The trust need to get ACL to speak (12 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Almost certainly sisu will be the preferred bidder for ltd. That is clear.

So next week normal service will be resumed.

If the club really want to build a new ground them so be it. However there is no doubt that if they played at the Ricoh prior to construction this is the ideal solution for all concerned. It also makes it likely the ground will never be built.

Do the trust talk to ACL? Can they confirm the door is open for discussion and can they get a printed statement in time for Mondays meeting?

I think it's needed.

[The Penguin]

Completely agree.

It would also put a bit of pressure on Fisher/SISU in the PR war. Continuing to put the message, "we are open to negotiation", out in the public forum gives them something of the high ground.

I would add something extra to this though and say that the Council also need to come to the party. Their stubbornness (no matter how much I understand their position, and no matter my feelings toward SISU, that is what they have shown) does nobody any favours.

 

[stupot07]

Yep, agree if sisu are here when we come out of admin the Trust need to make this happen.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

SBT have already offered to "Broker a meeting" between ACL and SISU.....and they were roundly "Slagged off"....(Unfairly imo) by a number of posters on here.


Stupot07 says...the Trust need to make this happen.


Do you think your post is a fair one Stupot07?

 

[rupert_bear]

You are correct Grendel, sisu will have to talk to ACL as they need somewhere to play next season.

Yes I do (i never slagged them off for that) and I also think that if sisu are still here and they manage to broker a deal to play at ACL that the trust should encourage fans to stop the #notonepennymore stance.

 

[Steve.B50]

The Trust are and will continue to talk to all parties. On Thursday we asked Fisher twice would he meet with ACL, and both times he avoided saying yes or no.

We have many battles, the first being to keep the CIty in Coventry.

And this season, it may be that they're only talking to Walsall etc. about the first few months of this season.

The FL rules means they must have a ground for the whole season... though there is room for dispensations

13.9 Subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, a Club shall either own its ground or have a legally enforceable agreement with its ground's owner for its use by the Club, expiring not earlier than the end of the current Season.

If that were the case it should set alarm bells ringing at FL headquarters as it just doesn't sound cogent or give the type of guarantees required ,sounds like lets see how long ACL last ,then either ACL either go tits or SISU quit.

Steve It should really have been the Medias remit to publicise the Papers submitted in the Judicial Review and given TF seems to have virtually referred to it on a daily basis ,Has the TRUST purchased a copy ,apparently Its only £30 and TF advised us to get a copy at the SCG meeting.

Hell must have frozen over as I'm agreeing with you A Trust board member as stated above did say in the first meeting that they had ACL signed up for a meeting next week and would CCFC/SISU be there too? Tim ducked and dived almost as well as Oggy in not saying the actual word "no" but the gist of his answer was no. Probably didn't actually want to use the word "no" so that people couldn't hold him to it later on.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

Yes I do (i never slagged them off for that) and I also think that if sisu are still here and they manage to broker a deal to play at ACL that the trust should encourage fans to stop the #notonepennymore stance.

Never said you did slag them off....I said posters have done it.
It is NOT up to SBT to "Make sure the meeting happens"
And lastly....Why should SBT "Encourage" fans to stop with the "Notonepennymore"
You sure you're not on the SISU payroll?

Because if SISU do get Ltd. when all is said and done and the O1PM campaign continues, our club truly will die.

Isn't that the general idea behind the more radical meassures? Why should sisu have the pleassure of killing the club when we can do it ourself (and blame them)?

No I'm definitely not on Sisu's payroll.

I will rephrase it - if sisa come out of this admin process as owners of the football club the trust should do all they can to get ACL and Sisu into talks.

If Sisu are in charge and we are still at the Ricoh, the trust should discourage nopm because the trust is supposed to stand for what's best for the club, and starving it of income is only going to harm it. If we aren't at the Ricoh them fair enough,

Being looked into by the accountant and legal bod wingy

 

[Steve.B50]

What ever happens the Trust will do everything they can to make the supporters come first.

 

[psgm1]

Wowwhat a surprise>

scum bags at the trust claiming to be the voice of the fans!!!!

This despite them saying absolutely they are not the voice of the fans!!

Which is it???

Either just the trust or all supporters - cannot be both!!!

Cannot have it both ways steve!!!

Either you are the voice of the fans (in which case that earlier press release from your clique was an absolute lie) or you personally are lying (and you are trying to represent all fans!)

either way there are provable blatant lies being issued by the trust

who is lying?

