We don't want a public enquiry, it will only bring out the same facts as the JR.
We just need to know the details behind the Wasps deal so we can put this smoking gun theory to bed once and for all.
The audit report should give us that.
Although many on here would disagree I would be happy to see both Ray Ranson & Gary Hoffman back at this club as long as Hoffman can remove that boil on his backside (Elliot), I believe they could get a consortium together with enough funds to get us to the promised land! But these two gents are both wealthy business men who will not want Sepalla's debts I am afraid for her she created them she can keep them!
AS usual you seem to be a little frightened of the prospect.
Should the chap who instigated that have the decency to stand down It may just help the healing process and unite the fanbase once more
Seems to me ultimately they will require some local help to bring fresh Investment
and obviously people through the gates
A local successful entrepreneur /business man would aid the chances of that happening
This Is the minimum required to refresh the whole atmosphere around/within the Club
What, like a few years ago?
They have had a practice with her money, now I think when it is nearer to being their own money they would perform better. Hoffman cannot be as hopeless as many on here think, he was earning a fortune at Barclay's as a shareholder I used to get the reports and was shocked at the level of his salary.
See I differ there
I see the strategy has him as architect, the aim yes SISU
Absolutely on the second point and Deffo not Byng eiher
As vice chairman of a football club he's been a failure.
Why don't we start the campaign for fisher to stay once sisu leave while we're at it.
Vice chairman under the control of this crew as his own man he would have to do better.
You should know by now he's RFC's alter ego on here. Always good for a laugh, and always pops up to deflect a relatively sensible thread.
Must be nice to have mates in the media. What non story! After two professional council antagonisers in Patton and Nellist he's dug up another with an axe to grind (another who fell out with the party previously) and GCBTTR the only one man fans group that happens to be run by his mate Rob.
You are wrong on this point as Brighton Rob also has his mate Stewie from Bedworth in his group.
Said chap is only the figurehead however, that doesn't cure the fundamental issues.
Also let's make sure local business people with no past connections!
Ditto fisher.
Or dulieu.
All chosen to buy into the sisu way.

At least you know who they are to insult them I suppose.
1) do you want a public enquiry
2) do you think the sky blues trust represent most fans views?

Can Reid seriously not find anyone credible to back this? Not even an opposing councillor or even just someone who hasn't had a recent run in with being kicked out the Labour group.
to answer OP: of course not, its nonsense concocted by two or three people and would be a waste of time all around. It won't even serve the purpose of shutting up the likes of Torch and co on here as their decisions aren't based on logic or evidence and they'll rationalise it away like they did the multiple judges decisions.
No I don't want a public Enquiry. Les Reid spouts shit. Who are all these supporters clubs wanting a public enquiry? This is a political agenda which SISU are hijacking for their own ends and has nothing to do with the football club at all.
The best thing for the football club would be for SISU to leave and take all their litigation with them. Unfortunately they have cut their losses to a minimum so they can hang around and carry on their court campaign and stirring up crap like this through the likes of Reid.....
.....and if the council have done anything they haven't then who cares? It's not their fault, etc etc etc
.....and if the council have done anything they haven't then who cares? It's not their fault, etc etc etc
It just drags it on and on and on...................
The audit will get into the details on how the council use their funds.
Can't you see all this Public Enquiry is playing into Sisu's hands ?
The people listed by the OP all have an axe to grind.
Supporters Groups all requesting it. They are all small or Sisu driven.
Peter Ward is typical Sisu puppet and I quote ...
Peter added: “I am encouraged by the clear ambition of the board to move the club forward.
“Evidence of a cohesive strategy gives me renewed confidence that the Sky Blues will soon be climbing the league tables, but a degree of patience by fans is required. Given the off the pitch events of the last two seasons it appears a more positive platform is now taking shape to enable a successful football team.

There are very few people unhappy with what the council have done. SISU wanted ACL to go into admin and for the council to buy it back in the same manner SISU did with ccfc. The council didn't agree to that so SISU tried to force ACL into administration by withholding the rent.
What would you have done if you were the Council? Given in to SISUs demands leaving Higgs and Yorkshire Bank out of pocket?
The results of any enquiry would only advantage SISU and any political opponents of the CCC (Reid and Co). There would be no advantage to football fans or the ordinary folk of Coventry.
That is not insulting them, you are misrepresenting my comments to polarise a viewpoint.
To their credit, I appreciate that they are not faceless and will speak, answer questions, even to those with opposing views and do contribute to this forum.
They are City fans and they do a decent job on putting the fans point of view, although like all City fans nobody agrees 100% on everything, as is seen on this forum all the time.
So what? It's not about whether people are "unhappy" or not with the council. It's about if they conducted the sale to Wasps correctly. It's public money and assets they are playing with so they have to be whiter than white. Not sure why it's such a difficult concept to grasp. SISU have shown themselves to be crap owners with little care for us fans so I get all the shit they get. It's warranted.
What would I have done if I were the council? I would have kept the Ricoh. It's not going anywhere, ACL were supposedly doing nicely, CCFC had gone back after their year away and it could have been a new start. Do I mean they could have sold it to SISU? No, not necessarily but SISU won't be here forever. Unfortunately, Wasps are.
That decision has meant we will NEVER own the Ricoh and pushes SISU closer to trying to get a new stadium organised. Even if we were taken over it wouldn't be surprised if our new owners felt the same. The Ricoh was pretty soulless before, it's even more of a horrible place now.
Selling to a franchise was a massive decision and it needs to be scrutinized.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and categorising people as "SISU puppets" because they have a different viewpoint does nothing to come to a common ground for City fans.
What will enquiry achieve?
Will it change anything?
If by some strange reason SISU win in the Courts it will just go to appeal after appeal.
The only people who should ask for any sort of enquiry are rate payers of Coventry as it will be us who has to foot the bill eventually.
l
Said it once or twice already but will ask again, "what will it achieve"?
Who will pay for this enquiry?
I do not like my Council most of the time and unhappy about a lot of things they do but they have a job to do and that's doing what's best for us.
If it shows otherwise then there's a chance that CCFC could own their own stadium in Coventry.
