    Joy Seppela

    When I first saw the photos, I was reminded of the Countess of Ross - when I used to drink in there they had a blowsy barmaid who is a dead ringer for Seppala.

    Judicial review day 3 - judgement day

    Sounds as if SISU have finally found something they are good at. They couldn't attract crowds to the Ricoh, they couldn't attract crowds to Sixfields but they have finally managed to pack out a courthouse.

    Joy Seppela

    There seems to be a school of thought that Seppala is smart and sharp and that the CCFC fiasco is either an aberration or a finely tuned plan that is beyond the wit of most to understand. Isn't it more likely that the seemingly stupid and incompetent actions we have witnessed from SISU are not...

    Judicial review thread - day 2

    I do like the fact that the council QC is appearing to take the piss whenever the question of which SISU company was responsible for the lease crops up. His, apparent, confusion only mirrors what others have been through.

    Judicial review thread - day 2

    If ACL are repaying capital and interest, then that works out at about 5% return on capital. A good deal when the council can borrow this money at little more than 2%.

    And from someone whose username is an anagram of @lesreidp(olitic)s - funny that.

    Judicial Review thread

    I fear that SISU winning this JR, however unlikely, could be very bad news for CCFC. The latest rental offer would surely have to be revised and not just because ACL may have higher interest payments on a refinanced loan. If the loan to ACL is considered as 'state aid', then surely any rental...

    First language not English, throwing the race card about - it's Sepp Blatter!

    Judicial Review thread

    'The judge interrupted him to ask if it mattered, saying: "Does it affect the issue of state aid?"' Has anything we have heard today any bearing on the issue of state aid? It comes across as one big whinging session from SISU blaming everybody else for their own inability to strike a deal with...

    Judicial Review thread

    In summary, I think we have learned this morning that: ACL would be in financial trouble if CCFC stopped paying rent. ACL would be worth less if it was in financial trouble. Shocking revelations if true. Do SISU have any more bombshells?

    wouldn't like Pressley's Job

    RFC, you've eventually got something right - tomorrow is another day. And here is me thinking lucky: I am thinking of the judge walking into court tomorrow and, underneath his gown, he is wearing a SISU OUT T-shirt.

    Bid for Wilson knocked back

    "I am a senior executive on a six figure salary and employ minions earning £50k p.a. I also spend all day, every day, posting on an internet football forum". Do behave!

    Save the date: Fans forum booked for Fri 27 June @ 7pm, Coundon.

    So council officers, council members, ACL, Joe Elliot and Gary Hoffman have been invited. What do any of them know of plans for the new stadium or the state of CCFC’s finances? On the other hand, the person who has presided over our relocation to Northampton, our relegation to the third...

    SISU and the Oscars

    I noticed earlier this evening that Cardiff had received £62m for just being in the Premier League this last season and, while an ambitious owner of a football club might look at that figure and dream, CCFC fans are stuck with SISU and their obsession with the pie money. It reminded me of a...

    Question for OSB58 about CCFC accounts

    Just a guess here, but I suspect that none of the prime movers, or most of their followers, live in Coventry and so are not qualified to stand. Brian (err) Patton made himself available because their platform is, err, anti-council and he has a certain, err, credibility. (For the record, I no...

    Council and Sky Blues in court tomorrow

    I suspect if you had to read the crap in it you would be even more pissed.

    Council and Sky Blues in court tomorrow

    "CCFC QC arguing for Ms Seppala's witness statement to be submitted. Judge trying to ascertain how it would be relevant/useful" And perhaps, given her track record, if there is a word of truth in it.

    Council and Sky Blues in court tomorrow

    Yes, that’s the problem on here, mostly with people that say they “only support the club”. They seem to be very interested in the minutiae of the workings of a stadium management company and their finances, but never ask any hard questions of the owners. Here’s an idea – why not put pressure on...

    Council and Sky Blues in court tomorrow

    I understand that SISU are looking for proof that the council paid for the SISU OUT balloon stuck by PWKH under Fisher’s windscreen wiper. That’s all this has ever been about – SISU want to show there was a conspiracy to belittle Fisher (by comparing him to a half deflated balloon) and see the...
