Astute, I'd go along with 99% of what you say. I want our club back at the Ricoh as much as anyone. I preferred HR. Felt it could have been developed. In the way Liverpool are doing. Buying houses around the ground etc. But that's gone. Sadly.
The Council have helped this club. It is only because the club was run poorly that they had to sell off any rights they had on moving to the Ricoh. (I must add, poor gates from about 1975, through the years to now, haven't helped. For a City like Coventry, sometimes, a lot, they have been abysmal).
It seems Sisu, a private company with the sole aim of profit, want all these things back for a song. The Council are quite right to stand firm. I'm sure they are willing, even now after the awful way Sisu have conducted themselves, to work some kind of deal to get us back in Coventry. Something that they and Sisu can build on. Sepalla just doesn't realise the money to be made by being sensibly proactive. Her tactics are so weird, so mad, it leaves the suspicion that there is some tax dodge, money shifting thing going on that us mere non financial experts can't grasp.
