Why would James have heard the meetings took place?

Who has, it certainly has been a private & restricted audience? Has the SBT been consulted, has the London Supporters group been consulted?

Yes. Secrecy and division amongst the fans.

That's what this fiasco needs some more of.

So unless Ml invited every fan who went to the JPT semi last year to a small gathering to brainstorm a forum format its dividing fans? Oh dear I can tell you are a teacher and do not work in the real world.

I'm not sure how you can interpret this part of the Telegraph story much different James, have you heard about these small meetings Labovich has had?
The only people mentioned as invited are representatives of organisations who are unlikely to attend due to the upcoming court case and Hoffman & Elliott who no longer have anything to do with the club.

It still doesn't mean that the people attending will be sycophants or chosen for that reason. It could be that they're just trying not to invite the people who Tim met after the Brentford match.

There is still such a concept in this country as innocent until proven guilty, and past performance is no guarantee of future behaviour.

Nope. I've been chucked out of the usual suspects gang. I'm joining Rich and Jack in the Droning On About Sphinx/Cov Utd/AFC gang.

Come and work with me for Weber Shandwick mate. They give you a list of approved words that you get a bonus for if you squeeze them into a post. I was at Shitfields today to watch Sisue FC with the other spineless sycophants. Cashback!

Should join me in the 'I love SISU' fan club. We celebrate how good the atmosphere is at Fortress Sixfields. We are organising a demonstration at the CCC offices and will be getting people to go against councilors at the elections. This will make them give the Ricoh to our hero's SISU so they can make money for their investors.

Nice try, but I've done my time in industry as well (was a damn sight easier TBH).

I'd just like something similar to every other fans consultation: public notice, open application process, people told what is being talked about.

If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide ;)

That's not going to work. Calling people selfish is the only sure fire way. FACT.

:claping hands: Yes you are correct Grendel I did attend one of those meetings with 4 other fans.:claping hands:

To be fair they were all Anti sisu in varying degrees and it was all financial stuff as well as blaming all in sundry except themselves.
Got to be honest all a bit above my and others heads wasted 4 hours of my life that I will never get back.
On the plus side it Was nice to meet some other City fans none of which I have meet before.

It was not what I really expected asked questions got the usual answers If their is a forum based on these meetings I will leave it to those brighter then me luckily one was an accountant so he never got it all his own way.:D

And I even forgot my whistle as was in a bit of a rush.........

Well one poster said the other day he met him...and I would hardly describe him in such terms.

You should know you are now a sycophant according to the wise words of Jack Griffin.
You should also note it's one step away from being a usual suspect ;)

So you have to have lots of mini fans forums to decide how to conduct a large fans forum?

Surely how to conduct a fans forum should not be too hard?

Yes just Labovitch meet in the bar at the Chesford.

Started off and he went thou the History of why they brought the club etc
He then said about why they expected to win the JR and kept bringing up the E-mails that came out at the last court case and how the council wanted to buy the club on the cheap by distressing Sisu.

Said that Joy went to the council to apologise about how sisu had acted under Deluded and Co and that she had now taken over at that time relationship was pretty good.


Questions asked
1 Are you going to build a stadium?
A. usual we need to own the stadium so if we do not return to the Ricoh we will have to.

Q you keep on talking about how the council are paying a PR company to promote there side why is it you have no PR whatsoever?
A, that was what he was brought in too do(bit of an own goal)

Q.Why don't you speak to the trust when they are the biggest fans base organisation?
A because he didn't trust them all.

Q why not speak to the ones you do?
A will try to.

Q. Why don't you speak to CCC to try and get back to the Ricoh?
A. Have tried on numerous occasions but they won't speak to us.

Q. Why do you not make this publc then so that fans can make up there own minds if the council refuse?
A. not the way we do things but will have to take it on-board.

Q.Why don't you want a lease but only want to buy?
A We would love a long lease we don't need to own it but we need the revenue which will not happen while ACL are there.

Q. But you wanted to bring in AEG to do the same job as ACL so what is the difference?
A I have worked for AEG they would make it a more profitable place.
There were plenty of Financial questions and answers but to be honest I had given up the will to live by that time as he is rather boring and his shifty eyes make him hard to believe. But he seemed to believe it himself so who knows.
Funny he did say that the council would have to take money away from children services to pay for it all we had to laugh when the reply came back a bit like sisu taking money from a children's charity then. To which he had to apologise.....

We all agreed that Sisu had to be more transparent and had to get the fans on there side if they ever expect to succeed and if they want to sell the club.
This means more PR and talking to the fans.

But first and foremost they need to get back to the Ricoh.
You need to make upn yur own minds whether you believe anything he says.

I for one told him that if what he did say about the council is right I am willing to swallow my pride for the sake of CCFC. Sorry can't remember it all.

Just a shame you didn't bring your whistle, we might have been able to finish at 90 minutes!

Pretty much as I saw it too, not said anything about it myself before now, as not liking to play the "know more than you card" that I personally hate.

Pretty much four hours of character assassination with a script that wasn't going to be altered whoever was there.

Whilst what he said was pretty damning for certain people and institutions, not going to give credence to it until can see supporting evidence with provenance.

If anything, the overegging of things by ML made me back away from my suspicions of wrongdoing by CCC/ACL side, but seeing how others are frantically trying to defend the position of CCC/ACL makes me look again.

Think all sides should realise that as football fans we're not stupid, and shouldn't expect us to be pawns in their stupid games, we just want a decent, viable club, playing in Coventry.

If they want to fuck about with each other, then leave us and the club out of it.
