Yes, ccc is a beacon of honesty in all of this. I'm sure we will all be able to see them soon.
Do you think this meeting was minuted?
ALways liked Nellist. Years ago me and my mate used to take our decks and play records in quite a few pubs around and about. On the front of our decks we had a sticker "Vote Dave Nellist". One landlord told us to take it off, we refused, and he asked us to leave, which we did. It was a New Years' Eve do.
He spoke a lot of sense and was spot on when he said CCC are doing exactly was SISU did.
The thing about Nellist, whether you like his politics or not, he is absolutely consistent on what he stands for and believes.
Ann Lucas, the leader of Coventry City Council, has proven herself to be a complete hypocrite.
Our politicians should be held to the highest standards, and major decisions and debates should be held in public. Coventry City Council clearly differs on this though. It's another major decision relating to the Ricoh that will be passed in private, and away from scrutiny. I can only presume that they're secretly ashamed of what they're doing. They should be.
Shocking if true. Are there ways to find these things out?@Lesreidpolitics: Breaking more:Another source tells me the £19.5m Wasps deal INCLUDES the £13.5m on loan & £2.7m each for council/Higgs shares.We'll see
If true, we've been through the past couple of years of bullsh*t for what exactly?

That in itself is a bit shady.The deal will see the council purchase the Higgs Charity's stake in ACL before it is sold on to Wasps in order to circumnavigate a potential clause which could still entitle current sporting tenant Coventry City FC to 'first option' on the charity's share of ACL.

Didn't realise that was taken from the cet article! Pretty much confirms it then!It's disgusting. It makes their claims of having ccfc's interests at heart laughable. They are effectively killing off the football club. Didn't AL claim to support ccfc?

Looks like the children's charity are gonna lose £3.5m.
Fucking outraged. Is there much point in going on a rant? I hope Higgs enjoy their extra 1 million from what sisu offered. Cunts.
It's all ok though Ann Lucas, Geoffrey Robinson et al will all be voted back into power by the citizens of Coventry at every opportunity. What good have they ever actually done this crowd ?
If this goes through it will be damning of the council and their obligations to thousands of CCFC fans in the City and damning of the poisonous hedge fund who so weakened and ridiculed the club with their selfish shenanigans and their continued bullshit identikit stadium. We will have been stabbed in the back by all concerned !
Its less than a million - more like £5-£700,000 if reports are correct.
It's OK though because it is in the "best interests of the city". This is potentially more damaging than any ground share.
Simon Gilbert has written up an article based on info released so far. Additional info is that we can be releived that Ranson not involved.

Well on here, we've had a full range of corkers:
1. Wasps need a home
2. It's business
3. Yeah but, it's all SISUs fault
4. Good for the people of Coventry
5. What can ACL be expected to do
6. CRFC don't mind
7. Wasps fans don't seem to mind
8. They are a nomadic club anyway
9. It's best for our Civic Asset
So why did you claim he was involved?
Kevin Hill (BBC CWR) reporting a charge of £5.5m for CCC & Higgs shares in ACL. This just stinks. We could have avoided Sixfields and could even be in the Championship by now if Peter K-H hadn't thrown his toys out of the pram. Shameful.
So why did you claim he was involved?
I'm a little surprised he hasn't been on here recently to update us all on this. Maybe his internet connection has been cut off?
Rob S said it was a rumour he had heard.
