As well as other members, and as well as the local newspaper read the statement the same way.... isn't just me.
OK, you're going to have to point out where I said it was just you? Maybe you've deduced that whilst I've not actually said it, it's what I meant? Or just more spin to move away from the fact you've said the SBT statement welcomes the verdict, but it's actually the announcement it welcomes - which are two separate things.
Anyway.........my comments about moving forwards rather than looking back - thoughts?
Strange, no statement on the website or twitter or anything. No posting it around on forums?
I think welcome is the wrong word isn't it? That is effectively saying they are pleased they won.
Which as individuals they can crack open the bubbly, but don't say it as the trust
Did they welcome the go ahead of the appeal?
Multiple people are taking the statement the same way. Some who also hate SISU, that suggests the statement very much reads like that. Add to that the handing out of anti sisu letters outside the court room last time, I'd safe to say they did welcome the verdict but didn't welcome the "decision" for the appeal.
As I've said in this thread and the other, the legal stuff is pointless as they will just lose going forward.
Did you not welcome the verdict? Justice being served. All the pointless legal stuff resolved.
I didn't personally welcome the appeal as it was fairly obvious what the result would be. More money spent on lawyers and nothing else.
Yep, they can still take it to the European court and start JR 2. This isn't anywhere near resolved.It isn't resolved, that's the thing.
It isn't resolved, that's the thing.
Equally, I don't remember any Trust statement when Sisu were twice refused leave to Appeal. That part of the process isn't that momentous surely. Whereas the actual verdicts at the High Court and Appeal Court are definite milestones.
Sky Blue Sports and Leisure and ARVO via their parent company SISU have yet to indicate what they intend to do with respect to Mr Justice Hickinbottom’s unambiguous rejection of their Leave to Appeal to the Appeals Court. We call on Ms Seppala to make it clear that they will not be throwing more good money after bad by continuing this fruitless and futile process by appealing direct to the Court of Appeal. Not only will further appeals costs thousands more but they will also preclude talks with ACL. ACL have justifiably stated that they will not negotiate with someone who is continuing to take legal action against them, so stop the legal proceedings and get talks started for the good of all Sky Blue supporters, Coventry City and the City of Coventry itself
It isn't resolved, that's the thing.
This does raise an issue with the Trust. Very little has been seen or heard for a while now. The regular open meetings seem to have become far less frequent, can't even remember when the last one was. As I member its been a long time since I was asked for my opinion on anything.
For me the trust either needs to be active and visible at all times or stay silent. They shouldn't be there at the beck and call of the local media, only summoned when there is something that shows the owners in a poor light.
I agree with you on that point at least Nick. It seems from the Alex Carter-Silk quote that Sisu won't let this rest, notwithstanding the overwhelming weight of opinion that "Enough is Enough".
Although the Council have been awarded costs, inevitably the winner in any court case doesn't recover all sums paid out - I'm told by lawyer friends that 75% is a good return. So if CCC have incurred around £0.7 million in legal fees then the council tax payers may be underwriting £175k or more.
Whatever people's views on the rights or wrongs of the whole debacle, for Sisu to pursue what looks like a futile legal argument based on the Justices' conclusions, will just waste more of Sisu's money (their problem) but also Coventry Council Taxpayers funds.

What have they used membership fees for? Where does this money go?
I could be wrong though as it was a quick Google on my phone!
Spot on.
Clutching at straws to avoid accepting the decision and divert attention away from it.
Just wish they would challenge Sisu on a plan for the future with similar gusto.
Would probably help if more people stepped up and offered assistance, I'll certainly be looking to get more involved when I move back to the city.
Fair enough - they were right though. Sisu did throw good money after bad.
Was it? I was expecting SISU to be told to piss off again.
It is obvious this time it isn't the end of it and it will go further.
I wouldn't argue that, like I said on a thread yesterday it's like me keep starting on Anthony Joshua and getting a kickin, then starting on him again and not learning from it.
I just don't see the point in it, it is like their lawyers just want the payday and keep advising them wrong.
I did say it yesterday tooHooray - you and I have agreed for once! *Quits SBT to go and enjoy the sunshine*
It isn't resolved, that's the thing.
You obviously don't.Surely you listen to more than just people who pat you on the back for everything?
The best feedback is the negative, constructive feedback isn't it?
Would there have been a statement if the council lost? There is nothing on the website from last year when SISU got the right to appeal? There was the one about the mess up with season tickets though.
Radio silence about that, and the positive move to make tickets printable at home etc, as well as the award for the family zone, as well as anything else half decent.
I think the first line of the statement sums up what would have happened if the council had lost...
Just a PR mouthpiece, the same as the telegraph and observer.
You obviously don't.
Funny I said you and a couple of others on here would have a go no matter how it was worded.
And yes it was the right decision.
Word it properly then, even the local media have read it the same way... or they are spinning the trust against the club
In which case they are trying to get across exactly what my point was.
But it has nothing to do with the club remember.
They are 2 separate entities.

And the other parties in this mess? I'd love nothing more than the trust reeling off a list of people, then following it with, cunts.Can you just not accept it Nick ....................FUCK SISU !!!!!!!!!!!! They are cunts, pretty much everyone fucking hates them !
It's not the hating of SISU people struggle to understand... It's the lack of hatred for CCC.
I just don't get what people hope to achieve by hating CCC.
