I don't expect them to fight it. I don't expect them to shout this from the rooftops though.
If sisu have sent them a letter then there is nothing they can do about the trust telling the truth.

Remember that the Trust Board are all volunteers, who put their own time into this with no payment, no expenses. Do you seriously expect them to risk being sued?
And look at the impact the news of taking the article down has had. Not exactly gone quiet has it.

The Football League have been hammered by SISU's Lawyers and are petrified of enforcing their own rules, that will change

Sadly after this revalation I suspect that everyone will have to watch their backs - whether it's a charity set up to benefit the people of Coventry, the Trust, the council, the press, the fans etc.

It's not the first time a Coventry fan/fans have been threatened with being sued by club management. Anyone on GMK about 10 years ago will remember what I'm thinking about.

From what I remember though that was for an accusation.
This is for simply putting up a link!

I'd just like to be get this straight.
As I understand it the club have threatened to sue the Sky Blue Trust for linking to an article written by a widely respected journalist, published in The Guardian here:
http://www.theguardian.com/football...entry-city-owners-northampton-league-one-sisu
By doing that, they are clearly suggesting to the Trust that the writer of this article is not telling the truth. Most right thinking people would consider that suggestion discredits Mr Conn's reputation, and that of his paper. I'm not a lawyer, but this would seem to fit under the broad heading of defamation and libel:
http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/ltext/defamation.htm
I'd ask the Trust to pass on any correspondence relating to this matter to David Conn and The Guardian directly, and if the club has evidence of any inaccuracies in Mr Conn's article to provide it forthwith or withdraw the suggestion that Mr Conn is not telling the truth.

Wasn't it for calling someone at the club a word beginning with the letter R meaning dishonest?
This is I agree totally different.
Thing is there is nothing in the article that is arguable? He's basically stated fact of what has happened in the saga hasn't he?
So looking at it sisu don't like the truth/facts being reported by a respected publication, as they would rather have everybody believe the fisher/labovitch version of events, which themselves are open to questioning, whilst 'nasty' acl/council aren't allowed to comment.
Pots and kettles.
But remember, tim is always 'crystal clear' about everything....doesn't mean it's the truth though does it?
Labovitch used to work for Tony Blair too...make of that what you will

If tonight's interview was an example of his PR skills he clearly didn't learn much off Blair or Alistair Campbell.
Apologies if posted previously - Labovitch resignation reported by the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/sep/24/tony-blair-mark-labovitch-resignation and the Daily Mail mentions link to Blair too !!!! http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/sep/24/tony-blair-mark-labovitch-resignation

Rearrange the following letters into a word: goreu and you've got it.
Acl will have been advised of this already....the sisu pr changes week by week...Ann Lucas was the brunt of it not so long ago, not the angle is 'acl are horrible tenants, unprofessional at running the stadium and they bled club dry'...currently this is all fisher and labovitch are pushing.
It's pure spin and propaganda designed to try and gets fans on their side.
Please see through it...

Well then, that explains a lot, if she believes in fairy tales that allow you to do bad things just as long as you say sorry later........... she is knocking herself out.

Didn't TF mention last night that he was meeting the person who will oversee the new stadium and mentioned he was a lawyer by profession !!!
How many lawyers does Sisu need ?

Not read all the posts here - so apologies if I'm repeating things.
For those that haven't looked on the Sky Blue Trust site, here's their brief statement about the Guardian article and Sisu taking CCFC to the abyss.
"We have removed the link we posted to The Guardian's article on the Club of 2nd December. This is because we received a letter from the Club's lawyers informing us that if we did not do so and the Club takes legal action against The Guardian, the Club would take legal action against the Trust too."
