Somebody dug up the Lucas interview last time, she was very clear when she was doing the PR interviews for the Wasps deal as well.
Were CCFC/SISU also very clear that they would still be moving to a new ground in 4 years? Was that in writing nick?
I guess that's what Duggins will use as a defence? However, as fp said, any conditions should have been outlined at the time.
The club have tweeted since posting this statement that SISU will be releasing a statement of their own and this is from the club not the owners.Given Boddy said last night the owners would make a statement i assume it is really from them not CCFC.
We move away this time we are as good as finished.Well if you wanted to harden attitudes even further that should do it. Given Boddy said last night the owners would make a statement i assume it is really from them not CCFC. I agree it is not a very professional statement, it is more of a personal attack, i am not sure it helps. Dont get me wrong they have to fight their corner with everything they have so i understand why and that it will play well to the fans & EFL.
I would be surprised if there was a binding clause in the CCC/Wasps sale agreement to basically allow CCFC to stay at their choice as long as they like but i suppose there is a chance. Given what everyone was aware of at the time it would have been careless in the extreme for a lawyer to allow that through.
Added to which there is reference i understand to it being on the basis of being able to strike a commercial deal to be able to stay longer. That i would think is getting more difficult as we go on through this saga. In which case in court i dont think there is much to rely on but i am not a barrister.
In essence Wasps will say there was no contractual basis to go on further, CCFC had wanted a short term deal (lots of press statements about that) and that deal has ended at the term date.
OEG/ARVO/SBS&L as instructed to so by SISU started JR2 after the assurances were given. I am sure some clever lawyer will work that in somewhere as a part of a defense
CCC have made so many mistakes over the years that it encourages legal actions. Do things in secret and this is what results.
Wasps I fear will see that and conclude we can not deal with these people.
The statement does not say to me they have a strong case.
The club statement basically sets the scene for continuing legal actions. As has been said this not about a day in court and "battering" the opposition. This is about battering people with court over and over again to get what they want. What they want (SISU) is not the stadium but the financial settlements that would come because of it. It is not nor ever has been about what is best for CCFC
I think moving away is now more certain and a solution less likely given the egos and entrenched positions
Disagree, I didn't go Northampton but would go somewhere else this time as the circumstances are different.We move away this time we are as good as finished.
I didn’t go Northampton but I would also go this time. Michael Byng has commented on the CCFC official page regarding the statement.
That's ok but I know 6 people who went to Northampton but won't go again if we move again.Disagree, I didn't go Northampton but would go somewhere else this time as the circumstances are different.
Basically said that SISU didn't want to use the Ricoh as per the terms of the sale dictated by CCC that were designed to prop up ACL. An informed source told him.What's he saying?

They’re meeting in Westminster next weekSo SISU are owners of the club and are orchestrators of the court case which is the major sticking point, why aren't people questioning why they are not being pressured to meet with WASPS/CCC or receiving any questions?
Surely you’re not suggesting no pressure has been put on SISU?So SISU are owners of the club and are orchestrators of the court case which is the major sticking point, why aren't people questioning why they are not being pressured to meet with WASPS/CCC or receiving any questions?
Cheers Samo.It simply means they have a vested interest.
The way it reads it's not clear. But he also states that he knows that SISU always intended to protect the Higgs Charity from the financial fall out from the stadiums problems...is he on about now or 6 years ago ?
Wow. That is one hell of a statement. It's aggressive, occassionally unprofessional, and cuts right to the heart of the matter. As a fan I love it, as someone who works in a corporate environment and is used to more measured responses I'm cringing.
All I can think is that there will be litigation all over the gaff if the club does go tits up.

Nobody has said sisu aren't shit. What were saying now is why the fuck are we unable to secure a deal to keep the club going beyond this season. If you'd rather score points at sisu then your 'best mate' is as much a dick as you.if Sisu are getting petty they must have forgot about all the bullshit comments they’ve released over the years. my best mate just put this on Facebook. really clutching at straws they are now
Difference is SISU ain’t a public body who have to be careful what they say. Besides nick eastwoods comments were Feb 18 not 2013 like many of the fisherismsif Sisu are getting petty they must have forgot about all the bullshit comments they’ve released over the years. my best mate just put this on Facebook. really clutching at straws they are now
Have to agree, last time we moved there was always the hope for a return to the Ricoh, which happened after just a year, or even Fishers fabled new ground being built. As I see it if we go to another ground all I see is sisu going on with more appeals should they lose this one which could involve European and/or civil courts more appeals from them or other partys. and any return to Coventry completely blocked for years, the club imo would die.We move away this time we are as good as finished.

you know how it works, when the council get called out... it’s always “its ok, sisu have said this”Who is clutching at straws by putting together a list of quotes that tell only one side of the story so are out of context?
Of course Fisher has bullshitted and needs calling out.
Does it mean the council should be OK to bullshit too?
Under what terms?lol if SIsu didn’t come out with all the daft comments back then we wouldn’t be here now. not about scoring points. Sisu cant bully as they’ve done in the past with small companies. Sisu renowed for bullying in Court but now there struggling using cov as bargaining tool. if they drop the cases we have a future.
