The Cov Bees site jumps out but hasn't that been sold for housing?
That would come under Rugby Council wouldn't it? Unless it was like Coombe Abbey where cov council own it but its in another council's area.
That was looked at before. Rugby council confirmed it with the Telegraph and CBRE stated they were acting on behalf of the club and an agreement had been reached. Owner of the land confirmed the same.The Cov Bees site jumps out but hasn't that been sold for housing?
I assume the post refers to the land between the A45 and Rowley road, a lot of which has now been dug up in preparation for Whitley South.Rowley Road?

Theres shed loads in there so wouldnt be that easy to find out which land they are talking about. Could sort it by size I guess?
Somebody better in Excel might be able to do something clever.
I think that the SQM is size of the buildings on the site. The HA is the hectare size of the plot i believe.
No it's fine, I doubt anybody is going to fork out 120 a month though
They've probably offered to build on Coombe Park.
I can at least be consistentThat’s the thing with Sisu. It’s never full disclosure, just enough to get the right people angry and leave enough confusion for that to ferment.
I’ll say it again, they are very very good at this stuff and it’s entirely intentional IMO.
I can at least be consistent
Council have always had questions to answer about their response to things, and also attempts at regime change are ve-ry dangerous indeed, in my view.
Wouldn't trust SISU as far as I could throw them however, and I'm no shot putter.
FWIW, this public war of words is just like when we went off to Northampton. SISU have more ammo this time but... it's exactly the same! Now, I don't necessarily blame them for releasing stuff, and if it gets people to question others' actions, that's no bad thing at all but... it's all from one perspective, and an attempt to win hearts and minds so that when we sod off, they take people with them this time.
But let's not start saying SISU in just yet!
You going for a world record in bollocks spouted in 15 minutes mate?Yeah yeah, vague “questions to answer”. The fact is every single politician of every stripe was onboard with the actions and none have broken cover to whistleblow on the terrible council.
The “regime change” stuff, sure if it’s proven. But you can’t have it both ways. Either the council should be concerned about the club if it thinks it’s being mismanaged, it it should treat it like any other private business.
A strong working relationship with the local authority is important to any major local business, it wasn’t the council that soured that.
I get this is all about creating enough doubt to get people to follow the club, a noble end even if I find the means dodgy.

You see, you're either playing devil's advocate, or going to the extreme the other direction for some reason. I never mentioned the sale to Wasps as a question to answer. Indeed, I've often poin ted out that it's highly unusual for every member to be on board with a decision - virtually unprecedented, in fact.Yeah yeah, vague “questions to answer”.

Wasn't the relationship soured years before sisu with the council? It wasn't as if everything was great until then is it?
That's not saying sisu haven't played a part, just that the council aren't innocent like you want to make it.
Creating enough doubt? Why is your dad and his mate from the trust doing their best to create doubt. Out of context lists of quotes that are completely unrelated to what they are disproving, rewriting things that have happened out of history.
Is that not dodgy too? I pointed out a change in approaches and a bit of desperation a few weeks ago. That certainly happened

I would like to know how that came about... but wanting to know that could just as easily reveal an answer that blows SISU apart as a hard done by victim.
I don't disagree that a business needs a good working relationship. Nor do I disagree that SISU blew the doors off. I do however think that certain of Mutton's statementgs were unhelpful and inflammatory in the extreme, and weren't what I expect of a council leader. I also think that a total refusal to be flexible in terms of rental agreement over the years (and yes, I too know how councils work in certain circumstances and, while I can appreciate why that may well have been the case, it doesn't mean I have to consider it the rioght decision!) contributed to nuclear options.
There's a middle ground, still, that treats everything SISU say or do with a healthy scepticism, and still waits for the smoking gun, while accepting that other parties have not helped matters either. It's like (most!) marriages that fall apart. If you look yourself in the mirror and conclude it was all the other party's fault and there's nothing to learn, then chances are it's all your fault.
(And yes, SISU's statements do indeed read like they have little to reproach themselves for!)
Mate, I have no idea what my Dads doing. I don’t even know his twitter handle. I do know his only aim, and that if anyone I’ve met from the Trust for that matter, is to get the best for CCFC as a fan of 50 odd years.
I don’t know Sisus aim, at best it’s to fuck over the Coventry taxpayer to push the club forward. I’m not sure how that sits with me. At worst it’s to outright steal an asset from us and do as much damage as possible in the process. Either way, I see the carefully left out parts that they could easily provide. An out of context quote can be found and contextualised, a missing email or location can’t.
Why won’t Sisu tell us where the site is? Why release this shit now? Think dude.
Frankly I don't care who your Dad is, beyond what I said before that he was always a decent poster on GMK, and it's a shame he's abandoned message boards!I won’t lie there’s a small element of devils advocate. But if I can make the case it can be dismissed by logic not accusations about my motives and my elderly relatives.
No mate you just talk utter bollocks. You ain't no cov fan.I won’t lie there’s a small element of devils advocate. But if I can make the case it can be dismissed by logic not accusations about my motives and my elderly relatives.
Remember Blair and wmd? Most agreed as not all of the information was given to people. Just saying.Yeah yeah, vague “questions to answer”. The fact is every single politician of every stripe was onboard with the actions and none have broken cover to whistleblow on the terrible council.

You mean like the condition that ccfc and crfc can't be damaged because of the move?Remember Blair and wmd? Most agreed as not all of the information was given to people. Just saying.
People can only make a decision based on information given to them. I’d be surprised if all of the councillers were given all of the info to back their vote. If they were then more shame on them.You mean like the condition that ccfc and crfc can't be damaged because of the move?
Tbh...I like that. Would prefer a unique design as opposed to a straight copy - but that for me would be perfect were it ours & a template for others rather than us taking someone elses template. 20k max (with expansion potential) is all we can sustain really - even if we get to the Championship.Could SISU get involved in something like the new Wimbledon stadium? 90,000m2 land. A 20,000 seater surrounded by houses.
