Nicest thing you have ever said.
Lucas and Mutton certainly did.Do Lucas / Mutton etc all go to games?
Lucas and Mutton certainly did.
As mentioned, the club did their best to drive Lucas away really.
Lots of us go a lot less than we used to, for many reasons.I meant do they now...
You’ve got the nail on the head there, albeit I suspect unintentionally. Individuals who let their personal dealings with SISU override everything else.I square it as a bunch of people who, in their personal dealings with Sisu and with the legal advice they’re given, didn’t think handing over millions of pounds of tax payer assets to an organisation without a track record of doing public good was a good idea either for Coventry City or the city of Coventry.

We're still fans.
That being said, I do wonder how much damage was done to Lucas's position. Guess we'll never know.
Are votes 'whipped' in local politics?The other thing I'd like to know the answer to, but never will, is why the vote to sell to Wasps was unanimous. That's very unusual, and certainly wasn't the case when it came to building the Ricoh!
There's nothing in what's been released that would suggest it'd end up a unanimous decision, but there must certainly have been *something* to tip everyone into voting that way.
Everyone. Not one dissenter.
Going in to the meeting the local media was reporting it would be a close vote. There was then a meeting, I believe Wasps were present, that the public were not allowed to attend at which no minutes or other record was made. Following that the vote switched to unanimous. Not suspicious in the slightest!The other thing I'd like to know the answer to, but never will, is why the vote to sell to Wasps was unanimous. That's very unusual, and certainly wasn't the case when it came to building the Ricoh
Sorry, can I clarify that you mean this was told to Seppala's face?
Not everyone thinks that giving the Ricoh to Sisu (not CCFC) is the best thing for the club or the city.
That doesn’t make them not a city fan, it makes them a city fan with a different opinion to you. Get over it.

No Schmmee you’re wrong.
Take you blinkers off. What is wrong with giving back the Ricoh to the very club it was built for?
By not SELLING back the Ricoh to City and by selling it to a Rugby Club the council’s decision have led us to this point.
You’re delusional if you think that any supporter of a football club would sell their own stadium to a Rugby club from London-whatever the mitigating factors.
There’s no argument in the world that would persuade me to do it and that isn’t opinion it’s a fact.
Let’s flip this for a minute. Say the council did sell the Ricoh back to the club-what do you think would have happened? Would the world cease to exist if CCFC actually played in the stadium that was actually built for them!
The council have done wrong over CCFC-as have lots of others.
But when you finally take your blinkers off and see that the so called City fans would make a decision that harms our football club over some petty bollocks it’ll be too fuckin late.

There is one independent, but I think he was chucked out of the Tory party.Are votes 'whipped' in local politics?
The fear was SISU would use it as security to borrow money to pay themselves back. In fact there was council meeting notes on their website saying this must never be allowed to happen.No Schmmee you’re wrong.

Not sure the ethics committee means anything when their usual trick is "we have seen they have broken rules, therefore the rules will be changed".
