The trust weren't asking for clarity, the telegraph approached them to help push something. Quite obvious really what it was about and why.Indeed. And as the article that the thread is supposed to be about is the Trust asking for clarity on just that. Shame it got twisted into another Wasps thread.
Only two clubs should have been discussed on this thread and that's CCFC and CRFC. That lasted as far as post #2.

Will.hide it in a match thread or about players next time!Just think, if Wasps hadn't been mentioned you might have missed it completely
Oh well another one of Tonys little conspiracies falls flat

He's posted quite a few on football threads in the last couple of hours? You haven't.I suggest you look at your own post count on Wasps threads, what wasn't Wasps threads but are now Wasps threads to actual football threads before you start judging my post history.

There's no mention of crfc in the article, but there is wasps? So the second paragraph doesn't make sense.
No, it's ccfc with wasps isn't it? Not just wasps.So you admit to starting a wasps thread in the Coventry City general chat section. Don't you think that you should have started it in or move it to the Wasps sub forum then?

As I've pointed out many times to you. I stopped taking this site seriously as a CCFC site long ago. This thread being all the proof you need.
It's become a soap box for people to blame anyone other than the people who are actually responsible for the club and there aren't too many threads on here where that doesn't happen.

No, it's ccfc with wasps isn't it? Not just wasps.
Let's take page #1 as an example. Despite the title of the thread by post #2 You're straight onto Wasps, #5 you're onto Elliot and Hoffman and post #9 you're onto Higgs and Wasps again. You didn't despite the title mention our owners or anyone on the current board. It's pretty obvious from the off which direction you wanted this thread to go and it had nothing to do with the thread title.
To be fair to FP he did try to keep it on topic pointing out that the Trust is right to ask this question of the owners. You briefly agree and then go of on a tangent again.
Because it's blatantly obvious that the article is part of some silly pr game isn't it? How did the telegraph want the reaction to be when they published it?
The difference is I'm an individual, not a local media outlet who keep going on about fair reporting and just reporting the truth etc.
The title of the thread doesn't explain everything does it? The same as a headline, there's content in the op too.

Why would the cet approach the trust for comments about it? They wanted to push that story for some reason.Is that a Nick SBT exclusive? I know you put a question mark at the end of the first sentence but it does read as a statement.
I still believe that Sisu only moved us back because they got word of the Wasps deal.
It goes without saying that the negotiations had started with Wasps well before we came back.
If you go back to the start of the thread you will see most people agree there is a need for some clarity over what is going on but question why the trust, who have been silent for months, suddenly issued a statement. That came hot on the heels of a story in the CT about Wasps potentially taking over Higgs.
Turns out people were right to question that as the Trust hadn't actually issued a statement but had been approached by the CT and asked to comment.
You could question why the CT are running this type of story.
Nah, I don't buy that. Remember when we returned, CCC were stating that they were glad we were back but it was too early to talk about ownership; to build bridges...at the same time as doing a deal with Wasps. If SISU knew that then you can be sure we'd have heard all about it in a courtroom somewhere!
Exactly. Everyone knows SISU have been awful owners but what I cannot fathom is anyone defending CCC. They're not a business, they're supposed to represent the people of Coventry. Instead they accelerated the sale of the stadium built for the football club to a London rugby club with no prior consideration of the consequences or consultation with the people they claim to represent.
To add to that they've colluded with some of the local media to ensure they come out as positive as possible whilst keeping their public in the dark.

And people defend them! Amazing really.
I think that "building trust" was somewhere in there too, Torchy. They certainly did that, didn't they? :sarcasm:
Sometimes we need to see the bigger picture by taking off our sky blue tinted glasses.
The bigger picture includes the social construction of a city, its heritage and how that works in the embedded consciousness, and can also work in selling the idea of a city overseas.
It seems very few take this into account!
Including Tim Fisher on our return
"Tim Fisher, the Sisu-appointed club chairman, declined to respond to the MPs’ criticisms, telling the Guardian he wants to look ahead to the Ricoh return. However he maintains Sisu “have to own our own ground”. and that it is continuing with plans to build a new one."
And people defend them! Amazing really.
Just as a matter of balance, what did Sisu say about building bridges at the time ?

They definitely knew about the Wasps deal well before they ran that story. They've been in bed with the council for years.

Said the man on his soapbox.
You might not take the site seriously but it doesnt explain why you dont know who the CCFC players are.
