The council fearing ACL indolvency -- appalling journalism. Sisu bias!!!
The comments show a distinct anti-SISU/anti-Robinson bias.
Once again the local media sides with sisu.What chance have we got of getting these clowns out.
Perhaps once the administrator gets into things certain non-disclosure clauses from the original sale of the club might be made public ?
Nice one, OSB. However, isn't there a gagging order on details of the dreaded "Richardson Years"? No one is allowed to mention what happened and what actually BR was up to.
Geoffrey Robinson (Labour, Coventry North West), a former Sky Blues chairman who wrote off £20millon of personal money when current Sky Blues owners Sisu took over in 2007, said: “ACL, the council and the charity are wasting money on an unnecessary load of legal battles.
“They should be transparent about the costs and why they have done this. Where’s it going to end?
“The way to solve it is to get the charity out and make a new start with Sisu.”

Geoffrey Robinson media statement about SISU 29th June 2011
“They have made a total mess of it – a disgraceful mess – and they should find a good home for the club as soon as possible, write off their losses – which they are entirely responsible for themselves – and let’s get the club back on the up.
“With this ownership and these people, the club has no future.
"I have grave concerns about the club because the owners have turned out to be an absolute waste of time and space.
“The club and the city deserve better than they have produced.
Surely GR has answered his own question as to one of the reasons why ACL have taken these actions ? Now he wants the Charity out and a new start with SISU? They say memory is the first thing to go dont they ?

Mire likely snorted £20m from hookers tits.
May I point out that the bag of cocaine was found in the back of the police van and NOT on Mr Robinsons person and there was no evidence whatsoever to suggest it ever had been.
Just thoughts but .....
Where did the notion that a) ACL couldnt afford to do this and b) was using tax payers money to do it come from?
You might think that considering all councillors are unanimous in this that the city's MP's might talk with them and find out rather than use the CT. Surely they are all representing the citizens of Coventry ? Or are there other reasons why they dont talk? (Sick of all the self interest and ego in all this)
ACL are quite entitled to say nothing, just because it doesn't suit the CT or pricks Mr Reids importance is immaterial....... when you look at it reports of ACL in the paper are hardly supportive & often inaccurate so why would they feel like divulging anything to the CT, unless it suits them. It isnt as if SISU have not dodged questions is it?
Would have more sympathy for the CT if I thought the hard questions were being asked by them ...... but they aren't are they
Just how much have CCFC spent on lawyers, barristers, accountants, insolvency experts and administrators ? Who carries that cost?
I get the feeling that this was done to put financial and public pressure on ACL ......... Who gains from that ? What does that say about the media in this City of ours?
I dont want more spin in the papers....... i just want the situation sorted, the back of SISU, and above all our Club safe !
just thoughts and my opinions
