    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    Yes, SISU are well aware of that. They know the tactic of involving people in time-consuming and costly litigation. Indeed that was Joy's threat to involve the council in time-consuming and costly litigation if she didn't get the Ricoh on her terms. SISU also used this tactic recently against...

    I'd take coming back without being under SISU.

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

    Yes, I really think more thought should have gone into this. The council leader is a city fan. This is about getting city back to the Ricoh by applying pressure on the council. Getting a Tottenham fan as candidate against the council leader - and without any history with this campaign, or a...

    No, she's close to admitting she's absurd.

    Great. She should just pick up the phone and ask for it. Then CCC should say come to Cov and let's talk about the price. No mention of picking up the phone though in her article/ end of term report.

    The same goes for misspelling Coventry on the programme cover.

    'I don't for the life of me see why a long lease could not equate as good as any freehold but have the council ever offered a route to this?' Are SISU asking for this? If they were, then that would be a good question.

    I agree with Grendel and the way ML went about this. Nick gave him a selection of posters with differing opinions. It was off the record and his meetings were in small groups. There was no chance of agendas being discussed in advance. In this way he got more honest and frank opinions than at a...

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

    Whether or not it is a good idea, I think it is just cobbled together. They asked a guy if he would do it and he said yes. He is campaigning on a CCFC platform and is a Tottenham fan, has been in two other parties and has not yet put across any clear strategy ( it's no good saying CCC must...

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

    Have you seen his "I am a Tottenham fan" video on YouTube? I would say after watching that and knowing his past changes of party, he lacks coherence, eloquence and just sounds embarrassing.

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

    Not really. The JR is costly and time-consuming when the council should be doing other things. I would ask someone suing me to drop it, at least whilst we are negotiating on something else. It would be strange trying to a deal with someone who is trying to get you squirming uneasily in a court...

    'We'd be better off owning the Ricoh but sisu can't be trusted'?

    Both sides need one another - no matter what they claim. There is a deal to be done and the price has to suit both sides. Even if their own valuations are light years apart, neither side can carry on in a state of war. Apart from the money, the publicity is destroying both sides reputations...

    Stressing at the right price... I agree with you on this.

    Someone heavily involved in the club says that the council were only ever interested in making money..... Wow, that's it then... Joy has said that her priorities are her family and her investors. Where is CCFC in that list? Or the community of Coventry? The football club should indeed be...

    'We'd be better off owning the Ricoh but sisu can't be trusted'?

    It would help if SISU stated exactly what they want and asked for negotiations. Until they do that we can only speculate. Joy has said she doesn't negotiate and until that changes we are stuck where we are. The council have repeatedly said that the door is open and Higgs have repeated that...

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

    You still haven't answered my question. How do you expect Brian to get SISU to negotiate with the council when they are constantly maligning the council? If they want to restart negotiations, then Brian will have to stop them slagging off the council. There is no point trying to move the council...

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

    What would that be? It seems to me that Justice Leggat was quite clear that he was referring to the "case" being a nil nil draw. Maybe that doesn't fit into your world view. Neither did the Higgs article. Nor that the costs were to be borne by both parties and not that Joy generously paid her...

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

    No. The judge was referring to the whole case and when referring to the costs he said he would have ordered both parties to pay their own costs. ML tried to spin that in saying that SISU agreed to pay their costs because Joy recognized that Higgs was a charity. Utter bullshit and totally...

    Words from our owner

    Just guessing...but will it be an answer to the charity that she said she wouldn't do down? She has been put in a bad light by the latest article. This is her last chance before the elections and the JR to have her say. Huge spin attack and appeals to all fans to rally behind the club. CCC the...
