Coventry City Council have issued the following statement following new City Chairman Ken Dulieu saying that he was meeting the Council to discuss the club getting back their share of the Ricoh Arena.
Cllr John Mutton, Leader of the Council, in a press statement, said: "We were surprised to hear the interview with the new Chief Executive of CCFC, Paul Clouting, on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire when he referred to plans to meet the Council on Saturday. We have no knowledge of the club asking for a meeting and we have nothing in our diaries for Saturday 2 April.
While we've always said that we're prepared to listen to Sisu and their wish to have a stake in the Ricoh Arena, we've always made it clear that they must have a sustainable and robust business strategy plan before they talk to us - this has been absent so far.
The club has talked about a new era of openness and transparency, which we would welcome as a Council. But so far, in their dealings with us, they have not shown this and we're disappointed they've now said twice they're meeting with us when no approach has been made to us."
