I'd be very wary about accepting everything said in court as fact.
Evidence is always presented by those with an agenda and often not presented in its entirety or with the relevant context. That's the nature of court hearings.
That's also why there's a judge!
If it turns out the council win and the whole aim of JR was just for sisu to mudsling I'm going to be well out of pocket having a couple of times fallen for 'put your money where your mouth is' when explaining kcic view that sisu will win because to have pursued it for over a year including successfully appealing against the original rejection they must surely have thought they'd win

Wait a minute Samo I am trying to see if there is better odds out there!

A few thoughts on the week ahead…
This won’t be so much about the decision that Justice Hickinbottom arrives at as the information that gets read into court. Sure, a decision on whether the council acted within state aid regulations will be useful and could have an effect on resolving this dispute but the main event will be hearing what is read into court re: emails & documents between the various parties connected to ACL.
There could be grounds for civil actions after the hearing and I’d bet dollars to doughnut holes that there will be an appeal from whichever side loses.
No matter what people might try and make out about how boring etc. it is, this will be one of the main outlets for actual information about the background to this whole saga.
There will be a lot of legal back & forth and it can be hard to follow from the public area as you don’t get to see any of the documentation being referred to until it is released (usually after the case).
I’ll be there hopefully tapping away to report back here & on Twitter. If you’re coming along come & say hello. There will no doubt be an interesting collection of people in the public area and you may be able to get a conversation with some of them too
finally, the day is here, our biggest match in months

So what time is kick off, and how long is it being played over? (One day 'trial' or longer, or however long it needs to?)
I believe it is scheduled for three days, although you may have to wait longer for the result. And the losing side might try to force a replay.
A big match maybe, but what is the competition?
1. The charity shield, a contest in which two sides go to a neutral venue to play in a match that might produce plenty of talking points but has little meaningful value except, maybe, providing a psychological edge in the season to come?
2. A European Cup qualifier, a prelude to more battles but a long way short of the final?
Or
3. The cup final, a contest which could mark a change in the club's fortunes and could potentially be the start of a new dynasty?
In reality, it is probably not number 3. And unless the contest hastens the return of CCFC to Coventry, the result probably doesn't matter a great deal.
This is where is gets confusing. Is it Sisu or CCFC that has launched these proceedings?
I don't care who wins or loses as long as the end scenario is that Coventry City are playing at the Ricoh next season!

Hope that Sisu are shown up for what they are. A clear council victory is more important than any game we've played this season.
Rob S - Are your transcripts going to be on this thread?

Really hope this is the beginning of the end for Sisu with our club. They have been an absolute disaster and if they continue to own us there is only one consequence. We will cease to exist. They represent everything that is wrong with our society, never mind our club.
I would imagine they will try and cloud the important issues today, looking to pick targets for future litigation. It's what they do isn't it.
Squandering CCFC money on legal fees. Bang goes your new striker. New goalie.
As far as I can see, the Council, ACL, were protecting themselves from the obvious, rapacious tactics of a Hedge Fund operation. Whether they did that strictly legally, I don't know, nobody on here knows. But I would do it myself if it meant stopping Sisu getting their dirty hands on a site partly funded on tax payers money, for the people of Coventry and their football club.
I really do hope Sisu get what they deserve. Nothing.
Then maybe, we can get back to Coventry and rebuild our club without their shackles, their lies, greed, total absence of any idea of a community. Of integrity, they don't have any.
Just been out getting Fisher number 9 on my SISU shirt, what's been happening?
I was thinking of getting Labovitch or Deering on mine but I've decided that they score too many own goals
Sell out in court.
Packed to the rafters.
