I have been emailed an article in todays , wednesday 24th , coventry evening telegraph , coventry city ltd did indeed move the player registrations to coventy city holdings , both sisu affiliated companys . I fail to see how this is not fraudulent . But i am sure the sisu hedge fund knows how to circumvent the laws . There is also a emergency meeting being held on friday to try and resolve the situation over the ground share . -

What a mess. The Football League really do need to be stronger on these kind of issues. The Fit and Proper Owners test doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's written on.
Best of luck. -

The ACL have offered a reduced rent rate of between £150,000 and £400,000 a year (depending on division. That's a big decrease on the £1m+ the club were having to pay.
You think that'll be enough to keep them at the Ricoh, darth? -

ACL are now in the position that if the Ricoh is left empty the city council will be footing the bill until they get another tenant . Any money i am guessing is better than nothing . One thing that still lingers is the potential that Otium build another stadium . The Coventry Bees speedway idea won't happen there are to many people to oppose it on conservation grounds . There is a rumour they wish to build a new stadium near to the HS2 rail line near to meridan and berkswell , this is viable under the HS2 scheme . I think Coventry will remain in the city but with only 300 season tickets sold are they going to get a decent fan base this season ?? -

Can't imagine there are too many other organisations in the Coventry area on the lookout for a 30,000+ seater stadium.
At £150,000 a year you'd think that was a cracking deal for Otium/SISU. Any idea how much they'll be paying Northampton to play there? -

The only price we have heard of for playing in Northampton is the owner of SISU has been instructed to put up a 1 million pound bond to the FA . There are no other organisations anywhere near who want to play at the Ricoh . We used to have European cup rugby , wasps and Leicester have played there . But since the olympics everything is going to Birmingham . The only way to fill the Ricoh is hold a music gig or concert .. Or Rampant on Tour maybe ??? lol -

Now there's an idea. Maybe FMR, dVious and me could start a band? Or were you thinking more along the lines of hot girl not wearing much? Either's do-able. -

Just in:
The CVA has been rejected and the club are facing liquidation, which would trigger a minimum deduction of 15 points. 'Minimum' being the key word there, could quite possibly be more.
Odds on relegation shortened to 6/4. Not looking good. -

A article today in the Coventry Evening Telegraph ,has the football League apologizing for putting the players contracts with Coventry City Holdings LTD and not Coventry City LTD , the club in liquidation . Interesting . But what are they going to do about it ?? Also the Club has plenty of capital so it can be run for at least 5 more years !!
