I must confess I'm confused by this. SISU are complaining to the Council about Higgs - where's that going to get them? I'm sure that Higgs don't want to sell to SISU because they've been burnt once already. I can understand that, but I'm still not having that the Wasps deal is in the best...

All of this is entirely fair, I wouldn't expect you to have to swear on your children's lives. As you say though, things have popped up on here in the past that were completely made up, and I don't think it's unreasonable to challenge them. As for Coventry having some nice places, where have I...

Those articles come from October 2013, mine represents the situation as stated at August 2014. I can if you wish, dig out the even older "Hell freezes over" (before we sell to SISU) quote from the council. It would make no more sense than what you're saying above. You'd like to believe that...

If the club doesn't want the stadium, then why have they expressed an interest in the Higgs share of ACL? I've stood up for the council a lot in the past on this, but I think people's understandable hatred of SISU has blinded them to the fact that the club weren't (at the least) offered the...

Rather than you try to interpret my argument, which seems to be confusing you, let's cut to the chase here: You said "They (SISU) were aware it was for sale.". You've provided no evidence of that. I've given you direct quotes that say that the Council thought, upon CCFC's return, that there...

There's nowt wrong with Aldi. Great chocolate, decent bike gear. But I don't bump into Wayne Rooney as often as I used to at Tescos. ;) And in truth, I still don't see Baker pushing a big trolley around Costco, getting a pallet load of bog roll to save a fiver, but I'm happy to have my...

Really? Because to be honest I think you're making things up to try and suit your argument. Here's the article with the "acting leader of Coventry City Council" welcoming the club back to the Ricoh. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/council-chief-need-time-rebuild-7651892...

You could well be right, but I'd honestly be surprised - it's an OK place to pitch up, but it's not exactly mock-tudor and Bentleys. I thought most of the senior players headed out to leafy Warwickshire or Leamington, so they could avoid bumping into blokes like me. Saying that, Marcus Hall is...

RT, at the risk of going around in circles, you're not going to put an offer in if you're not aware it's for sale though, are you? The last thing the council said publicly was that they were welcoming the club back and looked forward to rebuilding trust. I think most people would, not...

The big flaw in this that I see is that Baker has been on, conservatively, £200k a year for a long time. I doubt he lives in Coventry or shops in Costco. I've no issue with either of those things btw (I like Aldi personally) but it's just that it seems a little unlikely. Regardless of that, I...

I think when they talked about rebuilding trust etc., that was a reasonably clear indication that ACL wasn't for sale - either to SISU or third-parties. And again - when did the Council offer the same kind of deal to CCFC that they've given to Wasps?

No guessing required mate. At what point did the council admit that ACL wasn't profitable? When did they offer a deal to SISU along the same lines as the one offered to Wasps?

Off the top of my head, there are only two Prem Rugby clubs left in London, so they're not exactly competing for fans. It could be I'm missing your point here though. As for Swans and Ospreys - unless Swans are renting from Ospreys then this is a completely different situation. Are they...

In fairness, these analogies never work - but if you were selling your house, you probably wouldn't tell one party that it wasn't for sale, whilst dealing in secret with a completely different party. But of course this isn't about selling a house, it's about getting the most for a council asset...

I'm sorry, but like all other claims management companies, we're not allowed to publish the personal details of our customers. Or our success rates. Or how much we charge. Or the fact that you could manage your claim yourself, for free, and keep all of the subsequent rewards. Other than that...

The obvious fit here would be Wasps owners, surely. Now that they own ACL they'd get a substantial benefit by picking up and improving the club. Not that I'd trust them with the stewardship of the club either, but from a financial angle it would make sense, imho. Every season I think that...

I'm starting a claims management company for this: Are you owed money? If you've been hurt by your team's performance, then you need to claim. NOW! Mr CJ, Coventry. "I was promised quick, free-flowing, exciting football. But I went all of the way to Crewe and it was nothing like that. I...

In fairness I think that some of our kids will be on less than many people here - Sunderland's players are going to be on five-figures per week I'd guess. If our players had to pay refunds for every poor perfomance they'd all be broke by now. ;)

No worries mate. I'd say the key is to try to stay as calm as you can (not easy I know) and avoid confrontation. In my experience there's not much point in trying to be nice about it and talking to them - mostly it's a waste of time, and it just gives them a target when the police/council do...

See what you're saying, but in truth very low attendances at Wasps will be proof enough of what a crap idea it was for all involved, as far as I'm concerned. I'm reasonably convinced it was the low attendances at Sixfields rather than anything else that brought us back. But yes, personally...
