Dave Boddy - Time To Go? (1 Viewer)

[Grendel]

it's quite incredible that for all the years of tenancy agreements and F and B deals, leases, golden shares etc that its looks like it will be the state of the fucking pitch that rings it all crashing down.

Bit like a pincher movement

It's pretty simple in the immediate future - we don't have a pitch to play on. Would the clowns who lost their money in the past just write it off?

 

[stupot07]

No it isn’t there is blame there but not 100% we knew or should of when & what was due to played on that pitch, we knew our fixture list, someone at the club should have had the nous to find out what the pitch conditions were like. I think that is how the EFL will see it. Even at amateur level your home game has to be confirmed a week before or used to be.

They only had to turn on bbc one or look at twitter, we all knew the state of the pitch. There was a thread in here the first day the games were taking place. The inspected it the first chance they had, and have been in constant dialogue with the EFL about it. The EFL know its out of our hands, and even commissioned their own report by an independent specialist.

So you think had say SISU employed another CEO instead of him, we would be in the Chanpionship, on the back of a top half finish, with a few top draw players, but we would be in a better position off the field? Bearing in mind who is above Dave?

@Grendel

It makes no difference who the CEO is for league standing - then by the same standing you have to say Tim Fisher is the best chairman in the history of the club.

Is he?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Of course he was under instruction. The owners saw this coming and told Boddy to sit on his hands.

I really don’t think so

 

[Super Graham Withey]

The club aren’t blameless. If there was an agreement to relay a new pitch in the Summer, why has it got to this point?

Surely in the summer as the months passed by no one from the club questioned when it would be done?

Not questioned as all part of the game.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

There is a simple question that needs answering and that can only come from Dave Boddy, & that’s when will our home pitch be ready, he should know now. At the least an estimate will do.

He said today it won’t be without having the pitch being relaid

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I really don’t think so

Laugh if you like

“It’s ridiculous. It’s a ridiculous situation. People are saying, ‘it’s not my fault,’ ‘it’s not my fault.’ We need a football pitch. It was part of the agreement to get back into Coventry. It was the stadium that was built for us and we can’t play there, so that’s the feeling of everybody.

“It’s an utter disgrace that we are this point in time because of the amount of work that goes on and continues to go on. You just need that little bit of assistance from someone, whoever it is, but they need to sort it out quickly, to say ‘right, there’s a new pitch going in there.’ I don’t know when that can be. I know there are pitches that they lay and play in a week after or even a few days afterwards, so that should be an option for us.

Another question: Where is our chairman ? He is an officer of the club the official top honcho and owes an explanation as much as anybody. This is a very serious situation.
Perhaps our local newspaper can dig him out.

this situation, any situation, can only worsen by involving Fisher.

Professional companies work by well defined contracts which specify requirements in detail along with responsibilities, timescales and penalties. They have reviews and monitor them.
Then there’s this shower that whine about ‘it’s not my fault’, ‘need that little bit of assistance from someone’, ‘I don’t know when’.
They are a total embarrassment.

Ultimately it doesn't matter who the public face is as long as we have these owners.

At what point have I said Boddy is the best in the history? Honestly what the hell is wrong with you?

Stop answering questions with childish, I’ll-thought out replies. Answer the questions.

Fuck me... could local radio sink any lower?!!

The answer is simple - or should be
When the landlord who has been paid to provide a resource actually delivers
The club can take all the legal routes it wants but does not control the timing

A group of Bondholders are owed over £35m and have been trying for 4 months to do something similar

 

[Tommo1993]

Only just caught up with Robins’ post match interview. His frustration and lack of patience didn’t seem entirely directed towards Wasps, which I’m glad about. Pressure should be on all parties to sort it out.

 

[rob9872]

Boddy is simply a mouth piece between the owners and the fans with no real clout. He's probably out of his depth at this level, but he's cheap and they'd only replace like for like and he seems a genuinely nice fella, so I'd likely stick with him for now.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

A new pitch and a pay rise for Boddy ffs, won’t anybody think of the team?

 

[better days]

Ridiculous scapegoating Dave Boddy
The fault lies mainly with the CWG
They couldn't give a monkey's how they left the pitch
All they cared about was getting their event on

So then it’s a chat for Wasps as owners of the stadium with DCMS to pay out on some insurance for the way they left the pitch?

 

[David O'Day]

!!!! Exactly, has to go now

Was it not the regular groundstaff for the CWG? Didn't watch any of the rugby and wouldn't recognise the ground staff anyway but it was definitely the regular Edgbaston crew there who ensured everything was ready for the games that followed once the CWG had finished.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I’ve now had a chance to listen to Dave’s interview. Couple of things happening which we need to see outcomes on:

1)once the pitch is ‘safe’ to play it means we can play home games. It will be a shit pitch but that’s what it will be.

2) Boddy mentioned they’re activating a dispute resolution clause in the license they have to play at the cbs. 3rd party adjudication of what the outcome is…i.e Wasps must put a new pitch in or not.

Ultimately this will come down to a ‘safe’ shit pitch for the season or there will be a new lay and play pitch.

I think we are quite a long way from moving to a new stadium for the season (not that it’s that easy to sign up to do so).

Let’s see what next week brings.

 

[Great_Expectations]

This thread is agenda city and it’s embarrassing.

Great to see a few alt accounts have outed themselves though.

This Boddy out narrative is boring. Can’t wait for the usual suspects (or singular with alts) to start the annual MR out narrative.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Boddy is a clown writing e-mails should be kicking in doors and demanding action.

Surely the pitch was poor before they even took it over though? Hence city telling them it needed to be relaid

 

[Sick Boy]

A new pitch and a pay rise for Boddy ffs, won’t anybody think of the team?

Isn’t he the one who was going on about the SISU masterclass?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Dave Boddy is the least of our problems the only focus should be the pitch.

 

[Moff]

So if Boddy went, and it took the club a month or several months to recruit a replacement, are we happy for Fisher to then step in and take over.

Careful what you wish for.

What difference would it make?
