The legal dispute is a Judicial Review on a single, specific issue. There's no breach of contract, SISU as far as we know do not owe the council any legal debt. There's nothing stopping CCC talking about anything else they want to, or more specifically joining in with any mediation that...

A well constructed posting as ever OSB, but I think there are a couple of things I'd pick up on. There's no indication of CCC being supportive of CCFC moving into the Butts. Far from it in fact. Sharp's statement clearly says that CRFC won't deal with SISU, and I think we're all agreed that...

No, you're struggling with your reading again. There's a mediation in progress that the council could get on board with. They're not. I don't mind that you've got a different opinion on what the council should do, that's fine - but the pretence that there isn't something that they could do is...

I've read it mate, though funnily enough it hadn't been released when this discussion started. Are you sure you have read it though, you know properly that is, without moving your lips and dribbling. I find the key is to proper comprehension is grasping the context - I'd hate for you to look...

On board with mediation Tony. You know when I said you weren't daft, I'm having my doubts now. What's the point of getting started on anything in the city of Coventry if the council are clearly hostile to the idea. The best way of outing the idea as rubbish would be to go along with it and...

Would gently differ - there's a bit of a training area and the buildings and car parks too (have just googled it). Regardless, I'd totally agree that I wouldn't mind selling it if we could come up with something broadly equivalent or better. Like you, I'm not daft enough to believe that that's...

Which is absolutely fair enough John, except that I don't think that there's ever been a story quite like ours. In fact, I'm thinking of turning it into a musical. (Tom Hardy has expressed an interest in playing Fisher, he likes dark, conflicted characters). However to focus solely on our...

In truth Pete, I don't think the indoor part of the connexion would be up to it as is anyway. Ryton's a bit bigger than two pitches though isn't it? Been a long time since I was there but don't you have the pitches, a training area plus the offices, canteen and changing rooms. A fair size...

If it's not up-to-date, then by definition it's not current. ;)

Where's the evidence that SISU will leave after JR2 and Ryton are sold? Are you sure that you're not playing your own little internal charade here John? Even then JR2 could take years. I suspect that you've become so obsessed with 'beating' SISU that you'd be happy for that to happen. And...

Isn't the point here that it would be a lot easier to do if all parties were on board, including by definition the council? You've accepted now that they've tried to block a possible move to the Butts already, I think. Unless you're a bit daft, and I don't think you are, I think you'd also...

Sounds like you'd kill the patient to cure the disease. You've realised that SISU aren't going anywhere at the moment, right?

If that's the attitude then it's also not rocket science to suggest that you're facing the real possibility of the club leaving the town, tumbling further into the abyss or folding entirely - perhaps all three! Maybe that's OK for you if it's the price of getting rid of SISU. but I'd rather find...

What strikes me also, is that this seems like a circular argument. If Wasps become insolvent, then a key part of the asset value is supposedly that of the Ricoh lease. But what is the value of the Ricoh lease without Wasps playing there - surely it must be substantially impacted? It could be...

The condition about not playing professional football at the BPA? That has never been in place - the council tried to get it added when discussions about a ground share with CCFC became known. This is a matter of public record, SBT. EXCLUSIVE: This leaked email reveals council bid to block...

That's a good post shmmeee. Personally I'm not asking for the Council to do another Ricoh in terms of putting public money in, I'm just asking them to support us finding somewhere else within the city given that the Ricoh is looking less and less like an option. At the moment everything the...

Have you ever heard of a man named Pavlov? ;)

It's OK, that's the Nuneaton line to the Ricoh. It's not like there's more than one train a day anyway. I'm sure they won't mind waiting whilst the opposition take their corners (and subsequently celebrate their goals), for our side it's obviously academic. :)

We should just submit the application as Wasps. It'll get waved straight through then... ;)

No - the JR2 sits entirely separate to this. The council couldn't be seen to deny PP just because SISU are taking them to court. They could make it much harder though, I'm sure.
