Our long-running Save Our City campaign called for a fairer deal for the Sky Blues on a stadium and youth academy – after years of ugly multiparty disputes.
High Court judges last week again rejected owners Sisu’s claims the council’s controversial 2014 Ricoh Arena sale to the then London Wasps unlawfully shortchanged taxpayers.
Whatever the ‘state aid’ legal arguments, most Coventry City fans rightly distrusted the secretive deal amid failing political and financial agendas which have disadvantaged the historic football club.
Council-backed Wasps’ attempts to displace Sky Blues’ academy from their purpose-built home thankfully collapsed.
It’s now high time the council and/or Wasps help find our Sky Blues a better long-term deal on stadium commercial revenues.
