sorry but its a PR game again! no chance of ricoh return, i am new here, i am not sisu or acl, i'm a city fan and thats all. But i do have a little legal knowledge. I can assure you of two matters of fact.
1. the council are in trouble with the judicial review, sisu are very likely to win this time around, though it will most likely be after about 6 months of legal tangling yet.
2. the so called offer of talks is a cruel but understandable gimmick being played on by both sides to gather the fans backing, there is no intention of either party backing down as the situation is not salvageable.
To be blunt if we use the analogy of a boxing match we are in the 12th round and each boxer is about to fall to the floor, what do you do? there is no point either boxer simply bending to his knees after 11 rounds and simply give up the fight! no they both slug it out knowing they could lose, but its the only choice.
The council in my opinion will lose this battle, or they will at least be the side begging the club to buy or rent. I have been informed by Mr Fisher that the club is never going to rent the Ricoh and the Ex Council Leader Mr Mutton told me the council will never sell. The key is the Judicial Review, if the Judge agrees with the big boy barristers for Otium over the cheaper Barristers for the council (not forgetting ACL), and my personal opinion for all thats worth, the council illegally provided ACL with monies from the public to the tune of £14 million without any public consultation at all, and only with the intention of forcing a way forward in what was a completely lawful battle of wits between sisu and acl at the time regards Rent - then i believe you will find the council facing some astronomical amounts of costs and fines etc..
I hope I'm proven wrong as both sides are completely ruining the club, however I also have wish that we see out at least 1 year at sixfields, i have to admit, i love it there, the atmosphere may not be of the old days at Highfield Road but then at least it is not as horribly downbeat and tense as the Ricoh. The team seem to be shining due tot he lack of pressure on them at Sixfields, and the closeness to the pitch, the management and players is a real added bonus. If it aint broke dont fix it, thats the number one rule in life.
I also like the Mr Fisher and the rest of the Coventry City so called bigwigs sit with us, and they are approachable, I have found Mr Fisher and his wife to be lovely people who are human, some of the rubbish thrown at them is out of order. If you dont want to go to Sixfields that is your choice, but on the field Otium, Sisu, whatever you want to call them are getting it right. I support Otium, the team, the Club! When will other people see what this city Council is doing to our club? wake up - open your eyes
Duh! Duh! Duh! Another one bites the dust!
