    Judicial Review

    Coventry council didn't mess with SISU - SISU said sell the Ricoh to us at our price or we will tie you up in expensive litigation. To me that is SISU messing with an elected body. The council should not be involved with the Ricoh, but up until now I haven't seen a valid alternative. The door...

    Judicial Review

    No it's not. The rent is still due. The money on escrow is a security and should be repaid. Or at least that is what happens with my tennants.

    Can CCC lodge an appeal?

    How do you know they will lose? All that has been said is that SISU have a valid argument - not that they are right. It got to this stage by a rent strike by SISU. PUSB YES YES YES imho!

    Cov Back To Ricoh speaking to Ann Lucas Today

    How do they come to the figure of 20 million? Average Gate was around 11000 for 23 games. How much did these people spend have to spend per capita to get to 20 million?

    Does Anyone Remember 'Happy' and His Regular Coach to Away Games?

    That Liverpool game was another when I just jumped into a coach to get out of the way… Our coach had broken down on the way anyway and it was going to be a gamble getting home. Was a really foggy and slow drive home.. the atmosphere in the ground had been great though..

    Does Anyone Remember 'Happy' and His Regular Coach to Away Games?

    I was there too… we had to wait behind after the game before the police let us out…. outside the police suddenly vanished and I landed with West Ham fans following the city fans to the coaches… got rumbled and ran to the coaches… jumped on one and the driver pulled away… the windows got put...

    Does Anyone Remember 'Happy' and His Regular Coach to Away Games?

    You mean Mad Alex and Bobby…..Mad Alex invited himself to my 21st. Was really nice on that night, but always seemed to land himself in trouble normally..

    Another Rumour

    How far from Earl Street? 9 miles? I don't know if it is, but that was a figure quoted recently for "if a perfect site was found". Would be a coincidence. Solihull sprawls almost to Cov.

    43 years ago today

    Was also there at the home tie ( we were even 2-0 up )..... I mention it occaisonally ( beating Bayern ) to my German customers.... but no-one here in Northern Germany believes me... makes me feel like an old man telling stories... they get better as you grow older.

    Sisu have their arses slapped again

    Whether SISU are entitled to the papers in your opinion is not the point. It is the judge who decides and if SISU's action is thrown out as expected, they don't need to see anything except their bill. Why would anyone look forward to Coventry tax payers being put in their place by people who...

    Coventry City owners invite council to talks over Sky Blues returning to Ricoh Arena

    I view the fact that JS will now be writing as great, but she could have done that without this tit for tat statement. We have to move forward and end this endless speculation. A meeting away from the crowd to lay down once and for all, where they can agree and where not is what is needed. What...

    Coventry City owners invite council to talks over Sky Blues returning to Ricoh Arena

    Joy could have replied to Ann's statement by writing to her privately, arranging a meeting with no preconditions and then come out of the meeting with a joint statement whereby both sides confirm what they have agreed or not agreed. Then we would all know where we stand and in which direction...

    SISU has ripped the heart out of 8,000 supporters.

    Leave the guys alone. The point is that SISU have scewed up. FACT. No need to split hairs with loyal fans.

    Is the the nail in the sisu coffin?

    Yes, about the credit note in normal circumstances...but I would send a copy anyway as proof of the transaction. The league should have had a tighter control by this time. Obviously though in this case, they didn't seem to care about the details. Honest Tim is said tongue in cheek... As regards...

    Is the the nail in the sisu coffin?

    No, I am not a detective and I won't be going to the Sweeney...but...I used to work in a bank and this letter is sloppy to say the least. It also shows how lax the league is. A normal business would issue a credit note and send a copy of this with a covering letter to the league explaining what...

    Is the the nail in the sisu coffin?

    Just looked at the letter re McSheffrey. Look at the bottom - left CCFC Holdings Ltd and right CCFC (neither Holdings nor Ltd ). Signed by CCFC ( neither Holdings nor CCFC Ltd ) but refers to CCFC Ltd in the letter. Designed to confuse the league? or others? Otium Ltd is now trading as CCFC -...

    Discussions - just an opinion

    They are not very good at running a football club though and in 2011 their hedge fund posted a loss of 272000,00 pounds. So, although I agree that Joy ( thus SISU ) is sharp in some fields, I think that she bit off more than she can chew with CCFC. Some of her CCFC board appointments were also...

    Piss Up In a Brewery!!!

    The unreasonable rent was an agreed rent. The world was different before the "crash", it sounded like a good idea at the time and was for a brand new 110,000,000 stadium. Both parties signed the agreement. The agreement should have been challenged by SISU at the latest in 2008 - when the...

    john mutton

    As I understood it, he met Joy Seppala and she was supposed to find investors to develop the area and therefore create jobs as part of any deal. Nothing happened. Mutton is a big City fan, but he wants an investor who does something for the city. SISU hasn't come up with the goods. "get out of...
