Persistent little thing ain't sheI think it was at least a thought process some while ago, but I think we all now believe they are never going to win anyway don't we?
Don’t know about that.I think it was at least a thought process some while ago, but I think we all now believe they are never going to win anyway don't we?
I would like to see our owners win it at this stage rather than the egg chasing franchiseDon’t know about that.
What might come of Sisu's complaint to European Commission
"The European Commission can only take up your complaint if it is about a breach of Union law by authorities in an EU country.”
According to Dr MacLennan, if a public body has conferred a ‘selective advantage’ on a business it is treated as anti-competitive and is usually, therefore, prohibited.
Speaking on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire radio yesterday, Professor Christine Oughton, an expert on the European Commission, said the Commission has rules on “state aid being given to commercial enterprises” and football clubs are part of that.
She added: “If aid gives a club an unfair advantage over other clubs and a complaint is made, they could investigate.”
We were starting to make progress again as a club two trips to Wembley strengthening the squad we were turning a corner I feltYeah for sure.
Wasps out of the city is a bigger priority than Sisu out of our club.

This x100Yeah for sure.

It sounds like this is going to take years to resolve. What will be left of the club if they are forced to play outside of the city for 5, 6, 7 years or more?I would like to see our owners win it at this stage rather than the egg chasing franchise

Not a lot and a most likely, a lost generation of fans.It sounds like this is going to take years to resolve. What will be left of the club if they are forced to play outside of the city for 5, 6, 7 years or more?
Because its line management if you will.But don’t we have to ask the question why didn’t sisu go down this road 4 years ago, what was their agenda for going on and on through the British court system when it looks like a simple yes or no from the EC would have done.
Because the EC rules are that you can’t complain to them until and unless you have exhausted all avenues of challenge in the domestic courts.But don’t we have to ask the question why didn’t sisu go down this road 4 years ago, what was their agenda for going on and on through the British court system when it looks like a simple yes or no from the EC would have done.
You’re not the only one. Well saidI don’t think I have ever been so down and pessimistic about the future of our club. There have been so many down times in the past few years, the sale to Wasps, relegation to the fourth division and exile in Northampton. This feels far worse than anything that has happened in the recent past. When we were moved to Northampton, it felt almost like a bereavement to me. Something that I loved and valued, almost for the whole of my life, had been taken away from me, for no reason other than to be held to ransom, to be a bargaining chip. However, the Ricoh was there, there was always an option to return. This time I can see no light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot see how or when we will come back.
This time I will get a season ticket, I will go and watch us. At the moment I can still only see me going with my heart in my boots. For the life of me, I cannot see how we will do anything but gradually shrivel and die.The feeling of doom and gloom has returned. Pathetic I know, that a football club should have such an effect on a grown man, but the last two days, since the news broke have left me feeling under a cloud. Sisu, Wasps and CCC should hang their heads in shame, but they won’t. They don’t care. I am sure I am not the only one feeling like this.
But there’s still two weeks to go until the 29th and I suspect a lot of water to go under the bridge yet, let’s see where this ground share proposal is, wasn’t there two options ? Or even IF it’s still there, if heads of terms have been signed as said it just needs announcing, why wait ?

For me, as I am sure it is for most people, the best groundshare option would still be the least worst option.But there’s still two weeks to go until the 29th and I suspect a lot of water to go under the bridge yet, let’s see where this ground share proposal is, wasn’t there two options ? Or even IF it’s still there, if heads of terms have been signed as said it just needs announcing, why wait ?
Lots and lots of work needed. OK, you could do temporary stands, but you'd effectively need a new stadium there.If we could somehow play at the Butts, still be in Coventry, then that would be the option I favour most.
I was wondering about Brandon. Presumably the stadium is still there as I don’t think any houses have been built on it. I think there has been some vandalism, arson. As an option, I would choose this next. It is still virtually in Coventry but has the advantage of being outside of the control of CCC. I don’t know who owns it, how much renovation would be needed to turn it into a temporary stadium for us. I am sure there would be lots of residents up in arms and the infrastructure isn’t great. It is probably a no- hoper but would still leave us in the City (almost).

Least us supporters stick together and know how we all feel over this fiascoPretty much bang on, nothing to feel ashamed of about how you're feeling. We all feel the same way.
