I think, and this is off the top of my head, CCC used their own funds before drawing down on the central funding for cashflow reasons so technically the money initially used was local but it's all tax payers money at the end of the day.

According to the council funding documents the freehold at the start of ACLs lease was basically worthless with the value rising as it got closer to the end of the lease. You would also have to buy ACL our and the reverse would be true, the longer the lease has to run the more valuable it is. I...

It's worse off against potential income I assume. To use everyone's favourite house analogy if your house was worth £500K but you sold it to someone for £100K you're £400K worse off even tho you haven't actually ever had that £400K. At least that's what I assume people mean. I think you can...

You're correct but I would be very surprised if CCC were taking legal advise and then not relaying it to ACL given that they have a 50% stake in ACL.

It's not a straightforward question as you can take 2 approaches. The first would be purely financial. Currently the council own the freehold and 50% of ACL. The value of the freehold I wouldn't have thought was being impacted too much as in the council document detailing build costs they...

Here you go: that was their statement when the original JR was thrown out, I would assume while the appeal is in progress the same applies And here is the link to the CT article I got the quote from: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/judge-throws-out-sky-blues-5667471

was it not the case that their legal advisers told them to stop making statements or talking to the press until after the JR? didn't the council say something to the effect of it being frustrating that they couldn't respond to SISU statements?

would be a touch hypocritical to not make himself known when he's complaining about people online being anonymous!

I wasn't aware Les had responded to people asking why he hadn't asked certain questions. Do you know where he gave the explanation would be interested to read it directly from Les so as not to misinterpret.

If Les is spending his time looking on here why doesn't he just sign up as Linnell did and answer his critics?

I really hope that isn't the root of it, he's in the wrong job if something like that is going to set him off! Maybe he's started believing his own hype and can't take anyone having a different viewpoint.

if that's the case then that's the response Les should give rather than flying off the handle. As I said if he hasn't asked the questions people wanted asked explain why if there's a valid reason such as the one you lay out. Flying off the handle and not responding to anyone that asks him about...

no idea, would love to know and I've tweeted him several times asking for a link to what it is that he's upset about but no reply. the only thing I can find is a post of the NOPM facebook page where Michael isn't happy with the way Les reported on the results of a trust meeting, this one here...

I don't think people have an issue with him interviewing Sepalla or even what she said. Its more the questions that as far as we know weren't asked. People want to know if they were asked and an answer refused and if they weren't asked then why.

I didn't say they had taken a dividend I said if the club was succesful and making a profit people wouldn't object to them taking a dividend. IMHO I don't think people are against the idea of the club and stadium being united they are just concerned, given the way SISU have operated to date, of...

He really seems to be losing the plot on twitter, think he might have to be careful. Didn't the former editor of the CT get the push for taking shots at people on there? If they start getting complaints he could be asked to explain some of his comments. For the last couple of days he only seems...

That's a very strange argument for him to make and would seem to be against free speach. Implies if you don't agree with a certain side you have no right to voice your opinion. surely some of those who are supporting NOPM / KCIC live locally and are taxpayers and have a right to air their views...

If you don't want any risk you don't make risky investments. They've invested in a risky business as they thought they could get a huge % return but that hasn't happened. They've gambled and they've lost. If they had guided us to the Prem and huge profits I'm sure noone would be complaining if...

what's the market value of the Ricoh? given that SISU keep saying it's a failing business would they really be able to sell a package of the Ricoh / CCFC on for more than £60m?

Where is this abuse / personal attacks happening? Les keeps stating it's coming from NOPM / KCIC (he doesn't seem to be seeing a distinction between the two) but I can't see anything form them on twitter or facebook. I've tweeted him several times asking for a link to the so called abuse so I...
