Sisu v Coventry City Council: Decision by Supreme Court
We note the decision of the Supreme Court in the on-going dispute between Sisu and Coventry City Council, whereby Sisu have been refused permission to take this matter any further in the English Courts.
For the sake of the supporters of Coventry City FC and other stakeholders, we call upon Joy Seppala and her legal team to take no further court action, either in the original Judicial Review or in JR2 which would concern the sale of Arena Coventry Limited to Wasps Rugby Club and the associated long lease arrangements of the Ricoh Arena.
This protracted litigation has been deeply damaging to relationships between Coventry City and its key partners in the area. The breakdown of discussions with Wasps / ACL over the renewal of match-day arrangements after the 2017/18 season is a prime example but not the only instance where Sisu’s conduct has harmed the fortunes of the football club.
Having reached what we hope will be a full-stop in legal proceedings, we also repeat our call on Sisu to “Sell Up & Go” in accordance with the wishes of almost 20,000 signatures on the Coventry Telegraph’s petition.
We demand that Ms Seppala recognises that the stewardship of Coventry City FC by her hedge fund and its nominated club directors has brought nothing but failure and mediocrity and it is time to make way for new owners who will cherish the Sky Blues and respect the fans of CCFC.
