MPs Robinson & Cunningham (3 Viewers)

Anybody else really disappointed with these two?

While Ainsworth has managed to bring the issue up in Parliament and Nikki Sinclaire MEP is meeting the Football League, these two appear to be doing nothing to help us.

Robinson especially is very quiet, given his involvement with the club over the past decade.

Can't imagine what about his involvement would have him want to keep quiet!

To busy counting his and his colleagues £10,000 per year pay rise that they voted for whilst the rest of us struggle.
Absolute disgrace but they live in a different world to the rest of us and don't really give a shit.

More like he doesn't want stuff unearthed if people start digging.

Didn't he personally bank role the club to the tune of £25M and then right it off when SISU took over?
I would of thought he more than anybody would be pee'd off with the situation.
Why can't SISU do the same and also Pee off?

He doesn't need the £10,000 he's still a multi millionaire.

I think you'll find that Robinson was anything but the knight in shining armour some have made him out to be.

Why else would he be keeping schtum? :thinking about:

We met with Robinson to discuss our plight and was very disappointed with his attitude, he just came over as not bothered, Cunningham has never even acknowledged the letter.
Fair pay to Ainsworth, you know which one of the three does care about the club and his community.

The difference is you don't have to think he is any good, have voted for him or support him but Bob Ainsworth is and always has been a decent constituency MP and has always realised what his job being an MP is all about. Sorry to say this but IMO Jim Cunningham sees being an MP as a good job. There has been more comments regarding our situation from outside MPs than from Cunningham. Three times this has been raised in the House including a 30 minute debate with a Minister present, to my knowledge Jim Cunningham has yet to speak on it.

Not a Coventrian is he, yet earned a good living here.

As for Geoffrey Robinson, his silence to me speaks volumes.

It's all wooded dollars to him his accountant buries these losses elsewhere just like SISU does and it will only effect him personally if he was ever asked to pay it back. He keeps quiet so that the old boys network is not distabalised

I would like to see ACL enact upon his guarantee to pay £250k if they rent falls into arrears! Now why do think that ACL have not done that is more the question???? It all smells fishy in the state of Denmark if you ask me

Very, and the Coventry Telegraph should be getting quotes from them.

As I have said before, if this administration or SISU's request for a judicial review result in court cases, then it is my sincere hope that those confidentiality agreements will finally be overturned and we fans might just find out what really did go on all these years that caused the confidentiality agreements to be created in the first place.
This has been my problem with the HP4 bid; do I really want to see previous directors who were involved when all these confidentiality agreements were being created and our finances were going to pot and we had to go begging to the CCC and Higgs Trust to finish building our new stadium after they sold HR getting involved with our club again?

Agreed. It's not always about politics, my local MP for years was a Tory but while I may have disagreed with his party's policies, no doubt he did more for his constituents in a week than most do their entire term in parliament.
