Course we should look at decisions made grebdel it's just others, not least the people giving this award disagree with you and your thoughts when all things are considered
I never realised until lately how arrogant some CCFC fans are. Whoever has bestowed this award looks at all issues, not just things that affect a 3rd division football club. The world doesn't revolve around CCFC ffs.
This award obviously has nothing whatsoever to do with the football club, more to do with the city as a whole.
I'm not a Labour voter so have no reason to defend her. However when you all start moaning about this award, because she has done one thing you don't like, that just happens to relate to the football club, you make yourselves sound like a bunch of moronic football yobs.
We as CCFC fans are better than this, don't let yourselves down. We're not Milwall.
They took the best deal at the time rather than risk the Ricoh freehold. If they believe anything else they are not well briefed.

What an absolute wet blanket you really are.

She is a public servant - not a hedge fund. The councils treatment of this club has been a disgrace.
And in fairness to Lucas she can be voted out. Same can't be said for the officers of the council who provide advice and information to councillors.
The majority wouldn't give a fuck. Over 80% of the electorate didn't even vote for her last time.
As for facts - what facts? Those hidden behind un-minuted clandestine meetings and commercial confidentiality?
Maybe taking the decision to sell ACL to London Wasps Holdings behind closed doors in a private session of a council meeting, and the council's subsequent admission that they got the viability of ACL without the football club so badly wrong contribute to the public being 'not well briefed'.
The information was available to all the councillors prior to the vote and sometimes you just need to trust the publics decision of putting them in the job in the first place.
.
Surely 5,000 CCFC fans votes are worth more than the 330,000 rate payers votes. :facepalm:
Right but trust has to be earned. How do we know they properly scrutinised the information they were given? They clearly didn't when told that ACL was "washing its face"!
The fact that people wilfully omit the cultural impact a football club has on a place beyond those who go to the games is distressing.
Even more so on a CCFC forum.
We don't and even if we did theirs, yours and my opinion could be different. It's like trying to decide if SISU carried out due diligence properly? Or all those meetings and negotiations they had with ACL?
It it works both ways....and either way you and I will always be in the dark.
one thing that was made public....SISU we don't want the Ricoh we are building our own....several times pre and post Wasps deal. That might have influenced things?

Exactly the same positive reaction to Wasps then ?
I'd piss myself if you got taken to the cleaners for your slander.
Hold a view; yes. But articulate it better than that FFS
30 years of public service grendel. What have you done? What's the view like from the cheap seats where you do nothing to help your fellow citizens? Her years of service are what the awards for
Are you saying that a statement in an interview with local media carries more weight than the direct letter from JS to AL written last November. You know, the one where JS did say that SISU would consider a long lease?
Has anybody got a link to one interview were a return to the Ricoh is categorically ruled out?
I am saying they have never been consistent with their statements in public or in private, so the public perception they have created is down to them. Playing Hard Ball and trying to call bluff all the time can backfire. SISU created their own stratergy, they played it out, blew their own trumpet, then it blew up in their face.
Yes I am angry, because it is the football team you and I support. But don't expect me to come over all sympathetic for them. Public enquiry? Why not? I await a few more court cases anyway!
Surely she was highly remunerated and building a safeguarded pension pot during that period?
I pick my dogs shit up after his done the deed do i get one.
You know, when you throw personal insults around like that, it usually means you have no counter argument to what I posted.
You disagree with me because you think you have to, but basically don't know why.
When you resort to personal insults it only makes one person look bad, you. Decent posters wont think I'm a "wet blanket" because of you posting that. But they will think of you as being a rude man who couldn't present an alternative to what I have said.
So I am actually quite pleased you replied in such a way.
Citation reads. For her outstanding contribution to the City of Coventry for 20 years as an elected member, serving as its first female leader of the City council. Her work on domestic violence issues received national recognition when she was awarded an obe in hm the queen honours list 2014 and her role at the local government association as chair of the safer neighbourhoods group and national domestic violence champion. Thank you ann. Up yours grendel
The desire for public accountability isn't sympathy with SISU.
Council is about its ratepayers, The fooball club owners look after the team and its supporters,in most cases anyway.I have always paid for my ticket. you talk like a boy with no value.She is a public servant - not a hedge fund. The councils treatment of this club has been a disgrace.
