So, it's a complaint direct to the European Commission about whether the council acted against EU law. This isn't a court case, so no further legal costs to any party. Reading the blurb on the EC site, there's no way to claim damages other than via national courts, and as it stands that route has been exhausted.
The risk here would seem to be to the Council directly, being exposed as failing to follow EU law. Maybe if the Commission found that true, SISU could start another case in the courts for damages against CCC but that seems a very long way away, and with an even slimmer chance of Wasps being directly impacted.
I have serious doubts that it'll get anywhere, given the scrutiny it's already had from the courts here...
I'm going to hazard a guess that SISU take their legal advise from lawyers and legal experts rather than football fans :woot:
He's right on his first point! Calls himself a Cov Kid? Don't think so! He's an insect larva!
Why did they decide to investigate?All we know (only based on rumours) at the moment is that this is a non legal investigation undertaken by a European body, not sisu, that started in February.
If the talks break down because of this London Wasps deserve all they get.
Stuff like that is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm not in the city. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself having a go at the franchise supporting cunts when they pipe up.
Because of a complaint by sisu. One undertaken in February and as such should have been a barrier to talks beginning if they were an issue so in no way a credible reason for talks breaking down. Red herring.Why did they decide to investigate?
There is nothing to suggest that they are, currently. But it is alleged by Giblet that SISU have complained to the EC about the actions of the Council being contrary to EU law on public support of commercial organisations.Why did they decide to investigate?
yup. only time i see them is when wasps game on around holbrooksRarely see wasps supporters in Coventry, see 1 or 2 twats walk around with a wasps cap or a wasps t shirt but it's extremely rare, at least over tile Hill Canley way.
On visits to the city centre I rarely if ever see anything wasps related

You’re right, as long as they knew about it prior to the talks beginning and were prepared to go ahead with the talks anyway.Because of a complaint by sisu. One undertaken in February and as such should have been a barrier to talks beginning if they were an issue so in no way a credible reason for talks breaking down. Red herring.
See the tramps all the time. I was out for a meal the other week and table of 4 of them sat down on the table next to me with their Wasps coats and scarves
Luckily if you live in Coventry you never see them!Stuff like that is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm not in the city. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself having a go at the franchise supporting cunts when they pipe up.
IS it even possible for them to stop an investigation?You’re right, as long as they knew about it prior to the talks beginning and were prepared to go ahead with the talks anyway.
Could Wasps, as part of their negotiations have tried to get SISU to drop that complaint and failed hence the impasse now?
Luckily if you live in Coventry you never see them!
We could do with knowing exactly when he first became aware of it though do you think?Cheers for leaking this Gilbert, really have helped the situation m8
He seems quite quiet these days! Maybe he doesn't want to get embroiled and is respecting the NDAs quoted?The complaint was made in February! So why has Gilbert taken until now to leak it on Twitter? (This guy has an Axe to grind with the clubs owners) This is engineered to Alianate the public against SISU-CCFC!. By the reaction of some fans on here it seems to be working, I was in the Pub last night and listening to punters having a right old rage at SISU about it and I explained that its not the European Court of Justice they said that Gilbert didnt say that on his Twitter! I said "My point exactly the Guy is a shit stirrer of the highest order" he is working on the fact that he sees most of his followers as morons and will not know the difference. Does anyone know how to investigate the European Commision site to find its source etc! Wonder if Reid is looking into it for the Coventry Observer
If it was in Feb why the hell would he leak it while both parties are in negotiationsWe could do with knowing exactly when he first became aware of it though do you think?
I can’t believe he would have known about it ages ago as he would not have been able to resist some ‘breaking news’ and told the story.
Could be wrong though.
I don’t know really as I don’t know how the commission works?IS it even possible for them to stop an investigation?
They said drop legal action and then they would negotiate. This isn't legal action. Who leaked it?
For a club that now claims to have been nomadic and close to going out of business without their own stadium the way their fans relish the problems facing the football club says a lot about rugby supporters.
When the council & Wasps told him.We could do with knowing exactly when he first became aware of it though do you think?
Maybe they did tell him, but I still want to know when they told him.When the council & Wasps told him.
Well the council would have told the franchise when they were first notified.Maybe they did tell him, but I still want to know when they told him.
