The strangest thing of all of this is Anderson refusing to engage. You've said repeatedly that you don't get why the other side don't put it down in writing and have somehow spun this into some bizarre conspiracy theory. If I'd agreed to attend a meeting and one of the parties didn't show I...

You honestly think that would be a reasonable approach for something you're desperate to save? Going to an initial meeting and throwing out specific demands as your opening gambit. Great way to build bridges that. However, at least you'd have got though the door - something Anderson...

Do you think Anderson should have gone to the meeting even without the requested information having been provided?

No - you can keep saying it, but no. Anderson pulled out of a meeting - the person responsible for the Academy - the man in charge - the face of CCFC. The situation were faced with is based on his choice. Do you think Anderson should have gone to the meeting even without the requested...

You can go over the same points as many times as you want, but Anderson had an opportunity to meet with the parties involved and refused to. This simply can't be justified taking into account he apparently wants to keep the Academy. So at the start he said he wanted everything in writing...

Right, Anderson bailed out of the meeting, he's confirmed that, he's also confirmed it was because he hadn't had a letter. That's nothing to do with PR, that's down to Anderson making a decision which is unjustifiable in the situation. Thankfully the majority of people here are seeing the...

You think planners don't have face-to-face meetings? You're now stating there "is more to this" rather than it just being your opinion? Where's the bad attitude towards CSF and Wasps? Anderson/CCFC have ballsed this up - they're the only party who are going to lose out and playing their...

Yes - childish and unprofessional. As albatross correctly pointed out, imagine trying to present this as the reason a project hasn't moved forward.

Absolutely 100% not understandable. He's apparently desperate to keep the Academy and to date all he's managed is to moaned about the situation via the media, sent a letter and requested a reply. It's apparently the heart of the club and every day that ticks by is another towards its...

So, the sum total of CCFC's actions to retain the "heart of the club" is sending a letter and requesting a reply! Blimey, now that's real effort! Seriously, they need to calm themselves down. I think most, as demonstrated by the replies here, would have attended the meeting. Requesting...

So you've quoted my questions but haven't answered them. So - Do CSF stand to lose out from this situation? What have CCFC actually done proactively to keep the Academy?

Do CSF stand to lose out from this situation? What have CCFC actually done proactively to keep the Academy?

Thanks for that - taking the statement from CCFC into account I'd thought specific reference had been made to the Academy. I've made contact with the Planning Officer to clarify - "Proposed extension to AHC and CCFC Academy App Ref: FUL/2016/1458 Site: Allard Way Coventry CV3 1HW Proposal...

Doesn't explain why Anderson refused to attend the meeting. The prerequisite that they have to provide this information before he'll meet demonstrates he's creating barriers. What have CCFC actually don't proactively to keep the Academy?

Genuine question, is anyone able to point me in the direction of this - "We are aware that Coventry Council planners have also noted the absence of any proposal for the football Academy in Wasps' planning application and have since sought written proposals from Wasps for the football academy."

His Tweets present an air of authority but it's obvious that nobody from the organisations he berates gives two stuffs about his opinions. Also, from a journalist perspective his lack of balance is absolutely ridiculous and why his views aren't taken seriously. However, he's Tweets are...

Going to the meeting was a very easy thing to do. The obstacle has been presented by Anderson - there was an opportunity to move things forward and he refused to engage. What have CCFC actually done proactively to keep the Academy?

You can keep reiterating this point, but had he bothered to attend the meeting he'd be fully aware. The only ones who stand to loose out here are CCFC. That is of course if they actually want to retain the Academy. The recent actions would indicate they don't. Anderson has called his own...

I've not said build there, I've agree the pitches there could be used.
