Next 2 games are huge now, lose those and we could be in big trouble looking at the run of fixtures we've got following them.

You could easily get round that. If the FA and / or FL had forced SISU to clearly show why they couldn't accept the deal offered by ACL and why it was in the clubs best interest financially to groundshare and then build a new ground outside the city do you really think they could have provided...

It's a fair point, on one side you have ACL who deal with lots of other organisations with no issues. They even got nominated for an industry award for being the best venue team to work with in the country (got down to the final 3). On the other side you have SISU who have fallen out with ACL...

That in no way stops SISU purchasing a 50% stake in ACL.

That's exactly what they should have done, called SISU's bluff. What option would SISU have had, they could have either agreed a deal to play at the Ricoh or walked away losing all their money. Sure some will say they could have liquidated the club but they did that anyway and 'new' owners were...

Totally agree with this. If SISU did due diligence, identified the issues but didn't think there was a problem then the blame lies with them. If SISU did due diligence, didn't identify the issues then the blame lies with them. If SISU didn't do due diligence then the blame lies with them...

What an odd stance to take, how could that ever justify everything SISU have done? Let's for a minute say that SISU wanted to buy the Higgs share of ACL and were blocked by the council (bearing in mind the information currently available to us suggests SISU walked away having agreed a HOT and...

I don't think they particularly get on at the moment do they? Didn't the FPA cut all ties with the club following the move to Northampton? Speaking of which how involved is the club with SBITC these days, can imagine having the club involved is more of a hinderance than a help the way most...

I suggest you read the minutes from the last couple of meetings and compare them to earlier meeting, there has been a huge change in tone which coincidentally coincides with the club taking control of what is released from the meetings and published by themselves. Prior to that we used to get...

The whole tone of the SCG seems to have changed in recent months and from reading the minutes it now seems less about the fans point of view being put over and more a chance for Labovich to place the blame on anyone else he can and accuse people of all sorts of things.

According to the rules this should have happened this season but the FL chose to ignore their own rules as usual. I imagine next season it will be scheduled so Northampton and us are at Sixfields on alternate Saturdays.

Are you saying the land wouldn't have been available, as in it wouldn't have been cleared? We'll never know that for a fact one way or another. There's plenty of Tescos built next to nothing in particular so I don't think there not being a football stadium on the site would have been an issue.

I don't have the emails to hand but I seem to recall them making it very clear that if they got involved in the new stadium group they would do so while being clear that they opposed a stadium outside Coventry. What do you suggest, that they ignore the wishes of their members?

I remember my Dad driving me to Cheylesmore shops after the cup final and there being people everywhere. Queued up with him to get a copy of the Pink and there was people running around celebrating, drivers honking their horns etc. Seems like a millions years ago now.

It's very simple, the trust are the largest representative group of supporters and if they have a vote on something they go with the result rather than just doing what the handful of more active members and / or board members think. Not sure why that is viewed as a bad thing. This is the...

Didn't they already do that? Sure someone did and the FL weren't interested.

Thinking about it anyone who's good at their job has probably gone elsewhere, such as Dan Walker and not been replaced so with a smaller staff and all the best staff gone this is the sort of mess we end up with.

I'm not sure Tesco think having a football stadium causing traffic jams on matchday is a plus point. The other stores and restaurants could still have happened without the stadium being built.

The trust asked it's members to vote on if they should request to be involved, making it clear that being involved would not mean the trust was endorsing the club being located outside of the city and the members voted in favour so they requested a place on the committee and were rejected by...

I'm aware that SISU aren't directly running things like this but why is everything to do with the club such a complete shambles.
