interesting how the FL are having a go at ACL but forgetting to mention HMRC!!!

Here's a thought. The words thought and Spion Kop are not natural bedfellows.

They were irrelevant so why mention them?

@Lesreidpolitics: 3/3 "It's categorically not the case the League failed to apply its own rules as the board retains the right to permit clubs to move ground"
This is unbelievable.
FL are cherry picking which rules it claims to have adhered to. What about the rules and guidelines re 'fit and proper owners' / failure to submit accounts / transparency / players contracts owned by company who doesn't own golden share etc.
I continue to be convinced that the way forward for supporters is a two pronged attack:
1. NOPM = force OTIUM to fold.
2. Massive pressure on FL both directly and v importantly indirectly through the media to embarrass and expose the level of incompetence shown in their awarding of the GS to OTIUM/SISU.

Ecky, Sir Ernie, Snozz, cheers. Maybe Sisu moving the club to Liverpool or somewhere might, just might, make people wake up. They're quite capable of doing anything.
Honestly I despair.
Just have a feeling that if we stick together we'll get the team back in the city. Sooner rather than later.
Let the others argue fine points of law all day if they want.

Not really irrelevant when they are talking about the actions of ACL in not signing the CVA has caused the situation..HMRC also did not sign the CVA. If ACL had signed the CVA it still would have been vetoed by HMRC's refusal to sign.
Really?

Yes, unlikely to be literally true, however as a general guide to the general views of the generality of people there - generally true.
Of course, but the point was that he believes those who disagree with him are being wilfully contrary or on the wind up. I was giving an alternative possibility.

My understanding was that HMRC was also a major ( not as major as some others) creditor therefore would need to also sign off on it??

I would suggest it depends which part you decide on however.
Reports back, reports at the time, speaking to people who were there, it does seem the prevailing mood would be a positive assertion of Coventry in Coventry.
Beyond that, things get a little more complex.
It is of course why divisions get greater and greater on this site and others however, the desire to categorise and paint into exact corners, the desire to descend to petty bickering as opposed to seeking out the common ground.

It would be nice to just sell everything to one owner and get rid of ACL and SISU and clear the air a bit wouldn't it

One new owner, untainted by any association with the past and yep, you have me

The general mood could I think very fairly be described as both Cov in Cov and anti-SISU.
The specific views of those I spoke to (a small sample to be fair) could I think very fairly be described as both Cov in Cov and anti-SISU.
I'm sure that there were others with different views, but I didn't speak to them and they were certainly not vocal in a noticeable way.

One day I might do something on a larger sample, just for the craic, like.
Wonder if the results would be accepted here and elsewhere unless the results tallied with the rules of the game

This statement beggars belief. The permission to ground share was granted long before the CVA was turned down. The whole premise of the FL actions has been the only other choice was expulsion. There were lots of choices, but none of them suited a SISU appointed administrator.

You thought wrong. There were 3 unsecured creditors - Higgs centre trust, the council and the revenue.

Not too late for them to call for mediation or arbitration...

I'd accept the results if you made your data and methodology freely available. I think you'd need a sample size of at least 500 though.

Straight off the CCFC website on the day the CVA was rejected:
"At today's reconvened creditors' meeting, all parties except Arena Coventry Limited and HMRC accepted the CVA proposals.

There is little evidence that anyone on this site (or others that I won't mention) accept anything that isn't in accordance with their own views (and yes, by implication, I do include myself).
However I think that the circa one thousand home fans attendance for the first home game of the season against attractive (by third division standards) opposition, is probably a pretty good indicator of the (general
) views of the "larger sample".

So? I repeat there were 3 minor creditors whose acceptance or not had no bearing on the acceptance of the CVA as collectively they were below the threshold. Higgs and the council accepted the revenue did not. If ACL had accepted the revenue as a non substantiated creditor would have been powerless. What do you not understand?
A little less outrageous than your claims the other night about your racial superiority and if all people think the same way as you, we would be living in the Third Reich.

It is.
Sheer numbers never reveal the nuances however. The conclusions from the numbers are usually spun in 97 different ways depending on whose agenda they need to fit.
That's the problem with where we're at, divisions and no way to move forward, as we're all trying to prove ourselves right rather than to question whether we are right.
It might be that we are right of course

Well, I can't speak for you, but I know that I am
Haha, I wondered who was daft enough to report it. It was a quote from the Brass Eye 'drugs' episode.
"Luckily, the amount of heroin I use is harmless, I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis. Fine. But what about other people less stable, less educated, less middle-class than me? Builders or blacks for example. If you're one of those, my advice is leave well alone. Good luck"
You going to flag it again?

Somebody really flagged that?
Fucking hell!
Lucky you didn't quote anything from Paedogeddon.
I didn't flag it last time and I won't flag it this time, but I am sure the moderators will soon remove it.
Your vile, racial posturing would shame this forum and all Sky Blue fans if you were a genuine member of either group. However, I suspect that you are a member of some looney right-wing group trawling for members amongst the more feeble minded members.
