The same on as sphinx and copsewood.
how many leagues are Cov Utd off the conference ?
Its likely they will get promoted this season, what league do they go into ?

For the first time I looked for Coventry United's result first. Could hardly believe I did this. (The won 3-1 in the Cup by the way). I am Sky Blue first and foremost, or thought I was. Shocked even myself today that I was more interested in United's result than Sky Blues.
At least United are ambitious, have a plan they are sticking to and have a structure in place for advancing through the pyramid. They are Coventry through and through.
VOR sits back and now awaits usual abuse.
No they are 2 leagues below sphinx, and 1 below Copsewood. (http://www.midlandfootballleague.co.uk/league-tables.html).
According to Wiki the Midlands Combination covers tiers 10-12, so United are in the 12th Tier, the conference is the 5th tier so 7 promotions needed. Can't see that happening.

Point taken NW. Looking at the last SISU "Offer" Which of the two offers "SISU" or "Wasps" would you have taken? If it has taken you longer than a "Nanosecond" to answer, then I would question your own logicality.It's been proven that nobody would buy ACL at the formula price, and with lease as given then. SISU have been proven quite right in not taking up that option.

AFC Wimbledon (everyone's favourite anti-franchise club) started in Level 9. Fan-owned, they've had 5 promotions and are back in the FL in Div 4 (just one below CCFC).
They seem to be on the verge of buying their own ground in their own Borough of Merton.
Remember, Winkie stiffed Wimbledon even worse than SISU have stiffed you. Perhaps the Trust should create formal links with AFC? If SISU try to permanently franchise you somewhere next time, you might benefit from their advice.
There's nothing like a lazy bugger that doesn't do any research is there Nick! Firstly, at the takeover of the Club the "Formula price" was estimated at £8-10m which has reduced as time past.(Last one I believe was approx £4-6m) Secondly, Fisher himself offered £2.8m with various conditions, one of which was disclosure of details of CCC/ACL/Higgs defence of the JR. Thirdly, If any "Veto" by Wasps was factual, it wasn't used because CCC/ACL/Higgs have got a business brain and turned down flat SISU's condition riddled offer.....That good enough for you?Are you forgetting the Wasps veto also? Do you know any of the conditions or anything? As for the "formula", how much was that for the Higgs share?
The difference between step 9 and 12 is massive.
Cov Utd won't walk it next season the standard goes up steeply as you go up the leagues.
Do they pay players at Cov Utd? No other team in that division does to my knowledge, it's average Sunday league standard.
You smell in my opinion. And you've got bent toes.
Of course it gets harder, but as teams rise up the leagues players come in and players go. What matters is that you have a competitive team for the league you are in.
So far Cov Utd have been very successful at the level they have been at, although they haven't been going 2 seasons yet, so it is a shortish track record!

Well you are a cock then.
Snippet taken from the "Guardian".................. Coventry’s owners, Sisu, had tried to buy the charity’s stake but their bid was rejected. “The trustees, having considered the conditional offer from the Joint Liquidators of CCFC Ltd, have decided to reject that offer,” confirmed a statement from Alan Edward Higgs Charity. Coventry confirmed an offer made for the charity’s stake was around £2.8m and they will continue to pursue their plans for a new stadium. A club statement read: “Naturally, the club are extremely disappointed. Our proposal was for a far-reaching partnership with the Higgs Charity to work together on community projects. Advertisement “Despite the fact access to critical documentation was denied, the liquidator’s offer for the charity’s 50% stake in the Ricoh Arena was generous and guaranteed above market value price.Have you got the link about the conditions? Not saying you are wrong, just haven't seen it.

IIRC the conditions were about ccfc wanting to work with Higgs on community engagement and charitable causes, which should have been in Higgs interests

Where does it say about the conditions?
Many non-league clubs merge to further their ambitions. How about this scenario. Coventry United get promoted to Midland Premier and then Sphinx and United merge to form Coventry Sphinx United.The Non League system is commonly described as "steps" to keep it simple. The conference is step 1 of Non League.
As it stands:
Coventry Sphinx play at Step 5 (Midland League Premier)
Both Coventry Copsewood and Alvis Sporting play at Step 6 (Midland League Division 1)
Coventry United play at Step 7 (Midland League Division 2)
So where does it say the conditions? Nobody is attacking anything,you go on about people , research and being lazy but not share a link to that yetSome people are very quick to attack posts without doing any research themselves. Just a couple of points here, 1) How can a company in the last throws of liquidation with no more than £1m in assets over a period of 3-4 years make an offer of nearly £3m? 2) Why would CCFC ltd not give reasons for conditions in order to show transparency?....I think we all know why don't we?
You can do all the research you want. You still haven't found what the conditions were. Wasted your time putting up irrelevant links to random articles.Some people are very quick to attack posts without doing any research themselves.
