Where did I say I wanted them to stay?

Where did I say i wanted them in the first place?

But perish the thought I suggest blind hero worship of a stadium company (a STADIUM COMPANY ffs) isn't the way forward either.

I want two things...

1) the football club and stadium under the control of the club

2) sisu to have nothing to do with any of it!!!

And what's best for it might be getting an agreement that allows the club, whoever owns it, to stay in Coventry, no?

It wouldn't be an issue if both sides agreed to legally binding arbitration.

It wouldn't be an issue if sisu paid legally binding rent while negotiating a more reasonable one then would it?

So you'd support arbitration if it found a solution then?

Because arbitration could look at the original rent agreement, and whether it was legal and, if so, whether the club had to pay what was due.

That'd be a good thing wouldn't it? ACL would get their rent, as they're confident any arbitrator would agree with the offer they've made they'd be bound to that, the club get a ground and everyone's happy?

That's a perfect solution isn't it? An independent legally binding deal that ensures the club have to pay their debts in full?

An arbitrator could always, after all, say the current rent deal was perfectly fine and, having signed up to the process, the club would have to accept that.

So where's the problem? The only problem could have been cost, but then sticking the club in administration, not getting the full debt owed back, maybe not getting any deal whatsoever. Well, that hasn't worked out has it?

The problem is trust regarding sisu. What's stopping them defaulting again after something was agreed???

They already been told by a court to top up this escrow account. This never happened did it???

Then there's their chance to give some actual evidence, as opposed to spin through the press.

I thought everyone wanted a solution? Yet reading through this thread it seems I'm the only one who would support an attempt to find a solution to still playing in Coventry

Yes you're right, everyone else has booked their season tickets to New St. The solution is for the club's owners to show humility and accept the last offer made as a goodwill gesture so trust can start to be rebuilt.

You talk about legally binding arbitration-was the statutory order made by ACL not just as so?

Well let's hope any owner other than SISU just wants to rent the place off ACL then.

If it was illegal then the club wouldn't have signed it in 2005. They also wouldn't have demanded a non fluctuating rent.

So you'd support them if they accepted that offer, and then immediately tried to re-negotiate it?

Tim Fisher suggested Mediation on the radio live on CWR and was then asked by Mr Linnell if he would be willing to abide by the results of any third party mediation Tim ducked giving an answer. Now why would that be?
:thinking about:

Now I know that Mediation isn't the same as arbitration but people here don't think mediation will work, and if he won`t agree to be bound by the results any third party decides on, what hope is there?

Wasn't only me who heard it either

ashbyjan said:
Last night Tim Fisher did state he had asked ACL for mediation but only during a radio broadcast and on the clubs website, no direct request made to ACL with terms of reference or anything like that. I believe when Linnell pressed him on the radio on Saturday about abiding by any third party decision he avoided giving an answer - maybe someone could confirm that.

You could ask many questions about the deal if you wanted to.

I'm sure it was all above board, I hasten to add. After all, nobody had a bad word to say about the previous boards of the club.

Mediation would be a waste of time where we are now, as neither side would have to be bound by it. It might have worked at some stage, but the trust levels are too far gone in my opinion for it to be worth doing.

That applies on both sides as well. i think it's fair to say the club trust ACL as little as ACL trust the club.

Nah you're right we should just put PWKH in a stock and pelt him with rotten tomatoes until he admits that the rent is illegal. Then we can give Fishy the keys to the city.

Sign up to legally binding arbitration.

Move the process on beyond 'they said this wa wa waaaa'.

Have both sides agree to do negotiating through the arbitrator rather than through the press.

Sit down and talk.

That requires both sides to commit and make the step that shows they want to find a solution.

You were quite happy with all the actions of the previous board then? Nothing at all odd about any of their decisions? Nothing you'd want challenging if the opportunity arose?

I don't see why bringing PWKH into that is at all relevant unless you know something I don't?

You seem to be selectively choosing segments from my posts and missing this bit:
And when Tim was asked if he'd accept a binding agreement from a third party live on the radio he evaded the question and didn't answer.

So if he can't say yes or no to that simple question how can he possibly sign up to arbitration?

To suggest that the rent deal was devised with illegal intent is a serious allegation NW. Although how rent can be 'illegal' in the first place I'm not so sure.

I don't know anything about PWKH's involvement with the previous board of Coventry City.

As far as I'm aware he has behaved perfectly properly in his dealings as representative of the Higgs Charity, balloon-gate aside, so I don't really see why he's been brought into it.

That's not really relevant as to whether you'd want to ask questions about whether the previous board did everything for the good of the club, and whther you'd trust them to sign a lease that would stand up to scrutiny by an independent body. I seem to remember a fair few questioning them after all, don't you?
