kcic is getting more questions about the Judicial Review (JR) so here goes
Analysis by the Sky blue Trust at www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/sport-opinion/fans-zone-judicial-review-well-7059156 says the JR may well be a tipping point and:
kcic has always assumed sisu will win – they must be very confident in order to pursue it. If the JR doesn’t prove to be a game changer, kcic’s question will be ‘what on earth was all that in aid of then?!’
The JR and the www.FixFootball.co.uk ePetition for an Independent Inquiry
For events in Coventry, Gail – one of CCFC’s true unsung heroes and who did a huge amount of work to get the petition off the ground – is looking for people who could help specifically in Coventry. If you could help out at all in Coventry please email Gail at kcicvolunteers@googlemail.com
For London area City fans, would anyone be up for an ePetition leafleting session at the Football League London office, Friday 6 June, 5pm onwards and no doubt followed by a pint! It would help raise the ePetition profile and numbers, remind the FL we’re not giving up and maybe get a bit of pre World Cup media attention. RSVP to keepcovincov@gmail.com
PUSB!
kcic is getting more questions about the Judicial Review (JR) so here goes
- The JR was sought by sisu and will decide if the £14.4 million Coventry City Council loan to ACL was illegal state aid
- It will be at the High Court in Birmingham
- It is scheduled for three days, starting on 10 June 2014
- It will be heard by The Hon. Mr Justice Hickinbottom (and given all the spin, good luck to him!)
- Everyone seems to have an opinion but the only one that matters will be Justice Hickinbottom’s
- There are a couple of good articles at www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/sky-blues-owners-city-council-7122731 and www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/ten-things-learnt-wednesdays-sisu-7125391
Analysis by the Sky blue Trust at www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/sport-opinion/fans-zone-judicial-review-well-7059156 says the JR may well be a tipping point and:
- if the judicial review goes in Sisu’s favour, could subsequent lawsuits for damages see the council reach a tipping point and cut their losses and hand over the Ricoh keys to Sisu?
- if the judicial review goes against sisu might they decide there is no way they will ever get the Ricoh Arena, say enough is enough, stop pouring money into this failed venture, cut their losses and walk away, possibly putting the club into administration?
kcic has always assumed sisu will win – they must be very confident in order to pursue it. If the JR doesn’t prove to be a game changer, kcic’s question will be ‘what on earth was all that in aid of then?!’
The JR and the www.FixFootball.co.uk ePetition for an Independent Inquiry
- The JR might produce some new evidence but it’s only dealing with one part of the CCFC fiasco
- The best chance of getting a full Independent Inquiry is through the ePetition
- There’s been too much going on recently and we need to give the petition a push
- It’s something everyone can help with – it doesn’t matter where you live or if you can only spare a few minutes
