    Council won't get involved with Talks about the academy

    Mixed messages coming out at the moment. I think a lot will depend on the way SISU approach talks. If the other parties feel they are not genuinely seeking a solution but trying to get evidence for their JR's then I reckon the talks could get suspended.

    Council won't get involved with Talks about the academy

    So, why is that surprising, it is clear the only party that wants the legal action to continue is SISU, they are the ones on the offensive. If you want peace you have to either destroy your enemies or talk to them.

    The arena is leased from the council, Wasps don't have a freehold. Though unless they fold it is as good as theirs.

    Why don't you ever rein in Grendel then? He regularly insults people in particularly obnoxious ways.

    CCFC Letter to Planners / Council

    Yeah, no signing on fees, probably lower salary, it is quite hard to quantify. As for where the money went, its been spent, mostly on player salaries (not the players developed from the Academy, e.g. David Bell).

    A piece about what the academy has been worth to the club. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-academy-how-much-11761353 I think this shows clearly what I argued previously, that transfer income is irregular and not guaranteed whereas spending to maintain the...

    Another Reid biased view

    LOL, you don't understand my sense of humour. Actually the article is more measured than usual. I think it indicates a softening of attitude from SISU, maybe there is a bit of realism about the situation hitting home.

    Another Reid biased view

    On Coventry Observer (strange no text yet).. so can't read but it is gonna be usual artlcle uncritical of SISU (they can do no wrong) and scathing of every other party (AKA the conspirators). http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/save-city-coventry-city-call-multi-party-talks-academy/

    A lot of fans just want to see headline signings & success. They're not interested in anything deeper. However they are the customers & if you don't give the customer what he wants he isn't going to pay.

    CCFC Letter to Planners / Council

    I don't like his personality or politics. He claims he has a season ticket, but so did Lucas, if they do its probably for the networking rather than to watch football.

    Injuries mounting up. So much for the small squad theory, it only works if you don't pick up many injuries.

    CCFC Letter to Planners / Council

    Yeah, I think there are other gym/sports options these days, like that one at Allard Way. :angelic: Can't say I've been there for years. But seriously if it is a failing business the owners will need to do something, that may include selling off site to a developer.
