The thoughts of an independently minded MEP: My interview with Shane O'Connor is now online | Football Finance | Scoop.it
From nikkisinclairemep.blogspot.co.uk - September 6, 2013 6:43 AM
John Beech's insight:

The interview is about Nikki Sinclaire's meeting with SISU's Joy Seppala.

Again, the spotlight shifts as much to ACL (and Coventry City Council) as on SISU.  The problem at the moment is that all parties are still playing the blame game rather than trying to break the deadlock in the dispute and get the Sky Blues back in the Ricoh.  Until that happens, everyone loses.
