How aren't they? You need to look at the situation in the whole rather than specific parts.
As much as people seem to be trying to brush the points to one side - after the Wasps deal was completed Fisher said the following -
"City’s chief executive, Tim Fisher, insists they do not regret failing to buy the Ricoh, saying they could not agree to taking it on, as Wasps have done, not only for £5.4m but with the council’s £14m loan on the stadium still to pay. Fisher acknowledged the widespread scepticism at Sisu’s claim it will build a new stadium but said the company has recently made “giant strides” towards completing on land “on the outskirts of Coventry”, at a location yet to be revealed. Fisher said Sisu is not “playing a game” but genuinely planning to build the stadium, while enabling commercial development that will make it financially viable and produce year-round income.
“The scepticism is misplaced,” Fisher said. “We are moving the club to a self-sustaining model and are looking to grow, in a new stadium where we will have our own matchday and non-matchday revenues.”"

Last January a Five Point Plan was put forward on the CCFC website saying that the Academy and first team training were going to be amalgamated in single facility -
"CCFC is moving towards the fully integrated football model whereby there is no longer a silo model in which Academy and the first team group rarely work together.
Dismantling the silos both promotes the acceleration of young players’ development and is aspirational for the younger players – they work with the first team group which includes former Academy players – therefore encouraging others to follow the very same pathway.
The vision incorporates a first team-Academy training facility – a facility that is designed and built to facilitate and future proof a Category One status. Having the first team and Academy working on the same site inspires. "

In March last year a minuted meeting was held involving Fisher and Rugby Council regarding building of a new stadium and incorporating a joint Academy and first team training facility -

Whilst I'm sure they'll be the - 'Yes but Fisher is full of it' and 'That doesn't mean CCFC were handing in notice to leave Higgs' as I said earlier business are about making money - why would they leave themselves open to having facilities not being used? Why wouldn't you work with a company who have stated a long term interest?
Furthermore, how could the council/councillors have foreseen that SISU wouldn't have wanted to move forward in this manner outside of the city?
You can't protect something that's outside of the area you have control over.
The fact the plans were either BS or didn't come to fruition aren't the fault of CCC/Wasps/Higgs/ACL.
I just don't buy into this 'poor old SISU' nonsense that some seem to.
The club has been on it's arse for years and SISU have done nothing to help the situation, in fact we're at one of our lowest ever points and people are just pointing the finger of blame and coming out with all manner of conspiracy stories etc.
SISU have tried to play people and constantly been caught with their pants down.
The fact I hold these views seems to mean I'm a Wasps fan apparently (despite those saying this not actually being able to back it up' or that I'm not a 'true CCFC fan'.
All this repetitive nonsense just needs to stop and stock being taken of the actual situation.
If you don't agree with someone opinion and you've told them two already do you really need to go over it again (and again and again) on numerous threads?
People are talking about organising protests, action, petitions etc but being absolutely honest I really don't think the vast majority of the city are arsed either about CCFC or Wasps.
The City of Rugby thing has come about because money talks - it's not more proof of a master plan to kill CCFC dead in the water.
As I've said on a number of occasions I point the finger of blame re our current situation squarely at Tim Fisher - to quick with a soundbite but his track record of them coming to fruition is zero - sorry one, moving to Northampton, which I suspect he also didn't think would actually come to fruition as he thought ACL/CCC would back down once the threat of moving the team had been made.
I want CCFC to still be around for my kids to also force their kids to follow, but squabbling isn't going to make that happen either here or amongst the main protagonist in this ongoing drama.
All parties need to get round a table and work out what can be best achieved for all parties.
At this point, unfortunately, CCFC are not only the ones holding the worst hand their also the most vulnerable - whilst the other parties should take this into account, so should SISU. It difficult to give it the big I am when you're actually not.
If you've reached this fair in my ramblings, firstly well done but also don't think I hate CCFC and love Wasps just because I look at the bigger picture.
Hopefully much sooner, rather than later this bigger picture will look far better for CCFC than it currently does.
