basically doesn’t want CCFC owning the stadium.

Somebody will have to let the bulldozers in

The Council will probs pay the rent for them.

I hope in ends up back in the hands of the Henley locals where it should be.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Surely the Conservative opposition councillors will be all over this, the chance to prove misappropriation of taxpayers money is too good to miss.

After a couple of games and it’s chilly, getting thumped again each week they will end up with gates of 2-3,000 in Coventry. That revenue wouldn’t be enough to cover the weekly rental of the cbs and as someone mentioned on Twitter this week you couldn’t offer London wasps a different rental agreement than CCFC. It would all kick off again.

A well reasoned argument

I reckon there will be ladies football at CBS and they will get higher attendences than Wasps

I mean this is basically what it looked like.

? They will because them and Gilbert have been beating that drum for a while, but what taxpayers money? If anything it was Hottingers money.

Coventry Ladies are not part of the actual club are they? Maybe time to bring them under the CCFC umbrella and get them up the leagues.

Wouldn’t want Cov Utd ladies there if I am honest.

 

[shmmeee]

Seems to be the thing here. There’s “Coventry City Council” the organisation and “the council” the elected representatives of the city. And people are switching between which they mean at any particular point.

Local politicians fudging the facts. Shocker

 

[fatso]

By selling assets and paying customers supporting the club

Havnt we always been a selling club though?

Whats a selling club exactly?

 

[shmmeee]

Or local journos fudging facts for clicks. Take your pick.

The Chief Exec becomes “the council” which he’s not, he’s Chief exec of Coventry City Council. A third party being introduced becomes “council bailout” because that’s the story angle he’s been working with TWW and the like.
