Its borderline delusion
Its borderline delusionLol council proven to be shady
Shmeee:i have been proven right
LOL
Didn't they take it from the escrow and then also try to claim it from Robinson as he was somehow still the guarantor which would have seen them get the rent twice.Also, did acl get paid the 800k or not from escrow?
So ACL were actually paid 800k or so instead of 1.2m?Didn't they take it from the escrow and then also try to claim it from Robinson as he was somehow still the guarantor which would have seen them get the rent twice.
Fuck me I'm going to have to google it ain't iProper peak soy boys....
Did you manage to keep a straight face when you wrote this?I post balance because no one else actually puts a modicum of thought into things.
I wish I wasn’t the only person not frothing at the mouth at the mention of them, but here I am. Someone with a working brain and a vague knowledge of council responsibilities.
Come into a thread about the city centre if you want to see me slating the Council. I just don’t think local authorities are there to put football clubs, especially overly litigious football clubs who have a track record of fucking people over, ahead of social care and the actual legal responsibilities they have.
I’ve got to say, so far when we’ve got past the initial ranty stage, I’ve generally been right at every turn. I remember Nick, Grendel, you and FP telling me years ago how the Council were going to be “found out” and how there was “smoking guns” when we got to court. So far, so much bullshit.
It’s OK though, you can keep being right about football

IIRC the Escrow had to be in place so the funding was already in there. ACL simply pulled the rent from there. Not sure on the amount though - think it was just the 800K, but they did try that stunt.
I had a conversation just after he left the telegraph about what had gone on. He got shit on for not playing ball with council while at CET. Gilbert was installed into his seat before he had got out of the door.Les Reid is fired up
So it wasn't really a strike then as ACL did get the money? (Just not the full £1.2m)
Was even worse than I remembered. They got the rent and then went after Robinson and McGinnity for loss of earnings.So ACL were actually paid 800k or so instead of 1.2m?
I remember from around the time people saying it was agreed to do that.IMO it was an agreed plan.
Les Reid's stance was as far as I can see was that the best thing for the club was for sisu to gain ownership of the stadium. Immediately he became labelled pro sisu when I see it and always have as pro ccfc. We'd rather not have them in charge but the fact is, whoever is in charge, the best thing for the club would be that the club owns the stadiumI had a conversation just after he left the telegraph about what had gone on.

Not strange just underhandThe Telegraph have done an article now with certain parts completely missed out....
Sisu hits back at Coventry City Council in strong response
Its a bit strange.

Sadly people will see what the want to. That rag just fuels it.Well, I just mean it's far too obvious. Surely they can see how obvious it is and wouldn't expect people to believe the "checking with lawyers" line.
Has it got to the point where people don't care about that any more?

Which time?Why did ACL commission Weber Shandwick?
Just waiting for them/the media to ask the "trust" for the "fans view" on it all..... :-(The Telegraph have done an article now with certain parts completely missed out....

Well, well, well!
It all used to be so straightforward, evil SISU, desperate to grab the Ricoh on the cheap and going on a rent strike to distress ACL so that they’d have to sell. I thought they took the club hostage when they went to Northampton so me and the lads never went.
Doesn’t look half so clear cut now!
If I’d known then what I know now I would have gone to Sixfields.
Council, Wasps, Knatchbull-Hughes all duplicitous bastards it seems. How they must have smirked with their Wasps mates at every ‘SISU Out’ chant or post.
Can somebody clarify the rent strike and when it was said to have started? I've seen people saying the rent strike meant ACL had to talk about wasps for the money but I'm sure that email was before.
Also, did acl get paid the 800k or not from escrow?
As long as they got it though, how were they distressed?My understanding from previous Council quotes were that they were trying to claim the club hadn’t paid it because it came from the escrow account....conveniently ignoring it would have been the club that topped up the escrow account.
