Nick will be going apoplectic with all these comments getting close to defamation! I think I would like acl to reject cva too and call fishers bluff but that doesn't resolve our problems or theirs. It would likely mean at best continued administration, poor playing side and potentially points loss and Sisu in ownership. At worst it could mean liquidation of the club. This though could mean no Sisu and new owners but a significant drop in the football pyramid. Absolute nightmare!! My opinion is that Sisu should be held to account and that the club is already lost to us
Nick, I think you need to put somewhere CLEARLY on the web site, in the footer or header perhaps, something to the effect of Sky Blues Talk isn't responsible for the posts, its the view of members, etc. Dunno what the legal wording would be to ensue we get sued but you dont!

Club statement on Parliamentary Early Day Motion and subsequent amendments
On Tuesday, Jim Cunningham MP tabled an Early Day Motion in Parliament calling for an urgent meeting to be convened between the club, ACL, Coventry City Council and the Football League.
We appreciate the genuine concern about the current situation felt by Mr Cunningham and his fellow Coventry MP, Geoffrey Robinson, who sponsored the motion, and indeed that felt by many of their constituents.
The Rt. Hon. Bob Ainsworth MP subsequently submitted an amendment to this motion saying inter alia that the club's owner has no viable plan or intention to return to the Coventry area and had put itself into administration as part of a deliberate strategy developed over time to defraud its creditors.
These statements have no foundation whatsoever in fact and are grossly defamatory.
If Mr Ainsworth genuinely believes his statements to be true, we respectfully invite him to repeat them outside Parliament and not to hide behind parliamentary privilege.
If he is not prepared to do this, we can only conclude that he does not in fact believe them to be true, in which case he should immediately withdraw them.

So go on then SISU, sue them for defamation I thought you liked court cases - you might find parliamentary privilege gets in the way of you being successful though.
What about the truth? They would have to prove their plans. Not just saying they will.
I doubt SISU will pay the expense to come half way around the world just to sue me. Unless they could get a share of the F&B streams from the airline..
I'll happily state anything you need saying ;-)
well said sisu. i think ainsworth was acting in a disgusting manner . . . just an attempt to keep the fans turning against their own club. parliamentary privilege does not mean an m.p can lie. i am making an official complaint to the parliamentary ombudsman and will complain of ainsworth lying. i also believe as he did lie privilege is automatically refused. naming footballers taking out super injunctions like john hemming mp did is fine .. but you can use privilege to defame, slander and libel. you can only reveal truth and be protected

I applaud your inside knowledge of the situation, can you share with us any of your proof that this MP has lied? His nickname may well be Bollocks Bob but that doesn't automatically mean and neither should anyone infer that he is telling a lie based on that.well said sisu. i think ainsworth was acting in a disgusting manner . . . just an attempt to keep the fans turning against their own club. parliamentary privilege does not mean an m.p can lie. i am making an official complaint to the parliamentary ombudsman and will complain of ainsworth lying. i also believe as he did lie privilege is automatically refused. naming footballers taking out super injunctions like john hemming mp did is fine .. but you can use privilege to defame, slander and libel. you can only reveal truth and be protected

The Accounts are not a mess they are very clear, on 22 March 2012 Arvo inserted a Charge on CCFCL, on 2 April they ceased paying rent, on 19 June 2012 Mr Fisher signed off the Limited and Holdings Accounts as being accurate, on 20 June 2012 Julien Rye of BDO the Auditors signed off the Accounts as being accurate, on 22 June 2012 the accounts were filed at companies house and the Football League embargo was lifted. On 21 March 2013 Holdings stated that CCFC Limited had not assets was only a dormant property company and had no employees on or off the pitch, wake up Appleton, Football League and Police, this is suspicious and corrupt beyond belief, go for it Mr Ainsworth you are getting to the heart of the problem, Mr Fisher, Bradley, Labovitch, Clarke and Seppala have been fiddling the books
