If you read it not knowing his role you would think he was the council's defence lawyer!
Given the gripe I would say no. From what I read it was pure character assassination. There didn't seem to be any argument of they did this and it breaks the councils ethics code because of X, Y & Z. It was a gripe for the sake of griping, not a structured argument from what I read. Admittedly I haven't read everything but only because the tone seem to be set early doors and I turned off. There was no structure to it. Yes it was like turkeys voting for Xmas but still if you're going to do it seriously at least have a structured argument. The outcome was assured by the approach of the complaint as much as anything else.
What was termed 'matchday revenues' so you would get parking, pie money (I would assume ACLs cut after Compass as anything else wouldn't be theirs to offer), hospitality. That kind of thing. And of course that was over the original term of the lease so 40 something years.
The private company he now works for have no footprint in Coventry.
Are you sure about that? Thought it was stated first time round that he worked for a company that was employed by CCC.
Very true, he could take a leaf out of the Telegraph's book and suppress the news though ay
I might be wrong, but wasn't Reid quite anti sisu at the start?
Yes, then he had a meeting with Joy and changed completely. He has not yet disclosed what made him change his mind....
The sooner they move on the more we can get on with the football.
When Robins left didn't he say something along the lines of the council need to do more?
I absolutely wish them all the best, they work their socks off and as I’ve said before that club needs support from Coventry City Council.
Maybe he saw evidence the council aren't as rosy as first thought, who knows?
What are your thoughts on the CET suppressing news by the way?

I think it was a mixture of him meeting JS with an open mind and pressure from his them employers about what he could and couldn't do or say about the whole ccc/acl vs ccfc saga. He has since won an industrial tribunal against said employers which vindicates his stance I'd say
That's the thing isn't it.
The editor who was said to have "been on board" with PR then suddenly left the CET the same day Les Reid came back, then Reid got a payout from them...
What did Robins know? He clearly thought the club was being hard done by.
Ok so if you got you wish and all SISU emails and business was looked into by an "independent panel" of hedge fund managers you wouldn't mind if the verdict was "move along nothing to see here"? You, tony, CD, Martcov et al would do yer nuts.Surely if you are professional and accountable you just do your job.
Sounds more like sour grapes to me.

Actually if you look at Wasps previous moves the move to the Ricoh is following a very familiar path. And as we know both their previous moves saw them later walk away for a perceived better option.

He came across as biased. Leaning towards the council. That's chief daves opinion. Why are you such an obnoxious nob when people offer their thoughts to the discussion?
An opinion based on what? It's the blokes field of work, it's what he's not only qualified to do but vastly experienced in.
But let's not let truths get in the way of conspiracy theories hey.
Seem to recall similar comments when it was suggested everything wasn't quite right at the CT. Those who dared to doubt their neutrality were called tin foil hat wearers. Of course then it came out that the CT were surpressing stories to the detriment of CCFC and to the benefit of CCC and Wasps.

CCFC/Sisu knew exactly what was going on.
They would have known Wasps were homing in during the Summer.
In fact I would say it gave them the chance of getting into the Ricoh under ACL before Wasps had a say on it.
I don't know why you bother. The character you're speaking to is a buffoonIgnoring the fact that your comment has very little to do with the CT suppressing stories at the request of the council on what evidence are you basing your claims that SISU knew full details of what was happening (i.e.: Wasps were being sold ACL at a low price with a huge lease extension)?
An opinion based on what? It's the blokes field of work, it's what he's not only qualified to do but vastly experienced in. Like I said if it reads biased it's more likely that it's because he actually understands what he's doing and the complaint has no merit. He can hardly "lean" towards a complaint that has no merit can he? That's not because he's biased or secretly the councils defense lawyer. It's because the whole thing is bollocks. But let's not let truths get in the way of conspiracy theories hey.
I guarantee that if the JR appeal fails we'll have plenty of "experts" on here tell us where the judges got it wrong just as we have at the other stages. Some people clearly have trouble excepting that renowned, highly paid, highly qualified, highly experienced and highly respected individuals can't make the right decision unless it goes against the council. That's the height of obnoxiousness if you ask me.
Personally I'm willing to accept that people who have the necessary skill set and experience know better than me. Regardless of the outcome.
