1) Those who actually have a public and recognisable face (the Council) have a duty to safeguard the interests of the City ratepayers. As such they will try and get the best deal for them.....some of whom are actually supporters of the club too. If new owners come in the Council may offer - with...

Doubtful this will ever happen. In any case my motivation is not to be proved right, simply not interested. Important that the club can somehow try and distance itself from the sins of its erstwhile "benefactors" Can't see how this can happen without starting over.

You're new to this? If you go back five years and examine the "facts" you refer to then you'll find your answers. If afterwards you're still unclear I am sure you'll find someone to lift you out of the fog.

This is pretty much my position too so I am certainly not laying all the blame at Sisu's door. However, we are where we are. If my son gets arrested for GBH I would accept that I have a responsibility but that would not extend to my doing time for his crime. Sisu are culpable and they have to...

Haha! That's good! But, when you haven't a leg to stand on you'll think of anything.

Sorry, but this doesn't do it. How can a club, any club, be successful when those calling the shots are so demonstrably inept? The past five years are the best predictor of the next five. This applies to people and business. Until we get someone different who understands the essential skills...

If exposing dogma, bullshit and hypocrisy makes me a "pious wanker" so be it. I'll never yield and I've also got an enduring memory.

Correct. People who berate the CCC should remember the history behind the sale of HR and the building and move to the Ricoh. Blaming them is absurd.

Correct. And we need to take that hit in the hope that it makes us more attractive to someone who can bang a few heads together and sort the club out.

Would you rather deal with a sincere man who "looked" stupid or a liar who "looked" clever? To me, at any rate, this is a no-brainer.

Yo Rob, what you drinking? Me, I'm having a drop of Barbaresco.

:p:p:p Iknow, over 8,000 posts too, propping up an anonymous hedge fund. Imagine sharing a drink with him.:facepalm:

What you on about? Relax, your ire is not doing you any good. You've lost the ability to think straight. Chill.

Never spoken a truer word. I did the same this evening....the contrast is quite bewildering!!:p:p:p

If you think it was the Council's decision to sell HR then I cannot help you. Indeed, you're probably beyond helping.

I'm right with you Larry. Not laughing at you but WITH you. And I think you're right too. pusb:claping hands::p:guitar2:

If the local authority hadn't come to the rescue would we have a stadium at all? Further more, when whoever owns the club buggers off the council (who are democratically elected to serve Coventry) will still be here to pick up the pieces of a club which, as GINETTA points out, has been run into...

Yo Bazza, Not sure that fits in with any possible scenario. The CCC have already stated they will not sell to sisu. They have burnt their bridges.

As we (well, almost all of us;) ) have been saying for a very long time - Sisu are a busted flush. 1) They have no money 2) They are hanging on for reasons of pride and reputation alone 3) They have made the tactic of "throwing good money after bad" doubly idiotic by appointing a series of...

What about that land on the other side of the railway track? Who owns that?
