Coventry City fans group, the Sky Blue Trust, says it's pleased that the long-running legal row between club owner Sisu and Coventry City Council looks to be over.

The Supreme Court has refused Sisu permission to continue a dispute over rent at Ricoh Arena.

The fans' trust says it hopes the decision "heralds the apparent conclusion to off-field distractions".

A statement on its website said it hoped Sisu could "try to restore amicable, business-like relations with all the organisations they have alienated during this protracted, acrimonious dispute to establish, for the good of the supporters, a positive future for the club".

It added: "The Trust calls on Sisu to put a stop to any further court action and return to the negotiating table to secure a sustainable future for the Club at the Ricoh Arena and to resolve the issues with its training facility and academy or, if they have no such inclination, to put the club up for sale to secure a new owner who is committed to a long-term, successful future for Coventry City FC."

Sisu has been contacted for comment.

A bid by Sisu, the owners of Coventry City FC, to continue a legal fight against the council over Ricoh Arena has been thwarted by the Supreme Court.

The local authority's loan of public funds to a previous owner of the venue was deemed lawful following a judicial review. Now permission for an appeal by Sisu - which contested the ruling - has been rejected.

Council leader George Duggins said he was "amazed" legal action had been continued after the judicial review's finding in its favour.

"It's very sad the club decided this was the way it would go and Sisu do need to look at the way in which they've conducted themselves over a period of time."

At the centre of the row was a dispute over rent at the Ricoh, with the club relocating to Northampton in the 2013/14 season.

Sisu has been contacted for comment.

The latest twist in a legal row over the Ricoh arena should be used as a platform to move the beleaguered Sky Blues forward, says Coventry City Council whose conduct has been upheld by the Supreme Court.

In the 2013/14 season, a rent dispute with then-stadium operator ACL meant the Sky Blues played home games at Northampton Town’s ground.

The club had been taken to court by ACL in August 2012 over an unpaid rent bill, with the club saying by December 2012 that rent was too high and should be renegotiated.    

The following month, the council loaned £14m in public funds to ACL, saying it was protecting an asset for the city – a controversial move but one found to have been lawful by a judicial review in 2014.

Club owner Sisu, which had contested the loan’s legality, intended to appeal, saying, the finding “removed any prospect” of a long-term stay at the stadium.

But the Supreme Court has now refused the bid – “the right conclusion,” according to the council, which has called on Sisu to “focus on bringing success back to the club both on and off the pitch”. Sisu has been contacted for comment.

It says 3,400 calls were made to the Kenilworth charity in the 30 days following Christmas last year from new owners wanting to give up their dog.

Chief executive Adrian Burder (pictured with rescue pup Ruby) said people ended up abandoning puppies as if they're "just another unwanted gift".
