Interesting line here Rob...what are those plans? If you cannot divulge exact details, any flavours of what this looks like?

I think that this is a totally reasonable expectation and I agree.
With the new stadium, there is no way they will say more until a land deal is done and even then, I don't think they will give a location until the planning stage is ready to go. If the land is sorted then we will get some more details about the site development. They've been burnt by not being clear about timescales in the past (although I think, on balance, that Labovitch was mis-quoted) so they're rightly keeping schtum.
I s'pose I have a bit more faith because I'm so sodding deep in all of this so it's a lot easier to balance out an opinion. Then again, I still believe a Ricoh deal is possible if CCC & Sisu talk. We don't have to just accept the fact that Joy isn't interested.
And I can reveal that there are plans in motion to be more transparent about all of this but the timescale is also likely to be fluid so maybe in the new year.
There have been plans to be transparent since 2007 but all we get is bullshit.
Exactly, how many statements have we had from SISU over the years about transparency and engaging with the fans and every time they're basically saying just go with what we are saying at the moment and we'll improve things in the future. There's only so many times you can try that trick before people will stop believing you. They're at the point now where they need to clearly explain what they are doing not just promise to explain it in the future and expect people to blindly support them.

SISU talk a good game
As far as I can gather a lot more info about the club and what is going on (or what has gone on) will be available. TBF, the current CCFC website has stepped up its game in terms of news & info and the likes of Fisher & Waggott are making themselves more available to fans, both at events and in general conversations.Interesting line here Rob...what are those plans?

And I won't defend Sisu's behaviour since 2007 and neither will Joy to an extent. And I've been very blunt in telling her that until there's a successful team on the pitch consistently, we're going nowhere. IIRC I told her that until we get to 11th place in the Championship, Sisu have only failed at Cov. (We were 12th in the division when RR & Sisu took over.)Rob S you have clearly been impressed by Joy S and to an extent convinced that SISU have a way forward but if you were there Saturday despite playing quite well it looked fairly pathetic few home fans, hardly any away fans but who in 2007 thought we'd be playing against Crawley, SISU talk a good game but we seem to be going in one direction only - I will need a hell of a lot of convincing
Glad you feel that way. The day I get any agreement from you is the day I know I've done something very wrong.How patronising
It's laughable how the fawning council idiots keep talking about 'transparency' when the council are not disclosing the detail of a deal to sell an apparent 'community asset' to Wasps.
Their PR arm otherwise known as the Coventry Telegraph has put this £30m headline figure about, but it all sounds a bit too wishy washy to me.
chief - there is the Freedom of Information Act, although the council should be proactive here. It shouldn't need individuals to request the information. I think the council will attempt to hide behind commercial confidentiality (as ACL is a limited company itself). It's the same stunt they pulled when they wouldn't disclose how much they spent on Weber Shandwick.

The council and acls pr and marketing company. Good how you find it funny without knowing who they are though??Lol !!
Always makes me laugh when the pro Sisu brigade throw about Weber Shadwick. Whoever they are ?
Without meaning to sound rude to you,but in all these hours of talks with Joy/Tim/Mark et al what of any real significance have you and others managed to find out? Many years ago I remember being told that Disney on planning DisneyWorld in Orlando, originally set up company(s) to buy up land in Orlando on the quiet,in order not to send land prices through the roof. However SISU/CCFC are not really in any comparable situation. It's not like there are rival football clubs all trying to build new football stadiums in the Coventry area.And I won't defend Sisu's behaviour since 2007 and neither will Joy to an extent.

There is going to be an awful lot of disappointed people here. They're not going anywhere.
