Read your posts. That's my sides gone again.
Don't worry your sides will be healed if you bother your arse to read my post from yesterday. Saying I fully expect SISU to win the appeal today. Then I expect the next stage to be the same outcome.
Then another 2 years of JR2. Whikst we languish in Division 3.
This JR and JR2 are unwinable.
I must say I'm surprised.
The judges today appear to have completely dismantled the defence of 'protecting a public asset'. The appeal will be interesting.
Not sure why the NOPM brigade are jumping on it s their latest excuse.
so when the cet are getting excited over random figures wasps throw them, they aren't true?
If acl was doing as well as the cet make out, the tax payer are losing out for what was paid
But that doesn't matter. Because everything Wasps says is spin isn't it?
I assume it is 100% fact the way it goes unchallenged and there is no way the media could catch them out.
I write whatever they tell me to.

If I were the council I'd be less worried about the fact that the appeal is being allowed, there was always a chance of that, and more concerned with comments made by the judge today. They seemed fairly dismissive of the original decision.
Should the council be eventually found to be in the wrong what would the consequences be for the likes of Lucas, Reeves and West? Assume they would all lose their jobs but could they be in serious trouble?

Bursting at the seams with all the shit no doubt. Post more often thats when you seem to release it.Read your posts. That's my sides gone again.
Whatever you say about councils, whether pro or anti public service... one thing they tend to get right is procedure!
Having worked for a period of my working life in the public sector, I think I missed the odd occasion when we did get procdeure right, perhaps its changed now under Ann 'Greater Birmingham' Lucas
Ha, perhaps I'm lucky enough to work next to a committed proceduralist then(!)
Notice the pro-council old sky blue has been very quiet within his thread following findings?
Is he in the council and if so has he been implicated......??
OSB is not in the Council but not unconnected
And where would that have left the Higgs Charity? With nothing to show for the £6m they paid to a cash-strapped Coventry City (under previous ownership) in return for a half stake in the stadium operator.
Ouch.

I still don't get if (and it is a huge if) SISU win then why it isn't the council that are baddies for doing something wrong?
Surely it should be "Council messed up and cost the tax payers hundreds of millions"?

The council may have tried to seize an opportunity.
However, if our club had been managed correctly, or if, like most of us would have preferred, we stayed at HFR (so many ifs, I know!) We wouldn't be talking about this rubbish!
Can't we send Robinson all the bills?

I think he would forward some of them To Richardson!

Probably because the appeal hasn't been heard yet and the council may not be baddies as you put it.
I agree, it is a long way off.
So what do you think about the stories about tax payers losing out on millions of pounds or the tax payer paying for SISU's new stadium? Plenty of speculation about how the tax payer is going to feel it in the pocket if SISU were to win.
The Taxpayer loosing out is a distinct possibility. I doubt that will be enough to build a stadium. Might be that the settlement if SISU win is payed in land rather than cash but I can't see SISU going for that. Most likely outcome if SISU win is that any damages awarded to the club (I'm assuming CCFC will be listed as an interested party in any compensation case that follows as they have been throughout the JR) will pay of some or all of the SISU/ARVO debt and SISU will then sell up and Waltz of into the sunset. We could end up coming out of a SISU win still without ground ownership, still in debt (but hopefully not) but SISU gone.
I haven't suggested the tax payer will be paying for a new stadium etc. My point is that if it is OK to throw suggestions like that out there for what happens if SISU win, then surely if SISU win the council have done something wrong?
