Sisu are not mighty and at the minute I would say the club is in a worse state then ever -- partly thanks to this clown's posturing.
Agree with it or not, what has a comment about Margaret Thatcher got to do with the destruction of Coventry City FC?
If you follow that line, any one who has been critical of Winston Churchill must be partly responsible for the destruction of Coventry Cathedral.
Nothing at all. I was answering Don's post who seems to think as he stood up to mighty SISU he can do what he likes.
That's about it
I work for the Council and we've been taking calls from the public and angry at this. Thing is Mutton emailed Cllr Chater, then Chater accidently emailed every single Councillor that Thatcher should have been hung in the 80's from the flagpole on the council house - he accidently send it to all the Councillors, including the conservative ones.
"Coun Mutton said the council "had a not for sale" policy on it's 50 per cent share"

A few weeks after the talks went down the pan he said that hell would freeze over before SISU 100% ownership of the Arena, but I can't find that specific line..
Meh I'm glad Maggie Thatchers dead so on this occassion, go Mutton!
And yes I'm a raging left winger lol
It was a pathetic and tasteless attempt at humour. However, he has apologised so that is that. We all have to learn to be careful on email, twitter, forums etc. He should know better but he seems a bit of an older class warrior who is not very diplomatic. Thatcher was not averse to throwing the odd insult and I think she would be very pleased that she is still under the skin of Old Labour
Council employees would be in real trouble. It's double standards. He as the leader of the council has bought Shane to the position.
The western film?

Exactly
He has apologised retracted it straight away

I'm finding myself on strange ground siding with Grenduffy on this one; but I profoundly disagree with the above. He's the leader of the council. His utterances to others, in writing or verbal, in public or in private should be considered. As stated before, such responsibility comes with the office he aspired to. If he's too ignorant or such a poor judge of circumstance he can't maintain the standards the office demands, then he has to go.
It's okay dismissing it as a gaffe. Or poor judgement. But when's the next one? Offending someone who's looking at inward investment into Coventry? The next prospective owner if the football club? Thatcher can't answer him back - but I've no doubt she'd have torn him a new arse in her pomp. But the next offended may simply walk away from this crude man and the city he 'represents'...
He apologised as he got found out.
So if sisu apologised tomorrow and paid the rent you'd be cool would you?
Given your adulation of the thatcher worshipping Dave whelan I'm amazed at your stance.
Do if mutton had sent an e mail with any subject matter and got found out then apologised that's ok is it?
How many people do you know who have apologised about something without getting found out?
And your point is? So if someone shot someone and apologised that is OK?
If I behaved in such a way at work I would be gone and so should he. He has disgraced his office.
Christ we've just sent an identical post at the same time!
Good enough for pistorious lol

Have you not just done the same thing?
i see hes in abit of hot water about an internal email poking fun at thatchers death
wouldnt it be great if he was sacked? he will never let ccfc own 100% of staidum, sisu or no sisu
IIRC Robo the 'hell would freeze over' quote was part of a radio interview on CWR. I agree 100% with Mutton on this stance.
However the full quote on the Council's 50% holding in ACL is as follows:
Coun Mutton said the council still had a “not for sale” policy on its 50 per cent share.
But he added, if “a fantastic offer came in” for the council’s shares, the full council could vote on a change of policy.
It appears that CCC certainly won't/can't deal with SISU (and who can blame them), yet there is nothing to stop them selling their 50% share to a more trustworthy owner in the future.
Regarding the Thatcher e-mail, this was originally a private e-mail sent to fellow Labour councillors asking for their views on whether to fly the Union Jack at half-mast next Wednesday. The 'smiley face' attempt at humour doesn't surprise me from a Labour politician. As I understand it Cllr Chater mistakenly forwarded it to ALL councillors, hence the resulting 'leak' to the CT.
It seems to me that a mixture of the PC brigade and Tory supporters have seized on this for political capital - having survived the Thatcher years I for one can take it all with a pinch of salt.
Political banter, both sides give and take, the right were delighted when Hugo Chavez died, Thatcher's left equivalent accept Hugo Chavez is, was more popular, in office for longer, more democratic and didn't use tyrannical methods to disperse his opponents.
This from someone who had never even heard of thatchers predecessor.
Mutton has to go.
