If Sisu drop the legals now (please god) wasps have said they will talk about a deal/joint ownership agreement. If they go back on that, then there would be absolute uproar. Wasps know they depend on the goodwill of the local community, (and you can argue that theyve been lucky so far) so I...

They certainly didn't help themselves, all sides told lies, not just to each other, but to the public. But I doubt whether that will be of much concern to the courts. My concern now is not just for the immediate future of ccfc, but for what sisu plan to do when they ultimately loose the next...

Nick, I think your just he'll bent on winding me up. I'll respectfully ignore your posts in future, please feel free to do the same to mine. As you obviously have nothing to add.

I hear your point. But the public asset was about to become a massive drain on public finances. (Once sisu made public their intention to build their own stadium) In hindsight of course it was all Bull shit, but the council couldn't sit around and do nothing.

Ffs, some people just don't get it. No fucker wants the club gone, but people need to understand why decisions were made, any idiot can come on here and say the council are a bunch of tossers, but how many understand the political situation behind the matter AT THE TIME!. understand this...

I don't shoot down my argument at all, to put it bluntly the council by this time had decided to wash it's hands of both the Ricoh, and ccfc, despite any public statements they made, the reality is that they got rid of a potential massive problem at the very first oppertunity by selling to...

Nick, you have no argument other than calling every side out! I’ve yet to hear you come out with any rational argument that could be put against the council in court. ( and I’m not defending them I’m pointing out the obvious that you seem unable to grasp) Sisu are doomed to fail yet again, and...

'Option 3 was never going to happen because the relationship and trust between the two parties had broken down. By the time ccfc returned all sides were playing games with each other, and neither could be trusted. Empty or not, the Ricoh arena is untenable without the football club. It may...

But that’s NOT what the case is all about.

But that’s not the court case. The case is whether the sale to wasps represents “state aid”

It wouldn’t of fucked ccfc over at all, because ccfc were going to get a lovely, brand new stadium. It’s true, sisu, Tim and joy all said so. Whether you believed it or not is irrelevant.

I’ve said it before, the council are also to blame for this fucked up situation. But people need to put themselves in the councils position at the time of the clubs exodus to Northampton, and the statements regarding a new home in the city.

Well done you, but that’s not an argument that will hold up in court, it’s just your opinion. The fact that it could be true is purely chance. The council will say they were faced with being lumbered with an empty stadium so took the opertunity to sell it. Their argument is based on facts...

Unfortunately, believing it or not dosnt matter, sisu will be shafted in court by their own previous statements. THAT will be the legal argument, mine or your opinion on who was telling porkies won’t matter a jot. The council will say, they made a business decision based on the public...

The loss of what football club? When the announcement was made to sell the Ricoh to wasps, the club was going to have a new ground within the city! So no loss of revenue, no impact to the local economy, just an empty Ricoh. You can’t use hindsite, to slate the decision to sell.

But there WILL be a football club here, Timmy said so !!! AND they’ll have a nice new stadium!!! Honestly, it’s as if some people on here don’t believe a word he says!!!

I’m not trying to defend the council at all, they have their part to blame in this situation. But over 95% of coventry’s Council tax payers do not attend the Ricoh regularly. Could you imagine the uproar that would happen if the council had to make further cuts in public spending, or...

I agree with your sentiment, but unfortunately that isnt going to stand up in court.

the council have a duty to act in the best interest of the local tax payer. NOT a privately owned profit making hedge fund who renaged on a legally binding tenancy agreement !

What did you expect the council to do exactly with the empty stadium? Tim had said the club were leaving to build their own stadium and promptly flounced off to Northampton! The council were left with 2 clear options. 1, find another tenant. 2, find a buyer. If you don't understand that, then I...
