Well there's the problem with the new stadium spelled out, they're running at it - not planning it :facepalm:

+1 to all of that.

What I heard Mark Labovitch say on the Shane O'Connor show on the iPlayer was as follows E & OE Sounds like they have heard of rent deal to me.

Mark: Judicial review is a really serious thing you know it’s not us suing the council ah you know in perhaps the way that ACL tried to sue Northampton town you know but what it is a deal was agreed I a really great deal for the whole city of Coventry because it would be having the ricoh managed...

For those that can't get the iPlayer: Shane: There’s been another twist in the tortuous talks between the city council and the sky blues over the possibility of the club returning to the ricoh arena there are reports today and I think they were in the papers yesterday as well that a rent free...

Maybe they're just not talking to each other directly, like couples (married or otherwise) who split up and only talk through lawyers despite being in the same room.

With the greatest of respect to the late Sir Higgs, PWKH and the people who run the Higgs I really wish you hadn't bailed us out and had let us go bust/into admin all those years ago.

Legally ACL is a separate entity (owned by both the council and the charity) who have the lease and therefore they would have to be bought as well. Legally just owning the freehold will not hand over ACL as the Higgs could block the sale of the council share to a purchaser (although this is...

Are you calling Joy, Tim and Mark liars because as late as last night Mr Labovitch said we were building a stadium.

I still don't know what benefit our club would get from owning the stadium as opposed to the revenues from the ACL lease, Sisu Capital Partners yes but CCFC no.

No we should be challenging both sides to prove things they claim so we can make our own minds up. The claim from Tim and now Mr Labovitch that they have signed deals from the council - can we see the documents please and the plans for the new stadium which you promised. ACL can you substantiate...

Can't listen yet as I'm at work but it sounds like we're going to be playing at Sixfields for many years at this rate if a director of the company doesn't know something basic like that. The New Stadium is Plan A isn't it (he is quoted in the Coventry Telegraph story as saying as much today) so...

Also possible, or they're hoping that there is a chance we'll return and haven't moved on just yet. Despite statements to the contrary from Fisher, Seppala & Labovitch we don't appear to have moved on and as a result we're no closer to getting back to Coventry in our new stadium.

None of this is funny, it's tragic.

I thought they were putting together a back-up plan for the use of the pitch in case we ever moved out. I guess it's lucky for us that they either haven't implemented it or can't find a tenant who can move in yet.

Actually I'm not surprised the didn't given the fact that SISU are currently in a court battle with the council. Whilst SISU would be ill-advised to sue the football league - never say never, and that's probably what the FL are trying to avoid.

I've had telephone offers to do just that at work, I have to refer them to the manager who then takes delight in telling them to stuff off.

And possibly the signed documents that Tim allegedly has from the council.

What a surprise.

+1 to that.
