You always remind me of the sheriff in westerns when the town come to the jail with pitchforks and burning torches wanting to hang the “murderer” he’s got locked up
He was elected in 2001, aged 21.
Can I re-state my original point then?No I’m an idiot and misread his profile. He was first elected 2002!

In which case he should surely know a lot of dirt he could spill if he wanted to
In which case, I'll stick to point 2!No. Wasn’t in office 2012-2016

I don't disagree, and still think it's lazy politics, but it's harder to throw that mud at him if he wasn't about to be part of that unanimous decision.I mean he’s a councillor, he can rock up to records and dig himself, talk to staff, etc. And if he finds something/gets blocked/finds a massive hole in the records, go public with it.
Indeed, opportunist Tory wankerIm all for a pile-on but this Gary Ridley?
BREAKING: Coventry City owners Sisu win right to appeal over council’s Ricoh Arena sale to Wasps
COVENTRY City’s ‘owner’ Sisu has today been given permission to appeal against a judge’s decision to refuse a High Court judicial review into the council’s Ricoh Arena sale to Wasps.coventryobserver.co.uk
"A joint statement from George Duggins, leader of Coventry City Council and Gary Ridley, leader of the opposition Conservative Party, issued this afternoon, states: “We are naturally disappointed that the Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal the decision made on 14 July 2017.
“However, we remain confident that we have a robust defence to all the claims, and that the decisions the Council took on 7 October 2014 were entirely lawful."
Thankyou. That's the mud I was grasping for.Im all for a pile-on but this Gary Ridley?

Need to ask Ken then?No. Wasn’t in office 2012-2016
There’s clearly grounds for an enquiry for the proposed bailout and denials about that bailout. Enquiry into the initial sale of ACL to Wasp’s? What’s it going to say? In selling to Wasps CCC we’re then subsequently able to recover £14m (IIRC) in debt owed to the tax payers. Not exactly damming. We all have our opinion on how it wasn’t good for the club but the fact is we live in a free market economy, anyone was allowed to purchase ACL and CCC were allowed to sell it. The fact that they offloaded it for a couple of million, got more money for a lease extension and then had a tax payer debt paid in full to boot doesn’t exactly say an enquiry is needed.
What’s happened in the last few months with false statements. 100% needs an enquiry.
