Using that logic any city fans who go to Wasps support us not owning our own stadium then

I think the following tells us all we need to know about the Coventry Telegraph Chief Reporter:

Telegraph chief reporter Simon Gilbert said: “Absolutely devastated to hear Coun Phil Townshend passed away last night. A great man, and someone I considered a friend. A tragic loss for the city.” - http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/he-truly-fantastic-caring-gentleman-10271451

I have made my stance by not going to watch Wasps... Is that enough for you? As for not owning our own Stadium, (The merry-go-round continues) SISU have had plenty of occasions in which to buy into the Ricoh, none more glaring than that on takeover

Well if we want to continue arguing, raking up the past, and going round in circles, as for not owning our stadium lets just add Bryan Ricahrdson, I seem to recall he sold one we had owned for more than a few years.

I have always said if people wanted to go to Northampton, then they should go. It doesn't however make me feel that it is right to go.

Theres being respectful and missing a story that perhaps may require a little more investigation, two different things.

Except that wasn't the situation. It would be like inheriting a house worth £200K and then getting a loan for £500K. On top of that when the bank who are thinking of loaning you the money look at your finances you're already struggling to meet your current commitments.

Hey I thought analogies like that are not allowed....
Like someone renting a business premises signing up for the rental contract.
Screwing up the running of the business. Then realising you can't afford your rent anymore.
Tell your landlord you can't afford the rent. However you can afford to buy the property.
Go and a rent strike.
Then spit your dummy out when they sell the property to someone else for the bargain price you managed to drive the value down to with the poor running of your business and your rental strike.

I reckon it might be as high as the number of free tickets given away by Wasps to make their stadium look at least respectably busy on matchdays.

No you can't. Councils are supposed to value their football club as an asset in itself. Not a cost and an opportunity to make money.

Sisu are saints compared to that vermin.

The councillor has died and SG has paid his respects. Unless you're a complete arse and want to show yourself up as one deliberately there is nothing else.

I think also the point of how much money was invested in ACL comes into it. If the council had 50 million of tax payers money tied up in ACL then it would be different, as they had put £0 into ACL.

And yes if they knew Wasps were buying when they took that step it gives them a bit more security. Surely that would mean they were selling to Wasps while we were still tenants, before Northampton etc. Would be a major contradiction to a lot of things said and justifications given. Especially as it is around the same time of the £2million charity offer for Higgs share, which was classed as disgusting. It would certainly explain why it was never going to happen with SISU or CCFC if it had already been agreed with Wasps. (and maybe why SISU suddenly got interested in the stadium after a couple of years of being here).

That situation would make CCC and Wasps look quite bad.
Click to expand...

I don't know about all that but I think ironically in these judges eyes if CCC made the loan knowing there was no risk and it protected them from SISU and smoothed the way for their sale to Wasps. I guess they would think that is the sort of thing a private company would do and probably find in their favour.
Also SISU have stated that the deal wasps did they would have never done, so commercially it sounds like it was better for the Council to sell to Wasps again something a private company would do.
It is weird that that the responsibilities of a council that make them different to a private company in a dispute like this don't realky hold value. Yet clearly they should because they do massively impact on the council's decision making. Whereas a private company would just say how do we make the quickest buck

It's hardly a comment regrading his journalist skills though is it? Or his genuine interest in this particular subject.

They have never said they would not do the deal. Fisher made a glib comment after the event and that is not the same thing.

Or unless you are a complete arse and dont know some of the other facts out there. So because someone has died it means there is never another story. Good job the Police arent as blinkered or all murders would be death by natural causes.

Except what you've described happens fairly regularly in business. Fitness First are a recent example that spring to mind. Business model was flawed and couldn't compete with the lo-cost 24 hour gyms. Told their landlord they couldn't afford to pay and needed to be released from the lease on some premises and reduced rent on the others. The landlord in this instance operated from a business standpoint rather than out of spite and they were able to restructure their business.
