    MEP makes fraud claim against council over Ricoh funding

    Councils are easy targets for accusations as they are advised against suing for things like libel as it is considered a waste of money. You can accuse a council of pretty much anything and you're not likely to get legal action taken against you unless an individual on the council decides to take...

    MEP makes fraud claim against council over Ricoh funding

    With a bit of luck she'll get no votes and that will be the last we hear of her.

    MEP makes fraud claim against council over Ricoh funding

    This seems pointless to me. Unless the implication is that CCC have pocketed the money somewhere along the line does it really matter? I don't see how this benefits the people of Coventry or helps with getting us back to the Ricoh.

    Time for Plain Speaking

    Let's say one of your companies, that is using a property owned by another of your companies, but is losing millions every year. You could get rid of that company but before you do you could make sure the company you're getting rid of has a nice long lease where they have to pay the company you...

    what will be are starting 11 next season ?

    Would doubt Delfounseo will be here. Murphy and Wilson are out of contract aren't they, have either of them indicated they may re-sign? When is Bakers contract up? Could see him agreeing to a new contract, seems to like it here and is settled with his family.

    Time for Plain Speaking

    Here's a question, obviously there's no right answer as it's all opinions but as some on here place the majority of the blame on ACL for applying for administration (although not actually being the ones to put us into admin) what do you think would have happened if ACL hadn't done that? At that...

    Coventry City Council have Failed CCFC

    Has the Herbert gone then? Had no idea not living in the city. Sad to hear, spent many an hour in there with my Dad in my younger days.

    CT investigation into new stadium

    It makes little sense to me. If anyone else was looking to buy land, for any purpose let alone a stadium, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to identify a site that's for sale and make a bid. It's not like people wanting to sell land are going to be keeping it secret, it would be in their...

    CT investigation into new stadium

    Or Friday's story that CCC have such far reaching powers that they could block SISU from purchasing land outside the city. Does of course raise the issue that if they're so powerful won't they be able to block planning permission?

    Wasn't it Labovich that stated 2 companies working together to distress another is illegal? Would be very odd to go to court if your case was going to be based around you having broken the law!

    Time for Plain Speaking

    FFP is a seperate arguement to getting the club back to the Ricoh and I'm sure there's a way around any issues with FFP due to the way CCFC and ACL link in the event that the club owns 50% of ACL. Of course you then have the arguement over if this is the correct thing to do, is trying to get...

    Time for Plain Speaking

    The obvious thing to do is complete the deal with Higgs for their share in ACL. We'd then have 100% of matchday revenues, 50% of all other revenues and a 50% stake in the company we have to agree the rent with.

    Football League are Asking Questions About the New Stadium

    With regard to the money due to SISU why is it that it can't be paid until the old Ltd company has been liquidated? I thought it was a condition the FL place on Otium, as part of handing over the Golden Share, that they paid it. Given that Otium is not the company being liquidated what is...

    CT investigation into new stadium

    Noticed when Labovich was on CWR on Friday the story had changed from not being able to reveal the location due to the danger of all those other companies who want to build stadiums in the 'Coventry area' getting in before them to can't tell you as CCC will prevent the sale. Wasn't very clear to...

    Good point, the FL should be able to give a limit as to how far away from the boundary of the city they deem acceptable.
