Doubt it would be covered anyway:

When you are talking about the local council ombudsman; do you mean the local council ombudsman or the local council ombudsman?

I know. I’m still unclear what your allegation is. Several people bid, two stuck around, one won.

Are you saying someone was stopped from bidding? I’m not sure what the relevance of the councils wishes for the arena are.
I genuinely think SISU had every intention of bidding via a backer.

Storey and his crew probably intimated they would bid as some kind of CCFC buy in, threw in an exclusivity clause which restricted SISUs ability to team up with anyone else (possibly NEC), messed about, dandied Joy down a garden path, during which time MA had exclusivity with 1.2m.

Few would bid without CCFC on board so whilst not blocked, it had the same effect

Been a fair few years since I’ve posted on here, despite me still being a regular viewer.
However I couldn’t let the absurdity of this thread go by without comment!

A summary of this thread so far is this:

SBT - “The ruling council group should be held accountable for their involvement in the sale of the stadium”

Local opposition Tory councillors then try to hold the ruling group accountable.

SBT - “bastard Tories don’t care”

Seriously you lot, if you can’t put aside your political tribalism, or separate national politics from local politics then you don’t deserve an accountable council.
Lot of educated lefties on here.

Someone earlier said that the Sky Blues fans should get politically organised.

Tories face a wipeout next election.

Next Council election the “Sky Blue Party” might work - Tories would protest vote there. Lefties will probably vote left still. But anyway.

Charlton did it. Slightly different situation but still - it worked.

That’s exactly what should happen to be honest.

It doesn’t matter if you’re left or right. Pro Sisu or pro wasps, anti Ashley or pro King. The simple fact is as far as I see it is that the council (or any public body) should always have to account for its actions. This should be something we should all be able to agree on.

Are you still oiling up Anne Lucas?
Nah. I’m happy to hold my hands up and admit that certain things I was probably wrong about when I was last on here. Although not everything, I still detest Sisu

They have clarified what they meant by “the council”. It’s the organisation we all pay tax to each month

What’s your definition ?

They didn't do it at the time did they, they walked out in a pre planned walkout designed to get fools to applaud them.

If they had answered Maton's question they would of been able to debate it but no they even dragged out the one who tried to ask if the debate was being blocked.

Mainly because in a democracy they don’t need to. It was already clarified that the motion was legally sound.

It’s not up to Maton to decide how a legal sound question is worded. You do realise he doesn’t have that authority right?

No it is up to Maton, it's part of his role. In a democracy there are rules, it's not anarchy fella. There are rules, regulations and procedures and Maton is within his rights to challenge if he thinks someone is acting against these rules and regulations.

All they had to do was state what they meant but they didn't want to as it was a trap set up to allow them to "walk out" in teh hope that the a few would fall for it.

Looks like you are one of the few.

What rule, regulation, or procedure did the motion break?

What do you consider “the council” to be? 54 wannabe despots? Or the organisation that collects our bins (sometimes), repairs the odd pothole, and owns the freehold to the CBS Arena?

You think I’m one of the few?? Read the room mate

I mean a few bid. I’m not as convinced as others CCFC is the essential ingredient beyond being the anchor tenant. And I don’t think they’ve seriously got other options.

But otherwise I agree. I think Joy wanted a buyer earlier and Storey fucked her. I’m unsure how this points to a conspiracy and not just shit choice in buyers though .

It doesn’t matter what we consider the council to be, what it actually is is the council. Hence the meeting being called “council”. I can consider a peanut to be a nut, but it’s not, it’s a legume. And if I was working on the biology of nuts that is an important fact regardless.

You’ve clearly got some issues, and I’ve agreed with you that Maton could and should have handled it better (as has he), but if you think the Tories were trying to hold anyone to account and not doing some shit theatre for social media I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Why say “Storey f—-d her?”

Some things should be left unthought

To be fair I think this is one of the few threads the tribalism hasn't kicked in.

Loads of people on it think the likes of Maton are cunts and have got stuff that needs investigating that they're desperately trying to prevent.

Also stating that the opposition had an opportunity to push that and absolutely failed to do so by walking out (and shutting up the one person who was pressing the issue) when they could have just clarified what they meant and make Maton block it to make him look like he's trying to hide something. They're just playing politics rather than actually wanting to sort this out for whatever reason - either stuff they want to hide themselves or looking to the future when they might have control of the council and be open to similar motions themselves.

Put simply, we think both parties are being arseholes.

Mate, it doesn't matter if it actually broke any rules. Maton rightly or wrongly can challenge a motion for debate if he thinks it breaks the rules. You have just been claiming there are no fucking rules as it's a democracy. Make up your mind.

As Myself and others have said it was a political stunt and there was not any intention to actually have a debate.

Read the room? Is this forum the be all and end all of city fans? No, just because you've fallen for a political trick not be so salty fella.

I'll leave you with this:

The Tories don't give a fuck about the football club, they would of basically done the same as the current administration and they had no intention of having a debate today as they could of had one even after being challenged by Maton.
