Aye...cos no-one cuts straight though all the shit & gets results quicker than a bunch of MPs returning after summer recess....

This calls for more immediate discussion (anyone prepared ot second this resolution?)

"Tut, tut. Bad show that Coventry City business, isn't it?. What's for lunch, I wonder? "

Discussed.

Sent from my phone using my chubby sausage fingers so please excuse any errors.

Keeping it in the public eye is no bad thing, surely? A little bit of pressure on all sides, but especially the FL, couldn't hurt - imho.

Excellent.. is this in the full chamber?

Nick · Jul 29, 2014

More people will probably want to listen to this than the first league game.

Glass half full- Its taken 12 months 2 court cases an attempted appeal and 2 marches but finally what SISU have done is getting national exposure. MPs only like their names linked with the positive, we could be heading back.
Glass half empty - Nothing moves fast if you are an MP, they are probably only beaten by the Football League for timescale and eventually all we get is lip service and another public denouncement of SISU. Followed by Fisher claiming they also are wrong. Status Quo.

Lets hope that the football league do not make an example of the owners and hit the team with a another large points deduction when finally grow a collective pair.

Good news
But ,as is the usual case , people straight away dismiss it as a waste of time . Methinks some people are wanting the shennanigans to continue

Probably in the small chamber. The one with the urinals.

torchomatic · Jul 29, 2014

I guess so. ACL, CCC, SISU, FL. Those are the only parties I'm interested in discussing our issue.

I doubt this will add any pressure to any of the sides involved. It didn't last time.

So does this make the e-petition defunct (regardless that no one has touched it for a few months) as it's mission achieved....discussion in parliament?

Get them on Jeremy Kyle; that'd get national exposure. Labrovich shouting from the 'green room' whilst Ann Lucus is having her say; a statement read out on a card from No-Show Joy, and a DNA text for 'RFC' proving he's Fisher's love child...

If the house is full, will it be a mass debate?

No I expect the chambermaid will have empted it.:claping hands:

You've got me. I want all this bollocks to continue. Hercule Poirot strikes again.

The only people who can realistically put pressure on the FL (apart from the clubs) is the government. Yes it works slowly and yes it's frustrating. But every time this is discussed it's another reminder to the FL that they need to get their act together or they won't be around much longer.

torchomatic · Jul 29, 2014

LOL! I can imagine a minister saying that to the FL while wagging his finger. What nonsense.

Yeah fine, let them debate but it won't change a thing.

If that is true as an owner you would need to really think hard about what damage your actions have done

WiganSkyBlue · Jul 29, 2014

I wonder if Joy's time on the City takeover panel (that's the City of London, nothing to do with football) is now limited with all this exposure.

Warwickshire Tories getting in on the act against a capitalist hedge fund, and Labour MP's starting to flex their muscles for a return to government (maybe), it could be that with the spotlight on SISU capital, that her mates in high circles will put the pressure on her to get things sorted.

Well ................. one lives in hope!

Could this result in repurcussions from FIFA if the government are considered to be meddling in the running of football in England. SISU may then get more bad press if it results in English teams expulsion from European and National football.

Whoopey do, I expect them to have a bit of chat about it, say it's wrong, then do nothing.

Fuller story on this here for anyone who might like to take a look:

The Football Authorites are wary of more government interference.

They have to demonstrate that they can keep their house and the financial regulation in order.

Ccfc is a clear example of a failed policy particularly in respect of the weakly implemented "fit and proper" test.

The more our MPs can ramp up the scrutiny the more likely it is that the FL will grow a pair.

so by the sound of things, its more about 'lets try not to make the same mistakes'. Horse and bolted come to mind...
