Last updated : 05 February 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Les Reid of the Coventry Observer has urged Coventry City supporters to keep up the pressure for an independent inquiry into Coventry City Council's sale of the Ricoh Arena to Wasps.

Mr Reid has tweeted: "As I thought, headlines mislead on auditor "independent review" of Ricoh Wasps deal after our probe. Council fob off.

" Keep up pressure and keep up calls for full inquiry, accountability & more support for . Inclusion in council annual accounts audit won't do it.

"1st said here on Oct 8 that varied £14m ACL loan to 20yrs for Wasps. We said again yestday. Not new today.

"Amazed not challenged by some,as we did,that reduced 20-year payback on Wasps taxpayer loan adds risk."
