Fucking hell! telling John about having a pop when from the bits of posts I have been bothered to read that you have made where you've been critical of ACL, CCC, CET and personal goes at Simon Gilbert. Oh yes and you usually sign off with a Sisu have been shit but then direct it all the other way without actually picking Sisu apart like you have with the other sides. Haven't seen you be critical of FL either (might be wrong because you've been rather busy of late). You claim to be a football fan but again haven't seen any posts from you about football (again may be wrong), at least everybody else on this forum talks about football sometimes.
You want a possible and simple solution to our plight, well here goes. Sisu stop fucking about and drop the JR, which might get them some praise and show they care about the football club they own and the city it is supposed to play in, if they want the Ricoh then get 3 valuations and from them get a happy medium, then make an offer for it. ACL look at the offer and either say yes, no or negotiate at which point Sisu either get round the table or fucking build Legoland. Is that not the best possible solution? Is it only Sisu/Otium who can do that? or do you still want to see ACL's books or continue to have a go at CET or Simon Gilbert? you can go around the houses all you want talking about accounts and media and councils etc but it is Sisu and Sisu alone who can start on the road back the Ricoh. This for me is where everyone's efforts need to be aimed. People can still be critical of all parties but Sisu/Otium are the ones that can bring us HOME.
Of course only SISU can bring us back, and ultimately it is them that have to have the will to do it. I can't understand why we are having all this bluster for a new stadium. The Ricoh is perfectly viable. The club does however need to have control of it's financial destiny. We can hate SISU all we want, but you cannot escape the fact that they are right about that part.
As for criticising the FL, it's all the fashionable thing to do. But in reality they have no control. Money is power, and they have about as much as we do. Sky and the PL run football in this country, and people can call the league not fit and proper, toothless and anything else but they can only work within the parameters of the law. Look at the Leeds situation to tell you exactly that. If they work outside of the law they will be sued to pieces and will be broke
One thing I will be critical of the FL is the way they structured the giving the GS. What I wish they had done is say that it will be reviewed at the end of each season, and you have to demonstrate progress in order to keep hold of it for the next season. Maybe if that had been done we may have seen more progress.
I want the same as you and every one else - CCFC back in Coventry. But perhaps we aren't getting anywhere is because the same approach keeps getting wheeled out. Are we not allowed to ask what part other parties have played in this? Every party is culpable - albeit in different proportions.
Here's a better idea. SISU drop the JR on the basis that a deal is put in place between ACL and them to give CCFC what it needs to have a sustainable future.
