Not at all, one can criticise the council without defending SISU. Their attitude towards SISU, whilst it may have been an understandable attitude from there point of view taking into account SISUs past actions. Their attitude, whether it is justified or not has undoubtedly contributed to the...

You must have been in hibernation for the past 2 months.

It's not a defence of SISU but a criticism of the council. If the council didn't take the attitude you had expressed the club would now own the Ricoh, Wasps wouldn't be here and we'd probably be at least a mid table championship club but no this is much better I'm ecstatic the council held...

One thing it does confirm, the new stadium is still as realistic as it was 2 years ago.

That's the exact attitude from fans and from the council that has gotten us into this place and meant that the Ricoh ownership has now fallen into the wrong hands for the next 250 years.

Just pointing out Higgs 'reasons' for rejecting our bid were equally bollocks. They never had any intention of accepting anything other than the Wasps offer.

It's disappointing you feel that way. You shouldn't let your feelings for our owners affect your loyalty to the football club, I hate SISU but I don't let that stop me and I'll still be at the Ricoh every week.

The conditions were a joint community partnership between the club and Higgs doing things like building links with schools and youth clubs and special emphasis on under privileged children and those with disabilities, turning the Ricoh into a community hub with an IT cafe, library, recording...

You should go, who knows maybe we will even win. Just remember our loyalty should be to the football club, not the owners.

The telegraph reported that our bid was almost 2.8 million so it wasn't much less than Wasps offer.

I'm anti wasps and sick of the cheerleading for them on here but our owners don't half make it easy for some people to turn there back on the football and join the wasps bandwagon.

Neither would I to be truthful but I doubt SISU have a case.

Just read the article SKY Blues' owners are going to the High Court over Coventry City Council's deal with Wasps for the Ricoh Arena, we can exclusively reveal.We understand papers have been lodged at court today by Sisu, two days before the former London rugby club's first Ricoh game as...

Based on what grounds though?

The council never had any intention of selling to SISU. I recall Fisher saying numerous times, we need to own our ground, if that can't be the Ricoh then we need to build up our own ground. The notion that SISU were never interested in buying the Ricoh before Wasps came in is ludicrous. The...

It was bullshit because they never had any interest in a partnership, as evidenced when they bid against CCFC for the Higgs share. You normally talk sense but you're way off here.

I think so, Wasps and CCC said first contact wasn't made till recently though. Can't remember the exact time, I think it may have been about a year ago so December 2013.

It was bullshit to pacify Coventry fans, swallowed by many it seems. They had their opportunity for a partnership when CCFC bid for the Higgs share, they rejected this opportunity by continuing with their purchase of the Higgs share, Wasps aren't interested in a partnership. CCFC are underlings...

Allsop is a goakeeper Pennington has been here for about 2 games Webster isn't aggressive enough in attacking the ball Martin and Madine should bag a few from set pieces over a full season as well as Johnson Haynes, Barton, Finch, Nouble and Thomas haven't shown any sort of aerial ability in...

I doubt it, it will all go to paying Andy Goode's wages for a week.
