    Marilyn Knatchbull Hugessen answers questions

    Officially I think the last thing was they were in talks with 2 sites and had a HOT agreed with 1 but couldn't tell anyone where either was or give a timescale on when anything would be announced.

    Marilyn Knatchbull Hugessen answers questions

    The thing that always strikes me with statements, interviews etc from everyone other than SISU is that what they say is fairly consistent and seem somewhat balanced (at least as balanced as a statement from one side ever will be) and plausible. A lot of what we hear from SISU appears made up on...

    While ACL do appear to have moved on somewhat and concentrate on their own business unless we get to a point where the stadium bowl is converted for an alternative use it will always be available for us to return. The only tricky part will be that they are taking bookings which block out...

    Fisher has spoken

    Noticed that, assumed it was just the way it had been written. Would you expect offers to have been made when the transfer window is closed, is that even allowed?

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Should it matter? No. Is it likely to be an issue? This is football fans we're talking about, you can pretty much guarantee there will be sections of our support for which this will be a big issue.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    This is why I think it needs to be made clear exactly what he is going to do should he win the election. At the moment it appears the GCBTR candidate is not actually running under their name, has a track record of changing parties, is a Spurs supporter and was against the council assisting with...

    It appears they don't have one and if you ask you are a supporter of the council ;)

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    I see the smear campaign is underway and it's being claimed that Patton isn't a Sky Blue and actually supports Spurs. Whilst you can of course support the cause without supporting the team given that you would imagine the majority of votes would come from city fans thats not going to be a help...

    Cyrus Christie

    He had a decent 15 mins against York in the cup, that's about all his time here came to!

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Agree with you there. As I've said before the solution is very easy. The club purchase Higgs share (and pay for it, not put it on the never never!), they then clear the loan and purchase CCC share. CCC then move the lease to say a 99 year lease with peppercorn rent. If the club (i.e. SISU) want...

    To be honest not too bothered about what party Churchill was, he wasn't saying he could get us back in Coventry.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Again you have plucked something out of thin air. I have not said its impossible for an independent to win I have asked what they will do if they do win. Should they get in and the rest of the council place Patton in charge of getting the club back to the city what then, what is their actual...

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    As i have stated many times I have a distrust of the current owners and in light of that my preference would be for the club to own 100% of a longer lease and CCC retaining the freehold with the lease having triggers that should certain events occur (place the club in admin, separate club and...

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    How on earth have you taken asking about this groups strategy being somehow defending the council. God knows how you then went from that to Churchill! So the entire strategy is beat the council, then what? The council is on it's knees and tells GCBTR to go ahead and put their plan into effect...

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    What is the strategy, there doesn't seem to be any mention of how they will facilitate the return of the club to the city?

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    So he's your candidate but not standing as GCBTTR (having already been Lib Dem and Labour), sorry, but to me that sounds like he's figured he can get a few votes by associating himself with your cause. While we can all agree getting the club back to Coventry is the number one priority this chap...

    Feature on central news tonight

    Has anyone heard anymore about this? Think the deadline for candidates in the elections around now so we should see which wards and being covered and who has put themselves forward.

    US business man planning to launch bit to bring CCFC back to the ricoh

    Indeed but that was more to do with the group themselves than the platform it was being run on. I would say it is more likely people would distrust a company like this than companies like kickstarter or indiegogo who have a decent track record.

    Louis Garner being released

    Bit strange when it's been said we'll be bring up 11 academy players next season to see players who appear to be doing well are released. You just have to hope that those in charge of these decisions know what they're doing!

    Pressley: League 1 survival would be 'unbelievable'

    The Arsenal money would not have been budgeted for and its unlikely it was budgeted for Clarke to suddenly hit form and be worth a few quid. Are you saying that when SISU, prior to the start of the season, stated they would cover any drop in revenue due to lower attendances at Sixfields weren't...
