You have gloated on here multiple times about watching Luton.

And we all know you will vanish when there is talk of football. Strange, you appear again and haven't bothered to even look at last night's match thread.
Nick i suppose its ok for you to abuse me though!
I think this is how GMK died all the real fans got pushed out by a sellect few!

No just the blinded type who can't think for themselves, a bit like yourself.

Both. And obviously without a survey I cannot say how many. But no councilors have been defeated at an election because of the Ricoh. No demonstrations, no privat JRs. No major protests at all. If people were generally unhappy, someone would have protested. We are in the minority.

Nick shame on you why do you feel the need to lie to try and discredit my oppinions?
Your the owner/administrator of this website so surely you can provide my multiple gloating posts of watching another team?
If you can't it proves to everyone on SBT your word is useless and proves you to be a Liar!
I will be waiting.
What have I lied about? I can provide a link to multiple gloating posts yes.
Two more lost for the future !
I and many others were not persuaded to have certain views by any pr firms were you?That's why Weber Shandwick get paid decent money isn't it?
Higgs sale of shares in ACL. Ignoring all of the ego, antipathy, personalities etc
First off, from what has happened since it is pretty clear AEHC trustees had taken a decision to distance themselves from any indirect involvement in professional sport. They have sold shares in ACL, have done a deal on Higgs centre when Alan Higgs Centre Trust wound up etc. They want no part of it, I think it easy to understand why perhaps they should never have got involved.
Secondly they were entitled to sell their interest to whoever best fitted their charity objectives then and for the future. They would also assess the risk of doing a deal with any party involved.
AEHC do not operate events etc they make financial grants from the investment income they receive
The two offers - the known facts:
CCFC ltd through the administrator backed by SISU
- £2.8m for the shares
- involvement in various outline charitable suggestions/partnerships. Now given AEHC do not operate events their involvement in the partnership could only have been provision of funds.
- conditional offer
Wasps Holdings
- £2.77m for the shares
- an income of 50p per seat sold in the Alan Edward Higgs Charity stand at the Ricoh for a period of 4 years. AEHC accounts appear to show that as worth £30,000+ per annum
- no future involvement
- unconditional offer
The Trustees had to consider what was best for the Charity, not what was best for CCFC, CCC or indeed the City of Coventry. The SISU offer up front was £23,000 more than the Wasps upfront payment but AEHC would receive, with no conditions attached, a further £120,000+ from Wasps over a period of 4 years. There were no further or future potential costs to AEHC with the Wasps offer there were for the CCFC Ltd one. Had AEHC wanted to grant monies for football based community schemes then the vehicle was already there to do it in SBITC.
I think it is accepted that there was no love lost between AEHC and SISU on either side. But was the SISU backed offer better even financially? Which was the better offer for AEHC?
oh and due diligence doesn't take place until an outline agreement has been struck. The CCFC backed by SISU offer was rejected from the get go, so due diligence was never going to happen for that offer.
I and many others were not persuaded to have certain views by any pr firms were you?
So I and others decided not to go to sixfields we were influenced by others. You and others went to sixfields and that was your own decision. I protested I was influenced you didn't you weren't. Well I'm glad that's all cleared upMart was on about the people of Coventry (rather than the hardcore types on here etc), they would certainly have seen that. It still happens today. "Supporters Direct" were working with said PR firm too weren't they?
I'd say people in and around your circle are very much influenced also(maybe not so much your circle nowadays as you have said yourself you aren't arsed about that side of things).

The same article you reference has Eastwood finally confirming they were invited to talks, which he had previously denied, and stating that they had rejected that request.
If they are open to negotiation and happy to talk why when asked to attend talks do they say no?!
I think this is how GMK died all the real fans got pushed out by a sellect few!
From what I've been told and led to believe the same thing happened on the original CT site too.
Told by who? Strange, it wasn't the reason I was told from the horse's mouth at the time.
I was told by friends who used the site, and I often used to take a look for myself at the abuse some of the newer posters got from the "Hardcore regulars" Hardly rocket science to see what went on.
So you are just guessing then?

Just for balance, why are you trying to discredit my post?
Of course they are entitled to sell to whoever they wish. But that wasn't being questioned. It was being asserted that CCFC made no attempt to purchase which is simply false. They submitted a bid and it was rejected while Wasps bid was accepted.Secondly they were entitled to sell their interest to whoever best fitted their charity objectives then and for the future.
For balance of what? You are going on about something you didn't use and a guess at why closed, I am going by being told from the horse's mouth at the time.
Again, you have discredited it yourself.
