Yeah, that's probably why he isn't allowed to talk.
Yeah, that's probably why he isn't allowed to talk.He's dropped a bollock there hasn't he? Just admitted that SISU has asked the council in the past about specific sites.
Should have asked about the butts, judging duggins sounding like he was going to pass out it might have needed st John's on hand.Don’t know who is conducting the interview but he is asking the right questions
He sent a solicitor because she had the authority to accept the legals being dropped.It wasn't worth going to the meeting as nothing came out of it. Maybe because you didn't turn up :emoji_rolling_eyes:
Ha I bet their Comms team are going mentalHe doesn't know if the JLR site is in Coventry or not. This is the leader of the council.
They only played a couple of minutes of it as well. Imagine if he was actually put under pressureI'm actually stunned by how bad a job he managed to make in what was a short interview with predictable questions.
That's putting it mildly.Was it what you call a "car crash" interview? I'm only just about to listen to it played back now.
If you're in any doubt still about the relationship between the council and certain fan groups you've got the leader of the council quoting Johnson as his defence for not attending the meeting!“The reason why Julie attended on behalf of the Council is as follows. The primary aim is to encourage SISU to drop all legal action and to move forward and this has been the stipulation of WASPS before any further agreement is reached, this needs to happen now as time is running out.
“It is Julie Newman as the City Solicitor and the Council’s most senior legal officer who has the authority to settle, withdraw or otherwise act as appropriate in relation to legal proceedings and to give effect to decisions to act in the Council’s interest. It would be Julie Newman who would confirm consent to the Court if any application had been made by SISU to withdraw proceedings; unfortunately SISU has chosen not to do this. You will note after yesterday’s meeting we are where we began much as I anticipated.
“I do not accept for one minute that I will be the Council Leader who will preside over Coventry City Football Club leaving the Ricoh that is a decision for the owners and the owners alone. It was they who left the Ricoh in 2013 and it will be they who can avoid a repeat in 2019. David Johnson’s excellent article points to “..enough judges to form a football team, ruling on various stages of legal action.
“I will be making a Leaders statement on Tuesday, and have a series on interviews lined up with the BBC in which all aspects of the situation will be dealt with.”
So fisherbaiter's council link and being a fellow director with Johnson is related after allSo in summary:
The council are refusing to even speak with anyone unless the legal action is dropped.
The council won't do anything to assist the club past what is required of them by law.
SISU have spoken to the council in the past about sites for building a stadium.
He doesn't know what is in the city and what is outside it.
The council have a very cosy relationship with certain fans groups.
There wasn't more than one interested buyer though. They were only interested when it was sold. They bluffed and lost. That's poker
Oh it’s a moral argument now?
Duggins says it was because she has legal authority to accept sisu dropping the legals.Julie Newman is the Council solicitor for family services, she deals with legal issues around care orders, adoption and fostering her Law Society areas of practice are Children, Family general law and Education. What exactly she brought to the party is anyone's guess.View attachment 11754
Ha I've just put it on.
He is just hiding behind the legals.
The solicitor went because she has the authority to accept sisu dropping the legals.
He sounds like he is going to pass out or has just run a marathon.
He says it wasn't a snub, it didn't need him to go.
He isn't in to gesture politics. (Strange, him chasing Aldi contradicts)
That was his words, as if she was sent to accept the legals being dropped.Erm the council's solictor has no authority whatsoever to accept SISU dropping the legals. Duggins is a liar.
Would have loved to have the reaction back at the council as they were all sat listening to the interview.It was painful listening to that and judging by it i'm not suprised he didn't go to the meeting in westminster! He has completely shot himself in the foot saying the council have been approached by SISU about a stadium.. "hes getting sacked in the morning" springs to mind.
When did this happen? Radio interview?It was painful listening to that and judging by it i'm not suprised he didn't go to the meeting in westminster! He has completely shot himself in the foot saying the council have been approached by SISU about a stadium.. "hes getting sacked in the morning" springs to mind.
The man is a complete joke. If he can't stand up to a bit of pre recorded questioning on local radio, how the hell is he fit enough to be a council leader? Just a complete shambles.
