Jim Cunningham kicks off
Jim Cunningham is on his feet speaking.
He says “Coventry City FC faces an uncertain future. It has been an ongoing saga spanning many years.”
“I recognise there’s differing views about what has happened to CCFC. You will remember the damaging rent dispute that saw the football club playing their home games in Northampton.
“Since that time the Ricoh Arena has been sold to Wasps. Sisu took and continue to take legal action. Such action has not helped the situation or the relationship between the club and the fans to the point that dialogue now seems impossible.”

Mr Cunningham “The football club should not be a way to make a quick buck for faceless unaccountable owners”
“The Football League and the FA must explain how the owners can pass the fit and proper persons test and proceed to run the club into the ground.”

Colleen Fletcher on her feet
Colleen Fletcher, MP for Coventry North East, is criticising a lack of progress on repeatedly talked about plans for a new stadium.
“NObody has ever believed Sisu’s plans have ever been anything other than a smokescreen. the only viable option to secure Coventry City’s future in the city is to sign an extension to the agreement at the Ricoh Arena.
“If they are incapable of achieving this then they should sell up and go as the Coventry telegraph has called on them to do so.”
She accuses the Football League of acting in the interest of its members rather than supporters. She questions if they have asked Sisu to demonstrate a ling term stadium solution.
She urges the minister to as for sight of evidence of a long term stadium plan “I say it simply doesn’t exist.” She says “It is indicative of its inability or worse unwillingness to properly regulate the game of football.”

Can you build a stadium in less than three years? Do you know anyone who can finance it? You know of any land going?

Until we see more than someone's A Level Art homework, it really is our only option. That's the point: no one believes the new stadium is real so let's just stop pretending.

I'm sure if tomorrow Sisu turned up with a land purchase, financing and a plan for a stadium submitted for planning everyone would be behind it. But it ain't gonna happen is it?

Damien Collins, fit & proper persons test too narrow. Only checks for with unspent convictions. FL has no latitude to block persons unsuitable to run a football club.

Good luck with that!

Is she stupid or what? Wasps are not offering an extension at the Arena at this time. Honestly, you make the tea for Bob Ainsworth for 30 years and suddenly you're an MP!

...and of course will be ultra keen on Wasps being seen as a great success and to have not damaged the football club.

The telegraph.

The debate is over, but there’s plenty of analysis and reaction to come.

I can't see that they discussed much about us staying and why discussions between CCFC and Wasps stopped though?

This is about the most interesting thing said

"Jim Cunningham asks the minister to bring all parties together.She says there is a lot of things that happen in football that should have nothing to do with government. She says people have been in touch asking them to intervene over CCFC. “It’s not a matter for the government to intervene.” However she says she is willing to consider mediating if necessary, but suggest MP Damian Collins might be better placed as a football reform campaigner."

Mediation is what's needed more than anything at the moment.

It's the one from the Cov Telegraph site and its MPs who were agreeing with the bill, not those who attended. And its Mr G. Robinson whose name wasn't listed. Wonder why he never signed ?
