How wrong do you want to be Grendel/torch/ SBT etc. Could MR state any plainer that the rent dispute and the owners (SISU) are the reason he left?
It is exactly as Don stated - how can you question this? How many people said that one moment everything seemed fine, then he had a meeting with Dear Joy and suddenly he is gone! Well - here is MR himself absolutely confirming what happened and why:
“It was a considered decision,” said Robins, who alluded to the current rent dispute between the club and Arena Coventry Ltd – the owners of the Ricoh Arena.
“I spoke to the owner, I sought assurances and didn’t get any assurances from the owner of Coventry,” he said as he was unveiled today as the Terrier’s fifth manager in as many years

If Huddersfield paid less than us would he have gone?
I have to say I think it#s far from plain.
7/2/13:
"I am more than happy as manager of Coventry City.”
With tongue firmly in cheek, he joked: “If Manchester United came calling... but they have a manager,” adding, “I have been here for five months, so we’re getting dangerously close to the 11th-month average for Coventry managers.
“But, in all seriousness, I had a meeting with some of the board on Wednesday and spoke to the owner about other things planning for the future, so that should tell you a story."
No I cant and neither do I care, some twat from Banbury probably.
Did I say we would never get a new owner ever? No, what I am pointing out as you well know is that currently there doesnt seem to be a huge number of potential investors, well unless you believe in the Tooth Fairy Hoffman, so when I say for the fifty billionth time 'who do we sell to' I mean now, as in the present, as there isnt anyone.
Until the club (any club, or pretty much anything actually) is put up for sale then how do we know who is interested?

What a sad and sorry state are in.
So many on here were desperate for robins to attack the owners. The disappointment was almost visible. MMM, Don, the increasingly absurd Sky Blue John and the high flyer from The City were left floundering. Then came the gibberish;
He was bribed
He knows nothing about the arrangements (though one may think a poster on here may know less than a senior employee in the company)
He's just greedy (acknowledged by all other than the above until now)
Time to face facts;
The owners are all we have
The owners are heavily investing in the football club this season
The owners will no longer be screwed by the council over the rent
The time to take sides is now. Back the club and its owners or support the council and its absurd quango and let the club die.
That is the same for every club.
No one wants to buy it till it is up for sale or goes into administration
They're all queuing up for Portsmouth.
And this is some of the worst crap I have seen you post. Why are you so pro SISU, why do you think they should act illegally and get away with it, why should everyone but SISU suffer, why do you put CCFC and SISU before the law, why do you have no morals at all provided CCFC survive, why do you totally ignore the fact that the council and the Higgs Trust saved CCFC when they would have gone bankrupt and couldn't finance the new ground themselves because of the incompetence of previous owners, why do you blame ACL for the situation that CCFC put themselves in - not the council or the Higgs Trust or ACL, why do you defend SISU for non-payment of a debt that has been confirmed by the high courts as due. I could go on and on, but it is pointless with you and torch and a few other SISU apologists. I mean, you actually blame the council, the Higgs Trust and ACL for the fact that we could not spend more on players because the rent was too high - how stupid are you?
I suppose you also totally believe that ACL are lying when they say they came to an agreement on the rent on the 29th January 2013 and that SISU then renaged on the deal, and that MR is lying when he states that Joy Sepalla refused to give him any assurances in any way and that is why he decided to go talk to Huddersfield.
No, only SISU tell the truth in all matter, don't they?
If you genuinely believe the crap you spout, then you are not a fan, you are an imoral and deranged person that puts a football club before everything else no matter what is done illegally or imorally, and that has nothing whatsoever abount being a real supporter but is a level of fanatisism that is dangerously stupid.
Because he's fucking mental, utterly barking....this oddball is one sandwich short of a picnic !

Two interested parties.
We're still not in as bad position as Portsmouth anyway.
And here's the other lunatic, nearly 5000 posts, 90% of them defending a mysterious bunch of 'owners' all who pretty much want to remain anonymous but are happy to set up offshore holding accounts and sub companies and impose phenomenal 'administration' fees into the accounts without question. He has no solid information but another absolute staunch spokesperson for these untouchables !! Are you the same obsessed nut job as Grendel ?!
We've been going downhill since relegation from the Prem.
Oh my God, this creepy Grendel character is utterly mental !!!.........................Its all about taking sides???? Well I'd imagine we're all on the side of CCFC and desperate for some stability and success. You though pal are unstable, I'd seek help you freak !
Absolutely not but you are pal, not all there, no cohesion or realism at all.

Pot and kettle come to mind.
What dont you understand about this being a Football Forum where opinions differ?
Should we all agree on every post, and it be boring instead? like an Ashdown version of cloned Sky Blue fans in invasion of the body snatchers.

No I'm sorry, but you and your alter ego Torch go through this whole forum 'Liking' each others posts like a pair of forbidden lovers, it goes on for days, you're weird. I know its valentines day but come on.
Green eyed monster.......frustrated as you got no cards then?We can swop if you want
Fair play Moff, I agree but if you look back through the SBT recent history actually anybody who has challenged the deadly duo has been set upon with some verve !
Fine, but if you haven't noticed these two quickly resort to a barrage of personal insults long before anyone else. None of us know all the facts but hey, I'm gonna leave them to their little love in now. Oh and by the way I'm a happily married man with 3 kids, I'm not desperate for a card !! I've been going down the City for 30 plus years, its just that............I care !!

I know its valentines day but come on. All I want is one day for our historic and once proud club to be owned and run for the benefit of that said club and not to used as a pawn to further high flying out of town hedge fund bastards financial aspirations. I accept that its not all SISU's fault but almost everything they do makes the club a laughing stock and means our best assets will continually be the target of almost any club with a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps to chuck at them.
'Unsustainable form'........you know that's the one with a court writ hanging over them and no chance of gaining their own stadium under their current untrusted owners.
