Don't think we'll get a definitive result for many years.
Don't think we'll get a definitive result for many years.That's the thing isn't it. Justice being done.
The best result would be the truth and justice wouldn't?
Without knowing the possible penalties / sisus plans based on either result we don't know which is best for the club?
That's me too. Would like the best result for Coventry City. I do also want justice to be done though. If someone has done wrong they should be brought to book on it.
I want Sisu gone, but the council also didn't do us any favours at all did they!
Just want to see it put to bed and a line drawn under the whole sorry saga.
Yeah, I agree.
Personally I don't care who "wins" as long as CCFC come out ok. And, at the end of the day, whoever "loses" will be the side who have done something they shouldn't have. As Nick said it's about justice.
It isn't about justice, it is about whose interpretation of the law is eventually accepted. Sometimes the law is a complete ass.
So if the judges rule the council did something wrong, the law is an ass. If they say they didn't, I guess the law and justice prevails?

Or we could just let the internet make the call on it, of course.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Whoever gets the nod from the judges tomorrow I seriously doubt that's the end to it.

Cases such as this are often not clear cut (understatement in this saga)
I certainly won't be celebrating either outcome, it's weird. Imagine if somebody said they are going to be raising a glass if SISU win? They would probably get labelled a one-eyed delusionist.

They won't win on a 'technicality' you dope - it's a fairly black and white judgment.
Or they might be called "someone with a strong interest in seeing arrogant cut-throats getting their comeuppance."

Fucking hell, the stuff I read on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Your former username wouldn't be spider ricoh would it?Yep. I'd take a definitive council win ahead of promotion next season. Genuinely. Really want to see those hard-nosed bastards get their just desserts.

If 'we' had just paid for the Ricoh out of our own money we wouldn't have need a Higgs/council bail-out.
If we hadn't sold HFR we...
Too many ifs and buts.
Time to put it behind us and move on. The current owners should try to find a positive solution rather then desperately clutching at this straw!
The time, energy and money that has been spent on appeals could have been put into a real solution yet someone thought better of it!
CCC have not done enough to revive the city of Coventry during the current tenure. Having a vibrant football club as part of this should have been a big thing for them. LOOK AT OUR M69 COUSINS . They're not blameless in this shambles, but the club need to take control of our destiny now!

There's no law for morals though, as we have seen with the councils code of conduct that is meant to do that, it doesn't matter a bit anyway.This judgement doesn't really seem to deal with Justice to me.
It won't deal with what's morally right or wrong.
Whether the council did play dirty tricks or not.
Whether SISU were trying to drive down the price in order to get ACL at a bargain. Forcing the council to take this decision.
It won't look at were a Charity getting screwed over.
We don't get to look at SISU's emails and correspondence like with have with the council.
It seems we will never know the truth
All it seems to deal with is are a council allowed to use money in thia way or not. I assume they got legal advice when they did it. So they thought they were allowed to. They haven't been warned you can't do this ignored the advice and just cracked on with it.
So if the council are proved right it's not a massive deal for me as they would have just done what they were advised.
If SISU are proved right again it's not a massive deal. It will just show the council got bad legal advice.
I just hope that if SISU are right any compensation to be paid by central government. I don't want the people of Coventry be affected by this like the fans so far have been.

If there was a prison sentence, every one of them would be ordering soap on a rope.
Whether you think it's right that more money grants you a better chance of having your case heard/defended/appealed is a different matter. In this case though, the council have much bigger resources than SISU.

Really? Do you think so Duffer?
I would've thought it would've been the other way round due to councils funding essentially coming from central Govt/public money. Surely SISU could pump millions and millions into legal paths...I wouldn't have though a public body would be able to do that, especially given the current climate.

Think you are barking up the wrong tree, the council is controlled by politicians, they may eventually take a different view, after all politics often involves distasteful compromise.
The hedge fund doesn't give 2 hoots about public perception, but there is the matter of Sepalla's business reputation, to avoid tarnishing the hard-nut image she will grind on and on...
Well that is the way I see it.. doesn't really tell you the eventual result..
What I have never understood is if SISU win and demonstrate that the money lent by the local authority was not lawful, what is the recourse for SISU?
Surely, the local authority face UK or European sanctions or penalties, why would they be then asked to pay compensation to SISU.
SISU acquired the club knowing they rented the ground and at what point with that contract, did they give a fuck about how it was funded.
they cannot void the sale to Wasps now can they? If that were the case then the liability to the local authority would be huge.
anyone provide a simple what it's worth to SISU to win this case financially or not and how they were disadvantaged by what the council did wrong to THEM?
