Further to all the comments and media attention, discussions have taken place to bring sides together and as a result, a meeting has been scheduled for Thursday 8[SUP]th[/SUP] of August 2013 at 10.30hrs (venue to be released to only confirmed attendees), to aim at bring together all parties so that all relevant can sit around the table under CHATHAM HOUSE RULES to bring about a resolution to this problem.
The only people being informed of this meeting are the people listed as invitees below. Therefore, should this email or meeting leak out, it will be deemed that the person leaking details of the meeting, does not wish the meeting to succeed.
Furthermore, the parties involved and spoken to so far, wish to have a frank and open discussion (hence CHATHAM HOUSE RULES) and make sure everyone will be adult and sort things between everyone with NO LAWYERS present.
- People (at either my request or requested by some of the attendees) to be invited are:-
o ACL – Jackie Issac
o Arvo – Name of representative/s to be confirmed
o Ex-Coventry City Football Club Player (name to be confirmed)
o Coventry City Council – Leader and Deputy – Cllr Lucas and Cllr Townsend
o Coventry City Council – Management Executive – Martin Reeves and Chris West
o Coventry City Council – Opposition Leader and Deputy – Cllr Blundell and Cllr Allan

ONCE AGAIN NO LAWYERS TO BE PRESENT
As you can see from the list, there is a cross section at various invitee’s request, to make sure all parties are able understand the severity of this situation and make sure that all parties have input to resolve this solution. Thus, the reason that Lawyers have asked to be excluded because it is felt that they do not understand what is situation viewed by each invitee, the media, the people of Coventry and most importantly the fan base. Other factors I have been asked to make people aware of:-
- Total clear the air talks and open talks
- All sides will be able to hear the feedback from the fans and the media – so all sides can understand how you all being perceived
- At the end, a decision will be made on what the way forward is
- What is allowed to be released to the media (if anything)
- All discussions within the room to be done under Chatman House Rules
In summary, I trust and hope that you understand how important this meeting is and that you will attend and be a willing participant in this meeting. Should you wish to discuss this more, please contact myself on 0871 971 1010 or 07908967993.
