The court in Birmngham this morning heard that SISU boss Joy Seppala would with draw funding from Coventry City Football Club if they were not given the Ricoh Arena.
The claim was made during the court case which sees the Alan Higgs Charity suing SISU for £29k and SISU, who turned up with seven legal representatives, counter-claiming for £290k for costs incurred after talks about buying the Ricoh Arena fell through.
According to the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert, The Higgs Legal Representative John Brennan said "a strategic meeting was held between Coventry City Council, Higgs and Sisu on April 19, 2012. In that meeting Sisu boss Joy Seppala claimed that Sisu would withdraw CCFC funding unless they could agree a deal for the Ricoh Arena."
