Live: European Commission Ricoh complaint is 'not legal action'
Complaint made in feb, apparently now its 'not' legal action
Just what the fuck is going on
To be fair Coventry Council are notorious for trying to avoid wasting taxpayers money on trips to Europe. Not like they disappear off to Cannes every year and then refuse to report back on their visit.meetings attended to aid the investigation, travel time to Brussels etc etc by both sides ?
The more Gilbert responds on twitter justifying releasing this 'news' yesterday the more it seems he's been played.
Sounds more and more like a PR exercise to blame Sisu for everything again
Coventry City's proposed Ricoh Arena return blocked by European Commission
All the optimism gone within the space of 24 hours. Fuck every party involved in destroying our football club
Club released statement saying talks are ongoing so its all turned out to be bullshit from GilbertThe headline is very misleading, so let's get this straight. It's the insects that have blocked further talks. Presumably because Sisu made a complaint to the EC that the CCC broke the EU rules when selling the Ricoh to the insects. The point is that Sisu have not made a complaint to the EC about the insects. They were simply the beneficiaries of the alleged breach by CCC. This seems to me like pretty thin basis for discontinuing talks. Unless of course the insects have some reason to fear the EC investigation into circumstances around their purchase of the Ricoh?
So as it stands there is no actual reason why negotiations can't continue or am I missing something?
How can somebody in Brussels stop us playing football in a stadium in Coventry?
Gilbert now saying that all parties only found out this week in regards to the complaint, making it up as he goes along
He's not wrong. The Lucas thing infuriates me. How you can openly and repeatedly lie to the public and there not be any comeback when you're found out is beyond me. Tried complaining to the local government ombudsman about it only to be told you can't file a complaint about something like that as it doesn't impact you as an individual.This is a fun thread to watch unfold
Seems he's been out in the sun too long and has got sunstroke.Gilbert said:I've consistently held all to account on this
Sisu’s complaint to the commission is not a legal process per se.
“The European Commission is in charge of policing state rules, so Sisu’s complaint is very much like referring someone – in this case Coventry City Council – to the police.
“It is probably fair to say, therefore, that Sisu are not bringing any legal action against the Wasps.”
That was when Reid was there, he didn't agree with their decision to cover it up and got pushed out. Not sure if Gilbert was there in a more junior role prior to taking Reid's place.Weren’t Simon Gilbert part of the cover up of the ACL sale because “it was public interest”

If you ask him about it on twitter he claims to have no knowledge about it, bit strange for someone who's written a book about the whole saga.
Whats he saying?Andy Goode all over it as well, standard Wasps PR guy.
True, more like a governing body isn't it?The analogy with reporting to the police is slightly out, it's more like reporting somebody to a regulator. The police implies it is a crime.
It's all sisu. The same guy who keeps been shown to be wrong when he says players won't leave, the accounts were fine and people are just jealous. He's employed by wasps.Whats he saying?

Any ideas why Sky have said any rent agreement has been blocked? Or has more news been released since Gilbert needed some click bait?
Maybe the EC will think fuck it, you're leaving the Union and we don't want lots of problem cases dragging on for years, so do one.
