Not agreeing with your opinion, does not make the CET biasedIt's not that surprising is it...? The official council mouthpiece (CET) did something very similar.
Just more propaganda from both sides.

Surely you would expect the ccc or ccfc sites to spin it their way and the cet just put the facts?

The amusing thing is that those who didn't comment or have a concern when Reid has his position criticising Sisu.
The same went for Nikki Sinclaire of course,
It's the sycophancy that gets me, "Was all "Les, Les, look at this?" or "Nikki, Nikki, i wrote to you, you're great", and now it's all "Simon, doing a great job", "Simon, could you look into this?", "Simon, any new club owning scams to write about?".

I think this is just a comment on another broken promise from CCFC/Sisu "clubs promise to post the key points on its website"
Of course they are going to put their own spin on it, but why make promises that they have no intention of keeping?
I would expect the football clubs site not to comment until its over; not to run a skewed iteration of their truth, sanctioned North Korea-stylee, edited by Winston Smith. Tell me, is there a running commentary on the council web site?
And for the Telegraph to run the story factually, with a flavour of the reporters view; with was to be frank a touch anti-council of stance under Reid. And less so now.

Great to note that at least someone on here can 'see the wood from the trees'.
Got it in ONE!
Reid primarily had a council bashing stance on this. It may have been a view jaundiced by his dealings with certain individuals in his political role; but his appraisal of both sides wasn't measured.
Even now, at this late stage, there's no smoking gun. If SISU win, it'll be a hollow victory gained by a process of distress now all but the insane acknowledgeme, coupled with a nuance of European competition laws. That's not how Reid offered commentary. Not even close
What is it like in Brum today, has the judge turned up yet?Great to note that at least someone on here can 'see the wood from the trees'.

To be fair that article from Les Reid was N Opinion piece not a 'news' report, so was entitle to put his opinion/spin/angle of events in that article. I have no problem with that, pretty much every broadsheet and red top has opinion pieces, and people don't always agree with those.
Re: smoking gun. Was thinking this morning that perhaps the smoking gun was in the 2 arguments that the judge deemed irrelevant to the JR?

The Coventry Telegraph are reporting the facts as said in the court case. They may be reporting it from the view of the fans but at least they are not leaving out major facts like the club site is doing. The club site have written "CCFC agreed a £400,000 a year rent deal with ACL" and then nothing about the fact Joy said no way, I will only pay £100,000.Do not read the club account of the case as they have only half of the facts on there.
To be fair, I had big big concerns over Reid, but I rather like Simon's reporting, but then I'd say that is so because it is less opinion & more factual, others may beg to differ, but that is their prerogative.

No mention of the 400k rent deal going back up to silly money after 3 years
That was one of the things we actually did learn...
Does it matter if it goes back up after 3 years? That's all the time Mr Fisher said he needed for his vision to build a new stadia. Back to the Ricoh for three years at £400,000 then... Bam! Just as the rent goes back up, off to the new home to reap a bountiful harvest of pie income.
The judge (legal expert) deemed the 2 arguments as irrelevant, therefore no smoking gun there surely.
But they didn't have a break clause in the contract.

I guess I went off on a tangent of asking whether it really changed anything rather than engaging in bickering about bias by one side or the other. My apologies Nick, I'll try better in future to shoot messengers and not the stories they tell (or don't tell).

400k rent deal of Dec 2012 would only have been for 3 years then open to renegotiation says judge.
Not really, there may have been some questionable tactics/decisions, etc that did occur that may have contributed to breakdown of the relationship but it wasn't relevant to the JR. Doesn't mean it never happened, doesn't mean it did.
SISU taking cov to Northampton had no relevance on the JR, as it happened after the council loan. Still happened, still compounded the relationship breakdown, just no relevance to the JR.
I still don't understand this base position that newspapers report events objectively.
Of course they don't, and they never have!
So it just comes down to whether you agree with the stance taken or not whether you see it as objective. (you in the general sense, as opposed to you specific)
Not up to your usual logical standards mate.
There is a difference between AL Jazeera/BBC and Fox News/Daily Sport. There is a reason comment/opinion and news are separate sections in the paper.
