why couldn't you see the lies in SISU's statement i could ann sounds fairly upset by them
This is funny considering the reaction to SISUs statement
She is hopping mad about all those inaccuracies in CCFC's statement
Oh dear, what will become of the club
Makes you wonder why the SISU statement was so aggressive, it was not a statement about talking, it was more like trying to make the council seem unreasonable.
SISU's statement was not designed to build bridges - that does not seem to be their way. I believe it is aimed at trying to leverage, what appears to be the pro-SISU reports and protest at the Council by Les Reid, to get the fans putting more pressure onto the Council. It does appear to have back-fired badly.Makes you wonder why the SISU statement was so aggressive, it was not a statement about talking, it was more like trying to make the council seem unreasonable.
But let me be clear, the clock is ticking and time is moving on. I will not lead the Council into a state of paralysis around this issue. Difficult times call for difficult decisions. If this matter cannot be resolved by the turn of the year, then I and all of my colleagues on the Labour Group on Coventry City Council will look to put in place a process which ensures the best possible deal for the people of Coventry in relation to the Ricoh Arena.

This is the sting in the tail of the Lucas statement, basically she is saying we won't be held to ransom & if Seppala can't agree something sensible this year she can build her new stadium, we'll use the Ricoh & the surrounding land for the people of Coventry.
I agree.. I've had enough of Joy's emotional blackmail.

What they going to do - open a mega pound land there?
the Council simply can not help themselves can they!!
" absolutely right that we should try to avoid 'tit for tat' press releases "
THE STUPID COUNCIL TRASH THEN GOES ONTO MAKE 7 TIT FOR TAT POINTS IN PROLONGED PARAGRAPHS BEFORE FINALLY SUMMISING!!!
PATHETIC THE COUNCIL ARE - THEY REALLY ARE. ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS WAS RELEASE EITHER OF THE FOLLOWING:
THE COUNCIL ARE HAPPY TO MEET WITH THE CLUB TO DISCUSS THE SALE OF THE RICOH ARENA
OR
THE COUNCIL IS REFUSING TO MEET WITH THE CLUB TO DISCUSS THE SALE OF THE RICOH
THE CLUB WANT TO BUY - SELL UP COVENTRY CITY COUNCIL BEFORE THE FANS OF THIS CLUB TAKE MORE DIRECT ACTION - MAYBE NOT PAYING THEIR COUNCIL TAX UNTIL YOU REFUND THE £14,000,000 YOU STOLE FROM YOUR TAX PAYERS WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC CONSULTATION[/COLOR]
Game, set & match to Ann
Maybe
Pound land is ok? Or is it below you G
It really is time for people to back Coventry against this scummy Cayman hedgefund.
no one cares less about it.
They run a city that is sad, depressed, high unemployment, pot holes in almost every road, wasting money on needles town centre 'improvements' at a time the town centre is dying a slow death, the childrens services have a terrible record from Ofsted, the schools are all atrocious bar 3 or 4, the facilities for children in the city are disgusting. The roads are dangerous, the elderly are left to freeze with no local authority help, try having Alzheimers and watch the council come after your house after working all your life.. and the list goes on and on and on - the disgraceful service our local authority provides in Coventry - and you misses the point - its about those in glass houses - shouldn't throw stones! so get off your high horse and stop trying to be emotive over something you clearly do not understand properly
It's the only way 90% of Coventry will be interested in it - may as bulldoze it to the ground - no one cares less about it.
No quibble about you cause mate - but wtf does this have to do with CCFC & the Ricoh specifically?
There are loads of other drains on the council budget that could be targeted & some more easily justified as targets...maybe this is just the highest profile & easier publicity for you?
I have fought the council in Judicial Reviews and County Court Cases and i can assure you Coventry City Council is one of the worst local authorities in the country
Whose Stan?
to clarify SkyblueBazza im talking about the fact that the council are absolutely hardball, they could not care less about the club or the fans, like they dont care about children, the elderly and the infirm, the homeless and those in need, they are so inadequate - you have to know of the cases we see to realise just how terrible the council are - im not advertising the campaign friend. Im so sick of hearing about the big bas sisu and otium - the council have been wholly to blame for this debacle from the very start - you can not beat the local authority - they will never give in - that is the way of the country now - they are so powerful now. Thats waht i need to clarify - this is a game for Ms Lucas nothing more, its about her power -- read her list - she is living in cloud cuckoo land demanding the billionaire Joy Sepalla make herself available for the leader of the council. who does Anne think she is? the Queen?
COMPARE
