Statement by Councillor Ann Lucas (2 Viewers)

[blueflint]

This is funny considering the reaction to SISUs statement

why couldn't you see the lies in SISU's statement i could ann sounds fairly upset by them

[Jack Griffin]

She is hopping mad about all those inaccuracies in CCFC's statement
Oh dear, what will become of the club

Makes you wonder why the SISU statement was so aggressive, it was not a statement about talking, it was more like trying to make the council seem unreasonable.

Agreed
Disgraceful
Another ratchet ....

SISU's statement was not designed to build bridges - that does not seem to be their way. I believe it is aimed at trying to leverage, what appears to be the pro-SISU reports and protest at the Council by Les Reid, to get the fans putting more pressure onto the Council. It does appear to have back-fired badly.

 

[Stafford_SkBlue]

We will not get anywhere with this Lady from the council.

Typical Politician tit for tat.

Not interested in the Club and gave us a -10 points.

 

[Jack Griffin]

But let me be clear, the clock is ticking and time is moving on. I will not lead the Council into a state of paralysis around this issue. Difficult times call for difficult decisions. If this matter cannot be resolved by the turn of the year, then I and all of my colleagues on the Labour Group on Coventry City Council will look to put in place a process which ensures the best possible deal for the people of Coventry in relation to the Ricoh Arena.

This is the sting in the tail of the Lucas statement, basically she is saying we won't be held to ransom & if Seppala can't agree something sensible this year she can build her new stadium, we'll use the Ricoh & the surrounding land for the people of Coventry.

I agree.. I've had enough of Joy's emotional blackmail.

A classic divide and conquer attempt .
Agree seems too have backfired?

Did it include such words as "Hell freezing over?"

What they going to do - open a mega pound land there?

 

[sixfieldsfan]

the Council simply can not help themselves can they!!

" absolutely right that we should try to avoid 'tit for tat' press releases "

THE STUPID COUNCIL TRASH THEN GOES ONTO MAKE 7 TIT FOR TAT POINTS IN PROLONGED PARAGRAPHS BEFORE FINALLY SUMMISING!!!

PATHETIC THE COUNCIL ARE - THEY REALLY ARE. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS WAS RELEASE EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING:

THE COUNCIL ARE HAPPY TO MEET WITH THE CLUB TO DISCUSS THE SALE OF THE RICOH ARENA

OR

THE COUNCIL IS REFUSING TO MEET WITH THE CLUB TO DISCUSS THE SALE OF THE RICOH
THE CLUB WANT TO BUY - SELL UP COVENTRY CITY COUNCIL BEFORE THE FANS OF THIS CLUB TAKE MORE DIRECT ACTION - MAYBE NOT PAYING THEIR COUNCIL TAX UNTIL YOU REFUND THE £14,000,000 YOU STOLE FROM YOUR TAX PAYERS WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC CONSULTATION[/COLOR]

I assume that's a joke. She makes mutton sound articulate.

It's the only way 90% of Coventry will be interested in it - may as bulldoze it to the ground - no one cares less about it.

 

[hill83]

Sixfields fan. You, my friend, are a bit of a bellend.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

It really is time for people to back Coventry against this scummy Cayman hedgefund.

 

[valiant15]

100% agree. Sisu are scum.

 

[ohitsaidwalker king power]

All
I'm against censorship but have asked the mods to review the inappropriate post.
Suggest for now we just argue amongst ourselves as per normal and treat it with the contempt it deserves.


SISU out!

 

[SkyblueBazza]

It's all open to interpretation. To my way of thinking...SISU have been provocative (even this latest statement), & delaying things...CCC do not appear to have changed their stance. If you want to talk about the RICOH with us...the option is to there - get in touch. SISUs game now appears to me to be an attempt to perhaps delay any future agreements that ACL might make regarding the RICOH use by any other regular use (concerts(?), rugby(?) or whatever they may be trying to rustle up). So I think CCC (AL as-in) are right to stick to their guns. Time must be running out for SISU bringing the club back to the Ricoh as contracts starting next summer will need to be wrapped up early 2014.

