I thought you might be interested in this: an exploration of Otium and the Football League Rules from a legal perspective.
I'm a law student and created a sports law blog, partly in response to your plight. This is its first post.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
I have actually written to the House of Commons' Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, copied to the FA and the Football League, drawing their attention to the current situation and my blog.
The CMS select committee is on the side of football fans and is holding the FA, Premier League and Football League to account - but they need evidence.
You can write to them through your MP (if you ask your MP to pass a letter on, he should) but you can also email them directly. I don't know what this site's rules on posting other people's email addresses, but if you do an internet search for "Culture Media and Sport Select Committee Contact" it should provide you with a page on the Parliament website with full details.
The League can ignore fans (and usually do) - but they know that they can be called back to the Select Committee at any time to explain themselves.

Has anyone sent this link to the National Press and the Coventry Telegraph/Observer ? I sent it to the Football League.
I'd rather they did their big hitting now TBH,Influence will be negligible once decisions are made.Are we all assuming though that because the FL chairman has said we will work with Otium as a statement that they will support them and accept them. Greg Clark has to say this because at the moment Otium are the administrators prefered bidder and not presented a case yet. Appleton has to say that too as according to the rules they have bid the best bid for the creditiors which by law he has to accept.
There seems to be an uneasy silence at the moment. I am relying on that the big hitters, MPs, lawyers and others are hanging back until final decisions have been made. I still believe Otium (sisu) are well behind the black ball and almost need a couple of snookers but they are good players.
Who are Wynacre Ltd? Where did they pop up from? Do they now own us?

It's the silence from sisu and fisher that makes you wonder what's going on.
Walsall's knock back, ACL's repeated offer to talk, even the stewards refusal to work out of town are all reducing SISU's options, cranking up the pressure, forcing them into a corner.
You never know, they might have an outbreak of common sense and decide that selling up is the best option after all. Doubt it, though.
