Played out with JR1. This was then just followed up with JR2 from a different angle. If that is rejected next month I wouldn't be in the least surprised if they put forward a JR3 for some completely different reason to continue the process. The 'it will never end' was hyperbole and I think you...

That could be going on for a decade or more. The legal process has played out and SISU. But all they then do is attempt to start it all over again and take it right back to the beginning with 'new information' or arguing a totally different point. Even if SISU won one of their challenges this...

Starting to fill his frame. Kelly and Meyler have filled out their 6'2'' frames. I think Meyler may not last the 90mins, but hopefully he'll do enough during his time on the pitch to tire Luton out and allow Bayliss to come on and concentrate more on his creative talents than fighting a...

Possibly, but if you allow Kelly to play a little further ahead of Meyler he still has enough passing ability to worry Luton he'll put the likes of Thomas, Bright or Hiwula through. But he can also add a greater level of physicality than Bayliss should it be required

He gets dispossessed far easier than most and doesn't win the ball back that often in a midfield tussle. Ok, at least he tries to actually get past his man, but he fails more often than he succeeds.

So you don't think their stance would chance if the ownership changed? I agree that they consider CCFC as SISU (who do after all exert the control over the club and its parent/operating companies) but I don't think it's that they're not willing to help the club, just not while SISU has control...

But didn't they always have the potential back-up of playing at Wembley if necessary? So they did have somewhere they could fulfil the fixture

Fines and points deductions? Probably have to forfeit the game rather than re-arrange a date?

It is usually around times like now his face starts turning up in the media again

Which is why they got a rent deal done last time. During that time SISU have done nothing to try and improve this situation to prevent it occurring again. There has to be a time where you turn around and say "enough is enough". You can turn around to a naughty child and tell them no more, but...

To be honest it's tried all the time. If you read most of the contracts on User Agreements it contains stuff like "you can't hold us liable for such and such" or "you cannot claim damages etc". They're totally unenforceable if the company hasn't fulfilled necessary steps and safeguards. SISU...

You'd need to do a lot of knocking down buildings around there now. Can't be used for this purpose (well, legally I'm sure they could overcome the hurdle if they wanted) but Hearsall Common in that area would probably be big enough (though the local road network might need upgrading, but it is...

No. Just understand the differences in how it's structured and who the burden falls upon.

I said it didn't cost the taxpayer much, as in the money was not taken out of taxpayer fund. The council took out loans which was a massive and unnecessary burden for them. It COULD have cost the taxpayer, if SISU had managed to get the stadium for nothing. They charged the club the same rent...

No, the council took out loans to help pay for it - that is taking on a financial risk. HR had a buy-back option that the club couldn't afford to pay - it'd run out of money to buy it back. Are you suggesting the council should've bought it for them? The Ricoh was agreed by the council due to...

Actually the stadium was built as a multi-purpose entertainment complex for the benefit of Coventry's residents, to boost the local economy and to kickstart regeneration in North Coventry. The football club were a small part of that. It was certainly not built FOR Coventry City fans. Coventry...

How would I tell the difference?

People seem to have either very short or selective memories. As I put above, in the past the council HAVE supported the football club - far more so than any other sporting team in the city. They took on a HUGE financial burden and risk in ensuring the Ricoh was built in the first place - they...

I'd have thought because the legal framework supercedes anything said by a regulatory body. The league know that if there isn't a legal reason to bar directors/owners there's a real chance they will have litigation from those potential owners if they do. That's why so many unsuitable people get...

TBH I wouldn't really mind if someone else won it this year - it's got too predictable. Last two years Hamilton managed to get inside Vettel's head and that won him the title but from testing so far the car may just be enough to negate that mental edge. Would love to see Ric win a title but...
