Coventry City Independent Non Executive Director Mark Labovitch has already said that Mr Kelman who is now based in America should put his proposals to SISU through the proper channels but Mr Kelman told Simon Gilbert of the Coventry Telegraph: "We are more than happy to meet with ACL/SISU both here in the UK or the USA as they so wish, once they are willing to listen, discuss and establish the right joint solutions for all parties.

“We are not looking to do this in the normal and professional manner as this has been attempted many times with no success; what we will offer is a modern social media led and professional manner.”
