nope he still has more plans lined up to take us further down

you are assuming we are currently ffp capped and that is the reason for low player spend, not just we don't want to spend money on players. I don't think this is accurate at all.

perhaps, you could make a very strong arguement though for owning 50/50 with the football club being in their interests though as long as the football club wanted to pull in the same direction.

Yes we do know its not a good bid, it doesn't matter what the bid says when they are telling us they arn't in it for the long term, thats all we need to know for the bid to be bad at least for wasps (who I'm assuming have veto power). Even if we don't belive them (and I don't) you still have to...

This is my point though if sisu believe the game is rigged and they can't win then they should be putting in a good offer that we can all agree with, then if/when it's still turned down we would be angry with higgs/wasps whoever it may be. As it stands higgs/wasps have every right (and it's...

While I agree with you it's not just Fisher, Joy said the same thing in the Observer article.

I still I want the bid to succeed, but I'm near enough 100% convinced it won't because if I put myself in the position of ACL, Wasps or the Council even as a Coventry City fan I wouldn't accept it so how I can in good conscience expect them to? and its down to how stupid the bid is. To me that...

If Wasps took on a partner who were thinking short term then they won't be able to develop, it won't in sisus interests for money to be spent building hotels or pubs that would pay off long term, it won't be in sisus interests to improve the ricoh as a venue if they plan to compete with it, they...

I think its probably a done deal too but that makes it even more stupid that sisu are taking this route. They should at the very least be gaining a hearts and minds victory here but they aren't going too because everyone reasonable can see the offer isn't reasonable. If Wasps have a veto then...

Agreed but they should mention the new stadium and insist if they are the winning bidders they won't be building a new stadium, that they will be Coventry in Coventry for the long haul, that they will be doing their best to work with wasps improve the experience at the Ricoh, build it into a...

Sorry Simon but this is the sort of thing that should be in the article and not just a list of Tim Fisher quotes without challenge. Obviously you could be a bit more tactful in asking this sort of thing to Fisher but ask you should. Along with does your "Generous offer" at least match or...

What would you and Grendel have to post about if we'd not hired Thorn, multiple managers ago and it's still the go to everytime someone wants to change the subject or put someone or a group of someones down

Ground rent is the most obvious difference, it can be very significant, of course it can also be almost nothing. There is quite likely restrictions on what can be done on the land and they will quite possibly have to seek permission for things, of course since the council want development done...

I believe the general public isn't well briefed about almost any issue, do I think that if the conservatives felt this deal was a bad idea that it was very strongly in their best interests to vote against and come out and criticise labour? yes absolutely 100% I do. It would be very easy to...

How could you possibly know? all you can ask from the people that run the country is that they vote for what they believe is the best interests of the country (rather than themselves, their party, their religion, what will get them reelected etc) and wherever possible obtain expert opinions...

Les Reid was clearly wrong (I'm being generous here). We have no way of knowing weather the labour councillors were whiped to vote that way but the fact the conservatives voted for it suggests they weren't, or at least didn't have a problem with being whiped this way, He even said 14 councillors...

Not quite as simple as that but sure they are very strongly encouraged to vote with the party sometimes, and presumably sometimes with a stick. Not sure how that changes what I said though. The fact that the conservatives in the council (be that as individuals or whiped to vote that way by the...

you realise of course that the opposition councillors all voted to sell to wasps as well? it's the one reason that makes me think the deal really must be in the interests of the city because the opposition don't normally miss an opportunity to make the other side look bad, it's far to rare...

The problem is it wasn't an interview, it was just the views of Seplla written without challenge, any decent interviewer or journalist would have had something to say to nearly every single sentence she uttered. Not doing this is the reason Les Reid was criticised when he worked for the...
