It was pretty much based around SISU's skeleton argument Nick and a piece with Rob about expressing Pressure through the Elections .
Made reference to paying £14.4M. for something that had been valued @ £6.4M.
Missed it

Felt it failed to meet Darryl's usual standard, showing clip of July march on Broadgate just before Rob Stevens implied he has some popular support, he doesn't.
The march was not anything to do with him and the public speakers at Broadgate were all clear that SISU were the guilty party.
Yeah, that nikki sinclaire is a hero

So who did the Yorkshire Bank reject the bids of £6M and £12M from? Was it SISU or the council?
Seems to me that though the council valued it at £6.4M, if the bank was owed more they would surely want to hold out for a bigger sum.
Of course they would. I'm sure the taxpayer of Coventry is thrilled the council paid twice over the odds so they can enjoy the community asset.
Is rob Stevens the guy who posts on here as RobS?
You missed the question. I was asking who made the bid - SISU or the council. Wasn't debating if it was right or wrong.

Edit: Woohoo! No 10 character limit!
Slightly bizarre seeing yourself interviewed outside the Houses of Parliament. Pity you can't see the club badge on my shirt.
I'm glad Darryl used that clip of the interview as I'm checking all of the protests that have been made by all fans groups rather than just ours.
It's one thing that we will keep coming back to because we think that it is important to keep the message out there that all sides in this dispute should be held to account and part of sorting this out. Focussing on just the Council or just Sisu or just the Football League etc. isn't going to work.
The reason we set up GCBTTR was to fill the 'gap in the market' as far as the council is concerned in all of this, but we are happy to support Trust, KCIC etc. initiatives as it is all part of getting us back home.
You mean gcbttr as long as the council gives a Cayman Island hedge fund the keys to the arena?
As a rate payer in this city im 100% against it.
Well clearly you are perfectly happy we are at Sixfields then.
Yes im over the moon.
Why should the council gift them the arena?
Why not wait until after the JR when they realise they won't get the arena then they will piss off.
I couldn't care if they gifted in them and stuck a ribbon on top. Football back in Coventry is my only interest.

As a group we're calling for negotiations based on independent valuations. Certainly no giveaways!
It's important to consider not only the value of the Ricoh Arena as an asset but the value it brings in to the city. With our football club, concerts and lots of other stadium events back in, it will bring millions more to an area of the city that desperately needs it.

Council. We don't know what Sisu said when they approached them (as I understand they did but haven't seen/heard the evidence).
Well clearly you are perfectly happy we are at Sixfields then.
Anybody said anything about giving it away?
And here is the problem. One side has the club, one side has the stadium. The club side can go and build a new one, the stadium side can do other things with the stadium. In the meantime, our club is playing in a dump 35 miles away.
You know the really annoying thing? We've seen from recent disclosures that the Higgs' share of ACL could have been sold, which would have prevented all this subsequent mess, except that there was an impasse over the value (Higgs wanted £5.5m, Sisu offered £2m after due diligence) and the Council were going to veto the sale anyway.
So now millions are being lost by businesses and business taxes lost to the city.
The Council tried to force Sisu to offload the club and failed. We have a JR coming up to decide the legality of what they did but no matter what the outcome, Sisu still own the club. The club had another 10pts deducted this season in a further attempt to damage the owners and we as fans are being denied the chance of a playoff attempt because of that.
Meanwhile, the income to the city is down by millions because the club isn't there so the city is already out of pocket and that will continue.
For the good of the city, the club, the fans and the owners, a deal needs to be struck. It's a compromise deal to be sure but it is a deal that gets us out of this mess without dragging it on. The city can get an income boost, we get our team back & Sisu get the chance to recoup some of the £millions and move on. Or we can keep squabbling about it all and spend 5 years building a stadium somewhere else whilst our support collapses.
This is why we believe that the Council needs to be held to account for their part. We can hit a business like Sisu in the pocket but with the Council it is at the ballot box.
