Yes the Council do have a lot to answer for!
But does anyone seriously think that the Council would have got involved in the first place if they knew what was going to happen.
If our previous owners hadn't have sold Highfield Road and then went Cap in Hand to the Council and the Higgs then who knows where we would be now.
CCC/Higgs have obviously had enough of the whole situation and got rid off it to the Only serious bidder.
Sisu shout and ball all they like but do nothing bar say no one will speak to us are they really trying hard enough I think not.
Sisu have made no serious offer????? Joy has said she is happy with the Deal will not stop it???
There are other agendas here we will have to wait and see what the next chapter holds?
God Help Us...
On a brighter note 3-0 City tonight
Looking at the deal they are about to do with Wasps, it looks similar to the deal SISU claim they were about to do to take on ACL and pay off the £14.5m bank loan before the council pulled out.
I think the council are every bit as guilty as SISU in all this and CCC have let their personal vendettas lose the people of Coventry City a home and also any chance of future success.
Had they remained impartial throughout, I feel the club would have been in control of the stadium for a couple of years now and we would probably be in the championship with Wilson, Clarke, Moussa, Christie etc
She put a deal that was better than this on the table 2 years ago and everyone lost it, started the "media war" and said that they'd sell to Sisu "when hell freezes over". I wish that she had kept trying the same thing over & over but you can see why she gave up on it.
How much council money has been wasted on PR people and lawyers in those two years? How much income to the city lost because the Ricoh hasn't been having football and the massive concerts it used to??
People complained that Sisu were distressing ACL to get it on the cheap. Seems like Wasps got it cheaper.

This whole episode merely reinforces that the Council were never going to sell to SISU.

I don't think anybody is a "goodie" in all of this are they, all baddies.
We all know this Nick. But it seems as though some are trying to take the blame away from SISU and put it all onto CCC. And this is after SISU never putting any sort of offer in or negotiating.
Was this the deal where they wanted to pay Higgs over 10 years without providing proof of funds or was it when Joy said she would give Higgs 2m for something that is worthless as they are a charity? And please let us know how much Higgs are going to get if the Wasps deal is to go through.

So if the "reported" figures are correct, the £2m straight up wasn't far off for Higgs share was it?
I think we have the hysterical girls out in force today !
Its very funny how they have not accepted any facts of the JR !
That's because the judge got it wrong, world renowned expert in law Tim Fisher said so.
We are all agreed that the club/ground situation is a total mess. The question is, who is to blame?
To answer that, just ask yourself who has acted reasonably and who hasn't. Any fair-minded person who takes their Sky Blues -tinted specs off can see that for the most part ACL/CCC have acted pretty reasonably, whilst SISU have acted like a complete bunch of bastards.
So you now disagree with the trust open letter do you. Sky blue John as well? My my.
The trusts open letter said that Tim Fisher is a world renowned expert in law. I doubt that.
Who is saying SISU have done nothing and it is all CCC?
Local Councillors and council officers struggled to maintain cordial relations with a hedge fund, although not surprising as they are from different worlds with vastly different objectives. It seems it got personal from both sides. the council and to a lesser extent Higgs were being sidetracked with the RICOH and IMO were happy to get rid so they could concentrate on the main purposes. SISU had burned bridges by their actions a deal was never likely, looks like WASPS were easier to deal with, form your own conclusions on that. Whilst I fear for my club and no doubt there was games played on both sides - SISU's strategy has backfired.
So if the "reported" figures are correct, the £2m straight up wasn't far off for Higgs share was it?
Do you agree with he councils action? Sky blue John does.
So how many are having a go at CCC whilst trying their best not to mention or reply to anyone who mentions that Joy has stated that they are not interested in a lease of any sort for the Ricoh and are still saying that they are happy with their short term deal and will be building their own stadium?
