Bristol City manager Sean O'Driscoll is predicting a media circus surrounding their game against Coventry City on Sunday.
Coventry City play their first game at Sixfields Stadium thanks to a decision by Tim Fisher, a man whose already large list of failures as a so called businessman grew on Tuesday morning when the judicial review, brought by companies he has an involvement with, was thrown out of the High Court, took it upon himself the decision to move Coventry City out of the club's Ricoh Arena base for the last eight years.
This decision, which came about all because he could not get his own way with the not without blame Arena Coventry Limited and Coventry City Council, after SISU had withdrawn their monthly rent and despite City supporters, his own employees, the media, football in general, the Football League and Parliament, telling him, that he has made a very wrong decision, Mr Fisher blundered on, apparently quite happy to off-load 95% of the club's customer base, whilst doing a deal with Northampton Town's Chairman, which Walsall FC had already seen through.
One of the biggest mistakes ever made by a Club CEO has attracted huge media interest with Club Journalist Kieran Crowley tweeting that he was busy with press applications for Sunday.
The Daily Mail, whose credence is zero after that City selling Baker, Leon Clarke and Joe Murphy story was proved to be nowhere near the truth, were at City's game at Crawley last Saturday, trying to interview City supporters and them and the rest of the nationals plus Coventry ,Warwickshire and Northampton press are expected to be there for the game, with some of the tabloids probably hoping for a mass outbreak of trouble, to fill their column inches until they go back to blanket coverage of the Premier League and City matches return to getting a sentence in the nationals, if we are lucky.
As for Sean O'Driscoll's comments, they are spot on. .A media circus, it will be and all to cover another low point in the club's history when we thought things could not get any worse and all because Tim Fisher was not man enough to walk away from the negotiations over the Ricoh Arena and let someone else try and sort out the mess.
