ACL didn't even exist then.
He said set whilst in ol not playing there. Probably true as was for arena 2001 in the same comment.

I have had personal experience of how professional and caring Paul Fletcher was when in charge. He was really helpful to me.
The things he just said about Coventry City council I believe.
I have always been anti SISU, but after that from Paul Fletcher I am very concerned about the tactics and motives of Coventry Council
Was it Arena 2000?
He said acl was spurn from arena 2001 and was set up by the club. I don't know if that's accurate or not, perhaps someone can confirm.
Were you in on negotiations, then?
We were alrady paying 900k per season at highfield road
So no-one was waiting in the wings to take us over then according to PWKH.
No, let's stick with SISU...happy, buddy?
The main crux of it for me, ignoring some of the waffle, is we need to own the ground and would the council and Higgs piss off if they got their money back?
If they won't, and everything the council have said suggests they won't without a huge return, then they should be ashamed and who the hell are these people.
It's all about the money and not the club.
Correct it was over £1m a year
There's many many people who have been involved with CCFC over recent years that I have a massive distrust of (Richardson, Robinson, McGinnity, Fletcher, Ranson, Deliu, Fisher, I'm sure there's more) but it does strike me that all of these people aren't linked to each other, although some are, yet they all say pretty much the same thing. The the council / higgs / acl are impossible to deal with. No smoke without fire and all that and you do begin to wonder if they have a point.
What need is there for the likes of Fletcher and Robinson, who have both been on CWR this week having a pop at the council, if it isn't true? they're no longer involved and have moved on to other things, surely little to gain?
Would love to see someone put in a firm offer for the Ricoh on the 'we'll give you what you've put in' basis and see what the response is!
Linnell said in answer to a texter that the rent was agreed while we were in the premiership ? Is he on drugs ?This bloke is a joke.....
He said the rent was fine in the premier league, we have never played at the ricoh in the prem......
Was this bloke really in charge here?

When Fletcher went people berated him. He was seen as a slick operator.
Didn't seem to bother him while he worked for ACL.

I take your point, Otis. However, CCC do not own the club and do not owe the club anything. Their duty is to the people of Coventry. Therefore we cannot expect CCC to act solely in the interests of the club but we ought to be able to expect it of the club's owners. That's why I don't understand how people can say they are both as bad as each other.ACL is not the council. Higgs is not the council.
It is the council who would apparently veto any deal. You can't tar them all with the same brush.
As you say, people have been having a pop at the council.
That is quite different. PWKH though did allude to the fact that Sisu seem impossible to work with (shaking hands on a deal and then denying any deal was made etc.)
I don't trust Sisu, but by the same token, I have never trusted any Coventry City Council either.
