OSB - you are hinting at double standards, and I agree. But the different standards are caused by different rules and legislations. A public body - like CCC - is not allowed to spend the taxpayers money in a way that is commercial unfair. A private company on the other hand is not restricted in...

Ah, right. I remember it vaguely. It's not uncommon to agree a sum for the abillity to do a due dilligence. Could be it. But good luck geting that money if the terms were agreed with Limited and not sisu/Otium/SBS&L directly.

Maybe the obstacles are put by other than sisu?

Interesting.

What case is that?

There are a few variations of why it didn't happen - but I guess a more precise version will emerge from the JR hearing in a few months.

I think ACL should be owned by SBS&L - or liquidated and replaced by another stadium management company. That's the only way the club will benefit from all activities at the stadium.

We call ccfc 'our' club, yet we don't own it ...

Many posts are about this evil 'hedge fund' and we all think 'Gordon Gekko'. They are supposed to strip us of all assets and throw away the rest. All while they make a ton of money. But so far they have only managed to act as your common capital investment fund. Investing £30m or maybe even...

A 'Coventry City B side' ... what is that? Who is that? I don't think it could be a side from ccfc, I am pretty sure that wouldn't wash with sisu. And if you are thinking 'Coventry Pheoenix or AFC Coventry' then that would be a totally different club - not one connected to The Sky Blue Trust-...

F***ing sisu - sabbotaging their own destruction plans for the club! What are they thinking making a move aimed for the future? Especially as the NOPM has bled them completey dry of all their funds and chased away all their investors. It's a cospiracy - or a smoke screen. Surely?

Oh, a lawyer ... then it is bound to be Appelton?

Hoffman? That would be a really clever move.

I think written replys are better.

So basically you ask the Trust to sue FL because they won't answer your mails? Beware you don't become sisu.

I admit I sound like a broken record, but arguing that NOPM is somehow working in favor of sisu is a new one.

The first investors sisu brought in have been replaced with ARVO WHO now owns Otium. This is important as it shows sisu's abillity to attract new investors when the other are 'used up'. Should they buy the Ricoh or build a new stadium the Money will most likely come from investors not present...

True - the 'wall of debt' put up by sisu made a hostile takeover impossible. But it wasn't the outcome ccc wanted.

I think there is a growing minority who are starting to put more blame on ccc. Today it is totally 'legit' to say ccc have done wrong without immediately being called a sisu plant. It wasn't always the case. Oppinions changes as more facts comes in to the public domaine.

That too, but I did say 'indirectly hitting ccc'. It is creating headlines that there is only about 2000 fans attending 'home' games - that fans are showing their disgust and protest by staying away. If the politicians do nothing they will be seen as weak and incompetent. So NOPM is hurting...
