Are you really throwing that around again? Italia in being hypocritical shocker.
Are you on the Sisu payroll ?
It shows where the emphasis (and money) will go from now on.
Court cases and challenges at the expense of the football club
Why else employ someone who has no history of running a football club business.
Anybody else getting pissed off with it all ?
There is to my knowledge only one person on here who gets a financial benefit from one of the parties involved in this sorry saga.
Yes I am pissed off with it but learning to live with it you just need to move on and leave all the off field stuff as you can do very little about it.

Stop protecting the Sisu low life.
Try saying something against Sisu if you dare.
They are holding the club to ransom and this board should be our mouthpiece not Sisu's.

...... and doesn't that upset you.ointlaugh:
Wasps turning the stadium from your 'white elephant' into what it was always meant to be and those local businessmen thriving on it. :claping hands:
Grow up.
How is that protecting anybody?
You still haven't started a thread about SISU like I said to.
You come on throwing stuff about payroll about, yet you are the one in business with Wasps?
This board is a mouthpiece of the fans. I said to you to start a thread about SISU but you haven't, have you? What are you trying to get at or achieve by keep going on about it being a mouthpiece for SISU, yet you don't do anything different about it?
He's just a hypocrite. Everyone knows it. Wasps are welcome to him.
Erm, you were the one who brought payroll into it?
You are the one on here who won't have a bad word said about Wasps, but are in business with them. Then if anybody disagrees with you they must be on SISU's payroll. Genius!
So there is a problem with doing business with Wasps?
Sisu are not doing much business so we can't do anything with them.
In fact I'm sure a lot of local businesses folded whilst they we were in Nothampton.
Sisu don't give a toss about local businesses, CCFC and more importantly the fans.
Yes I will start a thread when I can find the time so get your pro Sisu facts together.
Read back.
I criticised Sisu and then the comments come in reference Wasps.
Get your facts right.
Are you on the Sisu payroll ?
No because they were getting 100% of the stadium - half was always worthless.
So she offered them £2 million for something worthless because they are a charity?
From what I gleen from posts on here, It shouldn't matter who is working with whom. If any poster disagrees with what SISU. say, do, or don't do, they will be "Lambasted" as Italia says, simply because certain posters don't like certain posters. How many of you on this forum still ate "Pappa Johns Pizza's" when SISU took our Club to Northampton? IIRC. Now if that isn't "Pot calling Kettle" then I don't know what is!
Surely we need to at least let Sisu know we are unhappy about it.
Seems that every time someone mentions them in a negative manner 'the few' jump down your throat with 'what about the council or Higgs or Wasps'.
She offered them about the same as what was paid, value was about right. It was laughed at wasn't it?

Erm, it was started by Italia accusing somebody of being on the payroll of SISU.
I think you are missing the point as well.
If "Big Dave" was working with SISU, let's say for example he owned a hotel and 70 - 80% of his business was done via SISU. Then he came on here and his views and morals completely changed to those previously now he is doing that business.
I am sure there would be outrage...

I asked if it was Laura Derling who suggested that SISU offered £2 million for something completely worthless purely because the Higgs were a charity?
The reply I got was "why because she was right. "
So I am asking was she right then, did SISU offer £2 million for something worth nothing because a charity was selling it?
on the matter of the actual price paid (the diversion attempt) It was sold in the end for nearly 40% more than that offer.
Ermmmm... How many times is Italia attacked for going to watch "Wasps"?(I personally wouldn't dream of it) Yet curl up in their shells when the "Loyal" 1k fans followed CCFC to Northampton. In my eyes it was an act of disloyalty to the City of Coventry, but woe betide anyone that said/thought anything detremental to those CCFC fans.
Not what she said though. The value wasn't about right because she clearly said it was worthless.
I was on about the offer, which was about right.
It wasn't diversion was it? It was quite factual?
At the time, the £2m that was offered to Higgs for their share was outrageous and all of the kids of Coventry were going to starve to death. It had to be the formula value or £5m plus.
Then it sells for £2.7 (or around that) and all is hunky dory.
That share on it's own wouldn't do much would it? Wasps needed it though to get 100% control.
But you said the value not the offer. That's a big difference when the offer has basicaly been described by the people that made it as a charitable donation.
They valued it at zero pounds, it's all in the court papers.
I clearly meant the value of the offer.... As in the money offered.
Actually Nick we dont know it was about right. That was a verbal offer in 2012 and the Wasps deal was (a) in 2014 and (b) at least £1.5m more in total value plus add ons. Se ppalas "offer"wasnt as such an indication of true value but take it or leave it. In any case a lot happened between 2012 and 2014 that affected the value of the ACL shares and therefore the two "values" are not linked
The verbal "offer" by Seppala was never accepted in fact it was rejected out of hand
Of course you did.
By the way can you clarify exactly what business arrangement does Italia have with Wasps?
Yes it was a couple of years later and things had changed.
Did Wasps pay Higgs at least £3.5m for their share? I know there is the addon about ticket sales also.
