You mean McNulty picked for Scotland?
any views on the revelations today?
Anyway else starting to feel a little sympathy towards SISU? Just wish they had been this transparent years a go! They have probably taken an awful lot of undeserved slack!
So to summarise:
- CCC admit they were in negotiations with SISU in bad faith / stalling
- ACL were looking to sell Ricoh to Wasps A YEAR before Northampton move
- Email records that Higgs were unlikely to ever sell to SISU
What have I missed?
Who was it that said Wasps are just SISU with better PR. Looks pretty accurate right now.Anyway else starting to feel a little sympathy towards SISU? Just wish they had been this transparent years a go! They have probably taken an awful lot of undeserved slack!
Wonder which stand all the free tickets are in.The insects offered money per seat in the Higgs stand, I believe?
Not a lot of actual evidence in there, lots of heat, not much light.
Well you may not be angry Robo, but i'm fucking fuming!!!I'm not angry, I'm just very disappointed.

Don't forget in one of the court cases it came out that there was a deliberate PR campaign to turn the fans against SISU. Didn't take much as people were already pissed off with them but if SISU had started defending themselves straight away would we be seeing a lot more pressure on Wasps and the council?
Well you may not be angry Robo, but i'm fucking fuming!!!
And one of the things that annoys me most is that the High Court didn't see it this way - there simply MUST be a legal technicality that allowed CCC to act in this way.

The thing is, the high court were only judging on if things were state aid or not. It was particular points rather than judging on morals / snidey behaviour. The council have also tried to play on this to make out they have done nothing wrong, ever.

And the way the Editor of the CovTel sees it?? Still can't find a way to avoid sucking up to his CCC paymasters! Wanker!!!!

New statement from Sisu
A statement from Sky Blues owners Sisu has been released within the last few minutes.
Key points include the claim the club has identified a site for a new stadium in Coventry, a denial that a rent-strike ever took place, leading the the Sky Blues having relocate to Northampton, and the argument that a tenancy deal in its current form at the Ricoh leaves the football club without access to key revenues it needs in order to bring about success on the pitch.
We’ll be bringing analysis of today’s statement and any reactions that come in from key players and fans this afternoon.
Spot on. I've posted in the Fans forum on FB and people keep saying "well these emails obviously mean nothing as it was thrown out of court" Legally maybe, but shows the councils utter contempt for the club as well as their self preservational nature.
Thing that people miss is that judicial reviews are basically looking at legal technicalities. And often relating to areas of law that haven't been tested before.there simply MUST be a legal technicality that allowed CCC to act in this way.
I believe that speed is of the essence. CCC are not going to be able to keep their negotiations with Sisu running indefinitely, which currently is the only way we have to create sufficient time for us to work out the approach to the YB and for CCC to have the deal taken through the various steps needed within a local 3 authority
There are issues that have not been agreed or resolved however, I think that the first stage is to do all we can to help CCC to work out the best tactics and story to enable the most cost effective purchase of the debt
I cant wait for the Trust's view on this lot now. They will have a massive choice to make which might blow them apart as surely they're aren't all going to toe the line.
I do wonder what the council have done or promised to get the trust eating out of their hand. Surely it would have to be something for them not to question anything thatt he council are doing.The thing is, would it have got this far if particular sides haven't had an easy ride from people like the Trust? Obviously not saying it is their fault it's happened but if they didn't roll out for the council, wasps or ACL on demand to do their PR and questioned them would they have had it so easy for all these years to pull those stunts?

All seems pretty damning for the council. They've been getting a comparatively easy ride from some, but that has to change now, surely? They're in it up to their necks. It's not like this is someone throwing around unsubstantiated claims they can't back up, either. The evidence is right there.
Butts Park Arena deal 'blocked'
The statement from Sisu also accuses the council of blocking a deal for them to play at Butts Park Arena, home of Coventry Rugby.
In May 2016, CCFC announced they were looking at a groundshare there.
Jon Sharp, chairman of the rugby club, later said he would “not deal with SISU”, and even later revealed the plans had been quashed by the cost of roadworks.
The trust are hiring a bus as we speak to get everyone to stand round Duggins and give him a round of applause like they did the Wasps chap.The thing is, would it have got this far if particular sides haven't had an easy ride from people like the Trust? Obviously not saying it is their fault it's happened but if they didn't roll out for the council, wasps or ACL on demand to do their PR and questioned them would they have had it so easy for all these years to pull those stunts?