 

[skybluetony176]

no one cares less about it.

a bit like your opinions grendull

 

[Covstu]

They run a city that is sad, depressed, high unemployment, pot holes in almost every road, wasting money on needles town centre 'improvements' at a time the town centre is dying a slow death, the childrens services have a terrible record from Ofsted, the schools are all atrocious bar 3 or 4, the facilities for children in the city are disgusting. The roads are dangerous, the elderly are left to freeze with no local authority help, try having Alzheimers and watch the council come after your house after working all your life.. and the list goes on and on and on - the disgraceful service our local authority provides in Coventry - and you misses the point - its about those in glass houses - shouldn't throw stones! so get off your high horse and stop trying to be emotive over something you clearly do not understand properly

so fuck off out the city and give us all peace.

 

[ohitsaidwalker king power]

That's very dismissive of Coventry citizen G?

Business performance pound land v ccfc headed by SISU probably concludes pound for pound(scuse pun) those budget marketeers have the edge?

 

[sixfieldsfan]

No quibble about you cause mate - but wtf does this have to do with CCFC & the Ricoh specifically?
There are loads of other drains on the council budget that could be targeted & some more easily justified as targets...maybe this is just the highest profile & easier publicity for you?

to clarify SkyblueBazza im talking about the fact that the council are absolutely hardball, they could not care less about the club or the fans, like they dont care about children, the elderly and the infirm, the homeless and those in need, they are so inadequate - you have to know of the cases we see to realise just how terrible the council are - im not advertising the campaign friend. Im so sick of hearing about the big bas sisu and otium - the council have been wholly to blame for this debacle from the very start - you can not beat the local authority - they will never give in - that is the way of the country now - they are so powerful now. Thats waht i need to clarify - this is a game for Ms Lucas nothing more, its about her power -- read her list - she is living in cloud cuckoo land demanding the billionaire Joy Sepalla make herself available for the leader of the council. who does Anne think she is? the Queen?

COMPARE

Think Joy has time for someone who has never worked a day in her life???!?!?!?

 

[dongonzalos]

A deadline

Superb Joy put your best bid in or agree a long term rent deal before Jan 31st.

Finally this rubbish will be over one way or the other

 

[duffer]

I have fought the council in Judicial Reviews and County Court Cases and i can assure you Coventry City Council is one of the worst local authorities in the country

Really - can you provide a link to one of the cases you've been involved in please? I think you're lying, frankly, but I'm always happy to proven wrong.

You don't have to surrender your anonymity for this, obviously. Many JR judgements seem to be anonymised, as below, and I'm presuming that you weren't the directly injured party in any case. Just dig us one of those out.

Actually Ann Lucas has more power than the Queen. She is our elected representative, and some of your remarks show very little regard for our democratic processes.

I fail to see what the mini this is your life episode featuring Joy and Ann has to do with anything.

Im also confused as to what your point is as well if I'm being honest.

You claim to be annoyed about council cuts, yet seem to want them to give away a multi million pound venue for free?

Typical Politician tit for tat.

Not interested in the Club and gave us a -10 points.

Timmy, lets be clear. The CCC did not give City the 10 pts deduction. JS SISU and you Timmy did.

Clr Lucas is a City fan of Many years standing. JS is an invisible character who admits to not knowing or caring about football, and didn't even take part in the purchase of the Club. That says it all really
And as for tit for tat. Remind me who came out with the statement to the CT that is now being seen as factually incorrect and just Bluster.

Timmy boy, have a chat with the wench. Tell her to get her arse up to Coventry and talk to Clr Lucas. We the people of Coventry Challenge her to put her verbosity and bluster aside and talk. Something she seems to have neither the spine nor wisdom to do

anyone can dig out a judgement from Bailie, family law week and family law, or from justice. it doesnt prove anything as im not going to name myself, due to the numbscull arseholes on here
