They have been doing more than the bare minimum as Boddy’s programme notes show. There’s a lot of distrust though both ways and that makes it hard

Sisu are like those incel kids who refuse to wash or talk to girls then get angry at the popular boys who “don’t treat them right”. Do the fucking basics before whining others are doing better.
They’ve come in from day one without a clue how to handle a local authority or what their priorities are. Not once I’ve they put forward a vision anyone can buy into, not once have they been honest about their intentions. All they’ve done is try and get an asset on the cheap and throw mud at anyone who gets in their way.
Take the emotion of being a CCFC fan out of it and it’s fucking silly to ask “why does this local authority was two major sports teams in its locality?”. You know why they want Wasps it’s the same reasons we all wheeled out when CCFC were going to leave the area.
What the council cares about is regeneration, jobs, maybe some National and international recognition that makes investment easier to come by, and not having endless costly legal battles. Wasps turned up and offered that while Sisu offered fuck all but hostile press and vexatious lawsuits.
You can piss and moan that the council want that and not to make CCFC a champions league team or whatever but that’s the way of the world.
That’s why I focus on Sisu when it comes to CCFC. If we want to talk about the councils failings for the city of Coventry I could talk all day but this isn’t skyscrapercity or Twitter or whatever it’s SkyBluesTalk.
This is stunningly easy: if you want something, put the bare minimum amount of effort into getting it or STFU and cry into your beer.
Answer the question!
This is Fucking frustrating. If Sisu offered the best bid for ACL and didn’t get it for underhand reasons then I’ll join you with the pitchforks at whoever did that. If they played silly buggers then no sympathy.
Hmmm, but as we often say, he ain't SISU and he doesn't have a hotline about ground ownership issues, even to his own paymasters.as Boddy’s programme notes show.

I'd be waiting until any deals were finished before doing that... although if I really had £15mil+ going spare for the ground, I'd have certainly let the general public know *that* before now!If SISU had be slighted in this whole thing - we’d have known. They’d have shouted from the rooftops about it
Previously yes but I think individuals have maturedIf SISU had be slighted in this whole thing - we’d have known. They’d have shouted from the rooftops about it

I want them to fund a successful football club. Didn’t give a toss about the north of CoventryIf I was Sisu and I was serious and I thought CCC were going to ply silly buggers I’d have made it politicially toxic to do so.
As me and NW have been saying there’s a newer group of councillors who don’t have that history and could easily be swayed by a reasonable proposal that focuses on the councils needs.
FFS the Telegraph will print any old shite relating to CCFC, get a fancy mock up done, go to Andy Turner with “CCFCs plan for arena” and use all that finely honed bullshit from the new stadium wheeze to good effect to say “look what you could have and it would help the club”. Isolate the old guard in the council and make it clear you’re in the running.
All that’s come out is “they want to wait until it’s in admin” which just plays into the “Sisu just want a bargain” and not “CCFC can regenerate the north of Cov” which is what the council want to hear.
They don’t even need to be particularly inventive, just steal the 2014 Wasps prospectus and find replace with CCFC.
Doubtful - I’ve seen no evidence to suggest otherwisePreviously yes but I think individuals have matured
You’re missing what he’s saying - do a Wasps, bullshit the council to curry favour, get the arena and say we can’t afford it sorryI want them to fund a successful football club. Didn’t give a toss about the north of Coventry
I said IF. Not they had I was trying to get your reaction to that figure
Wow ok . Not accepting the first bids in the summer and holding out for a proper value?Doubtful - I’ve seen no evidence to suggest otherwise

I’m not and I understand they want to wined dined and 69’d. But it got them a whole heap of pain and no investment. I’d prefer honest we just want a place to play and we can talk about joint initiativesYou’re missing what he’s saying - do a Wasps, bullshit the council to curry favour, get the arena and say we can’t afford it sorry
Then panicked and went back Cap in hand to Blackburn becuase they couldn’t sell a star and flogged Hyam for a pack of crisps and a can of coke, then didn’t pay the tax bill?Wow ok . Not accepting the first bids in the summer and holding out for a proper value?
increasing wages to extend contacts?
Given the original vote on building the Arena was only carried by giving way to Dave Nellist's request for more regeneration around the area (that still hasn't happened) it's safe to say it's a trick that seems to continue to work(!)You’re missing what he’s saying - do a Wasps, bullshit the council to curry favour, get the arena and say we can’t afford it sorry
Think the tax bill was a whole ago and the Hyam stuff we’ve decided is what it is based on waggotThen panicked and went back Cap in hand to Blackburn becuase they couldn’t sell a star and flogged Hyam for a pack of crisps and a can of coke, then didn’t pay the tax bill?

If that’s the best bid (and I think it’s about that that Ashley has offered?) then great. I hope they get it.
The Hyam stuff really isn’t great listening really, and you talk of not paying a tax bill was an anomaly…. It’s fucking amateurThink the tax bill was a whole ago and the Hyam stuff we’ve decided is what it is based on waggot

No- don't be obtuse. I said if SISU had offered £16m and no debt and a secure lease what do think the reaction would have been?
Remember in 2011 when Ranson realised his plan was fucked and quit. That idiot Dulieu came in and at the very first press conference announcing the new board he declared the club would be meeting with the council to discuss buying the stadium, a meeting which the council said wouldn't take place, sometimes wonder if there's more to that than Dulieu being useless.They came in having been sold a false vision by Ray Ranson and only realised years afterwards what they'd really walked into. It was about 2010 that they decided to turn off the tap and 2012 that the idea was born to distress the stadium to their advantage.
What are people bidding for? How much is something worth if you don’t know what you are allowed to purchase?
Then we won’t get the arena because other people will offer that stuff and that’s the priority for the council.
It’s like teachers who refuse to change for Ofsted, very noble but ultimately stupid as they’ll assume that’s what you’re doing and penalise you accordingly.

you’ve said it’s nothing to do with the council
That bit seems oddly familiar...... I am sure our owners recognise that tactic
Higgs with PWKH?