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Acl are talking to Ltd ie the administrator because thats where everybody thinks thats where the GS is. If they talk to holdings then there is a doubt where the GS is. In my opinion thats why there are no talks and there wont be untill its finally decided who has the option to use the GS. Dont know why they are waiting because if its in limited they will have to talk to Sisu if its in holdings they will have to talk to ? Yes Sisu

Great to see stupot demanding sbt take an unethical approach!

The SBT "claims" to be democratic and represent its members. The members have spoken. NOW Stupot demanding that they DEFY their OWN membership, and get back in bed with sisu IF they fail to get them out!

HOW is this moral or ethical? If you are NOT prepared to stand up for what you believe in, then you shouldn't really be standing up.

SINCE WHEN did the trust become a political party? Are there members happy that they will simply sway with the wind rather than do what they BELIEVE in?

Did they in ANY of their literature say they will say they will take a vote and then go AGAINST that vote?

I appreciate the clique WILL inevitably try and cosy up to whoever comes out on top, but how can tey then argue they have the best intertests of even their own members yet alone the fans (which by the way they most definitely DO NOT represent!)

When a fan group no longer takes actions based on what they BELIEVE is the best way, but the most successful waty, then they have failed then membership.

You do not follow a club like ccfc because you expect success, yopu support it because it is YOUR club! If you want to follow a path just to be successful, then join Man U! You support CCFC because you have a passion for the club.

Swaying with the breeze like this betrays this notion. It is distasteful, it is morally cowardly, and well is standard practice for the clique (otherwise why are they STILL trying to get involved with sisu when their membership voted 99% to have NOTHING to do with them?)

These are questions the cliques CAN NEVER answer, because by answering they will show just how duplicitous they have become.

And is the very reason why so many people have become utterly disillusioned with their two-faced approach.

You take a principle stand, and you stick with it! You might win, you mighty lose, but you stand by your principles!

Otherwise how can you claim NOT to be as bad as sisu? SiSU at least are standing by THEIR principles - looking after #1. What Principles have the clique stood to?

Speaking for fans? Not when they are actively trying to suppress criticism they aren't!

Standing up for their membership? 99% voted to have NOTHING to do with sisu - yet they STILL want to broker talks! HOW is that having nothing to do with them?

Maybe the forums have served a purpose, if only to show how 2-faced the clique are and how pointless talks are!

I've set up a new thread in your own name. Why not post on there and leave the grown ups to have a sensible discussion?

I think it's needed.

Why would ACL allow a future competitor to use their stadium until they build their own stadium which would then possibly put them out of business?

Whats unethical about working with THE CLUB, to help keep THE CLUB at the RICOH???

The vote was was about what stance the TRUST should have on any move AWAY from the RICOH, and try to PURSUADE the ADMINISTRATOR to choose someone who IS NOT SISU.

My scenario is IF Sisu REMAIN in charge on EXITING administration.

 

[Grendel]

Why would ACL allow a future competitor to use their stadium until they build their own stadium which would then possibly put them out of business?

The proposed ground is football based only and only a very small minority on here think that ACL will not survive without the club.

If it does affect financial viability it makes more sense to agree a short term deal to low ACL a time frame to secure a new tenant.

How would ACL survive without CCFC?
No new tenant exist that could utilise such a big stadium.
People should STOP entertaining TF reference a new stadium. It's what he wants and it is bluff to stress ACL.

 

[Grendel]

It's what he wants and it is bluff to stress ACL.

Why do you care about ACL?

 

[oakey]

Why do you care about ACL?

Maybe because they control the only football stadium in Coventry and most of us think doing a deal with ACL is better than not doing one.
I think you agree.

 

[Grendel]

I think you agree.

No whatever happens ACL needs to merge with the club. Otherwise the outlook is bleak. I suspect any new investor will be no more forgiving than sisu regarding ACL.

Given that sisu will almost certainly be the preferred bidder we need to establish will ACL contemplate a 3 year deal. It's an important question - ACL's "feelings" are certainly of no importance.

 

[deanocity3]

Acl has a football ground
sisu don't
end of story.
ricoh here we come.
from the leagues point of view what is the best option.
All we want is a team that plays in coventry and in a ground the whole city can use,not a little shit hole that holds 15,000,where's the ambition in that

 

[Ashdown1]

Almost certainly sisu will be the preferred bidder for ltd. That is clear.

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Well i'm off to France for 6 days, I miss the most important week of the clubs life, that's my bad luck as I won't have internet where i'm going as its really bloody rural.
I hope and pray that when I get back we have new owners, if not that's me finished with home games in Walsall or where ever. I will keep in touch via the missus whose staying behind but I won't get all the juicy bits until next Saturday.

I will keep everything crossed, and say a word to the big man upstairs, Good luck Coventry City football club, you will need it if these incompetants stay
