Earlier this week Sisu won the right to launch an appeal relating to their application for a judicial review of Coventry City Council’s actions which means that there will now have to be an oral hearing.The financial and time costs for Sisu have been substantial and I sometimes wonder why they don’t come to the conclusion that investing in a football club was not a smart idea and cut their losses. But clearly it has become a matter of pride for them. They may also think that ACL will eventually go into administration without the revenue from the club enabling them to acquire the Ricoh at a heavily discounted price.
