    Close but not too close. Apparently a coat hanger dipped in boiling water is not a good cure for the clap.

    Exciting times...on my way to court. No matter what happens today, I've already heard the worst story I'll hear this year. Pro tip: Don't let a nurse tell you stories from work.

    Early start down the pub? Didn't say that. No idea what you're talking about. Woah there. What are you implying? Or are you one of the idiots who prefer your journalists to purely reflect your own limited knowledge and received wisdom rather than have someone who will challenge all sides and...

    You know, you are perfectly at liberty to start up your own campaign with these specific aims & objectives.

    Jesus, read the thing. We are not saying 'sell to Sisu'. We are saying 'negotiate with all possible ownership scenarios.' A lot of regular fans don't care about who owns what – they want their club back in the city. Negotiating – no matter how icky and distasteful some anti-Sisu fundamentalists...

    No it's not. There were discussions back in November when the JR appeal was pending and there have been attempts to start discussions recently. There is nothing to stop any negotiations to bring the club back to the Ricoh happening right now. The could all nip over to the pub when this session...

    I think we're a little late for the JR bit. :D I don't think there's anything wrong with Sisu going in with 'unencumbered freehold' and the council with 'rent' at the top of their lists as long as as many other options are on the table and can be sensibly negotiated. It's the negotiations that...

    The article has been corrected so there you go (& fair play to the CT). Don't forget that Paul Harris said that he had assurances from Chris West that Sisu were aware of what was going on. BTW, I'm not giving any favour to Sisu's conspiracy story, just pointing out inconsistencies in...

    From our original petition back in Oct 2013: 'This independent campaign is not “pro-Sisu”, but recognises all parties must urgently resume talks over stadium revenues and ownership – not simply a return to having the club as tenants. Many fans believe whoever owns the club should own the...

    Are you sure? Martin Reeves is ex- from Feb this year but I think CW is still on the board. Current list is: Mr Peter Wyndham Knatchbull-Hugessen 19 Dec 2003 — Present (10 years, 5 months, 22 days) Ms Marilyn Freda Knatchbull Hugessen 27 Jan 2006 — Present (8 years, 4 months, 14 days) Mr...

    Useful that you've pulled out this. In Keith Perry's CT article today Sisu are claiming the council’s decision to make the loan (to be repaid over 40 years) was irrational and motivated by a desire to “drive Sisu out of Coventry and force Sisu to sell to new owners”. The conspiracy argument...

    This all has to be answered as part of Sisu's case. I'm not giving their argument any support or credence, just explaining what I think it is. TBH, the only way to really find out is to be in the court and pore over the papers afterwards. (Thankfully my suitcase has returned so I may yet get to...

    I think the angle is that the council wanted Sisu to carry on funding the club until such time that the 'new ownership project' could be fully activated. Allegedly. Is anyone reporting any evidence being read into court?

    I'll take this in the Cyndi Lauper sense but unfortunately cannot reciprocate.
