I'll leave it after this, because I think if you feed the trolls too much they keep coming back. However, the one thing you're right about is that most JRs fail. 85% fall when they are first assessed by a judge. Of those that fail and ask for reconsideration (in effect, appealing the original...

Sunshine, we've been here before. I've done research and provided evidence - you've ranted, disappeared, and then popped up again with a new username. I think it's pretty clear who got embarassed.

Lots of very decent people work for the Council actually - including some of my immediate family. Cov CC are the town's largest employer, as I recall. For a fanatist twot like you to call them a disgrace is beyond the pale. Why don't you go away and come back again in a few months with a new...

Would you stop it now. You agree with TSB because you are TSB! And you complain about others swearing and then pile into it yourself. Get a grip man. As for your legal points, they're about as flawed as in your previous incarnation. When did SISU last go to court for a JR (other than against...

Well if anyone can do it, then do it. The simple fact is that you're making a claim to have been involved in countless cases against the council, but can't offer any evidence for a single one. The most obvious reason for this isn't to protect your identity, it's because you're lying. In fact...

Actually, no swearing in my post at least. I remember that other fellow quite well. He too, was completely convinced that the JR would lead to fines and damages to paid to SISU by the council, though he too was very short of actual evidence when challenged to show a precedent for that in a...

Really - can you provide a link to one of the cases you've been involved in please? I think you're lying, frankly, but I'm always happy to proven wrong. You don't have to surrender your anonymity for this, obviously. Many JR judgements seem to be anonymised, as below, and I'm presuming that...

Right, leaving aside the other stuff, here's someone claiming legal knowledge who doesn't quite grasp Judicial Reviews. There aren't any fines associated with a JR. Even if the council lose (and personally speaking, I think given the apparent strength of the first judge's rejection of the case...

Mate, I'm not giving you a penny after the way you've treated the club. However I understand I can stand at the top of your drive and see at least two-thirds of your TV. I'll wrap up warm, and no vuvuzelas obviously, wouldn't want to wake the nipper. (This could run for a while yet). ;)

Jesus - talk about damned if you do, and damned if you don't. What would you have Ann Lucas say? If she says nothing then there'll be fifty fans with placards outside the council house again, and Les will seemingly be very, very unhappy.

Interesting - maybe it's just me, but I think that's a reasonably positive statement again. The door isn't closed. As for the tit-for-tat, you can hardly blame either side if the public statements of the other contain what they feel are factual inaccuracies. But read it again... "I am...

I still don't see it. If you build a £30m stadium with say 50% on finance, you're still going to have to find an awful lot of money to pay the mortgage. The key to a sustainable club isn't related to ownership of the ground, it's to do with making more money than you spend. If you're spending...

Elegant summary, I agree entirely. If I could get it into 140 characters, I might even respond to LR, but to be honest I haven't got time for all of the aggro I'd probably end up with on twitter. At least here there's enough space to explain why one holds an opinion.

Well they don't have a particularly good history when it comes to negotiating in a straightforward way, do they? The Higgs Trust claims to be out about £30 - £40k as the result of preparing Heads of Terms etc., for SISU's proposed acquisition of their 50% of ACL - costs that SISU said they'd...

Why do the council need to commission an independent valuation? That would cost taxpayers money, and it seems unlikely that either side would respect each other's valuations in any case. If SISU have got a figure in mind, then let them make an offer. They seem to like doing these negotiations...

Well, I think others have already done it, but it seems that Man City are Swansea are at least two clubs that lease their stadium. Believe West Ham might be heading down that road too. Walsall rent and survive, at a higher cost (£460k) and lower gates than we would have, though in their case...

Still, in truth, a little confused. Surely they're losing more money than ever now, with even less prospect of reversing it?

I'm pretty sure there's more than one successful club that doesn't own its own stadium. As for your fact that CCC have refused to talk to at least five potential owners, can you provide some evidence please? If SISU have moved on from the Ricoh, fair enough and so be it, as you say. i just...

Can't really see how you can draw that conclusion, in truth. By any number you want to take, SISU's investment in CCFC has been a financial disaster. I doubt they've lost the £60m they claim, but they've taken a beating hand over fist ever since they've been here, and that's going to continue...

In fairness, I don't know the exact figures, happy to see evidence from anyone who does, but this suggests 500k in champ, 1.5m in the prem. http://m.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/810246 Take your point on the additional rent per seat over a certain amount, which might not have made it such a...
