Do we know about costs yet?

If the Higgs lose all the money that they invested in ACL because ACL becomes bankrupt (through the company's own actions and not because a third party tries to distress it) that's tough luck for them. They invested in a limited company and should that go bust well that's their bad luck - same...

Whilst that's a possibility it's not guaranteed and I would be surprised if Sisu had gone ahead with the proceedings knowing that they were very unlikely to win. I'm hoping that this provides the stimulus for either concrete (pun not intended) news about the new stadium or future talks on a...

I'd agree with most if not all of that.

But they're a part owner in the stadium management company and we're not, we sold our half and the attached benefits to the Higgs. Despite having the option to buy the shares back from the day we sold them, and therefore become partners in the management company we've never done so.

That's the SCG meeting he was at this evening apparently.

Was going to say that I was slightly surprised that Tim visits pubs with fans given the Brentford incident. But the SCG makes sense.

Maybe they haven't told their partner and want it to be a 'nice' surprise or are worried about their reaction :D

Someone I once worked with said that the USA couldn't be all bad because they'd invented wrestling in jelly. ;) :D

I actually thought it was the council that wouldn't allow it and were stalling the planning permission. ACL allowed the badge to go up regardless and then both them and the club got into trouble over it. Memory not what it once was though and may be wrong.

This sounds very positive and I really hope this brings the good news we all want which is a return to our home, Coventry. Well done Michael for getting this far and I will keep my fingers crossed.

When originally proposed by Mr Labovitch on CWR, the purpose of the forum was so the financial accounts/state of our club could be explained to us. Also Mr Waggot would be there to talk about the football side of things. No point in the council being there for that.

What is the nature of your emergency?

Think it was under McGinnity.

I agree about Richardson and if one of the rumours I heard are true from that era, the board were one of the last to know about us signing players and that the manager was also sometimes in the dark. Sisu must have known that the club was a basket case when they bought in, it was hardly a secret...

I thought that the construction company was supposed to be Birse and they threw in the towel when having built the crisp bowl for Leicester, the East Midlands club ran into financial difficulties and couldn't pay for it all. Sure I read somewhere that they said they wouldn't touch football club...

Not Saint Joe of Coventry surely ;)

For what? The fact that I left my bag at the house of a mate who went abroad the next day, or my reading ability? And why the hell would they care how far I am into the transcripts?

I've only just got to the early bits of day 2 so so far for a variety of reasons and have therefore mostly read the Sisu QC painting a picture of the council as deceptive, lying bustards. I will get to the council QC shortly and what he says in response. For me the news so far has been that Joy...

Don't care how much it cost the Higgs that's their problem, I don't know who has paid for the army of Sisu lawyers in that case and I hope it isn't our club and the costs being added to the debt mountain.
