The Football League still has the final say... we could now make every effort to persuade them NOT to approve SISU - up to us. Is it worth the effort ?

Hoo fuckinfg raThey can't play there for free once they exit administration.
Professor Beech football finance expert from Cov. Uni seemed to think the FL would okay the Administrators recomendation as the creditors have been paid in full but not 100% certain. Said sisu have to convince them of their ground sharing and new ground proposals, submit a million pound bond and some other things. Still find it hard how they can guarantee a new ground when they have yet to secure a site, get planning permission and finance the project as for the ground share the financial viability of that has to be questioned.
The fl will allow this to happen absolute definete about that, then we have to and support our team on the pitch makes me sick some idiots on here saying club is dead and wont go any more i support my club through whatever happens i hate sisu but if were stuck with them so be it...

Does anyone know the definitive ratification criteria for FL approval? There must be a list of conditions that must be met for the FL to sanction the administrators view?
Thank fook for that.They can't play there for free once they exit administration.
So you would have moved from Wimbledon to Milton Keynes if you had been supporting them back then? And if not then there is a line that your support would stop at. It is therefore a measure of degrees and what a lot of people are saying is that line has been breached. Surely you can understand that!
But that move to Milton Keynes was always going to be permament and it was essentially a new club that was formed - so a franchise. Unless you think the town of Walsall can sustain two league sides?
The moment it becomes apparent that it is permanent (which the league would not allow anyway) everyone would jump ship and follow a new club as was the case with AFC Wimbledon.
To be honest, I still don't think we will even play in Walsall. Strongly suspect a deal will be done to play at the Ricoh next week or shortly thereafter.
Probably a complete waste of time, but i just dropped this into their inbox..
Good morning.
Forgive me if I have the wrong email address, but hopefully you will be able to forward this to the relevant area?
I have awoken this morning to some extremely concerning news regarding Coventry City Football Club. It seems that the 'Administrator' (whom I understand was somehow appointed by the failing incumbent owner. I fail to grasp how this can be, but am not knowledgeable enough in the machinations of insolvency law to be able to comment further, so will let it go) has decided that the very owners who placed the Club into Administration should be the body to 'buy' the shell of the Club - and the so-called 'Golden Share' - and be allowed to run it.
This, to me, utterly beggars belief!
Yes, I realise that the 'preferred bidders' have a different name, but only the most naive of fools would fail to see the connection.
This 'owner', 'custodian', whatever, has over the past few years managed to alienate probably at least 90% of the supporter base of the club with its consistent failures and general mismanagement. Can the Football League possibly condone this as a rational, financially-sound, sensible way to go on? The Club has all but been crushed already. It now has (had?) a chance to rise again and at least play football in its home City, and who knows, maybe even one day flourish?
However, it seems that, to the way of thinking of the Administrator, the Club should be relocated to somewhere outside of the city boundaries (nothing concrete there - no pun - just talk of eventually building some kind of venue after years of a nomadic existence in Staffordshire or some such unrelated county). It's not difficult to gauge the reaction of the supporters and (ex-) season-ticket holders to this - I'm sure the internet and general media furore in the area will not have escaped your attention?
I won't ramble on any more, as I'm sure many others will have fully appraised you of their views already. Just to say - to implore - that the Football League, as the ruling body, gives this matter all the time it deserves, and delivers a verdict on the matter which gives Coventry City Football Club a clear way forward, with the backing of people who care deeply about the Club.
Please; don't break our hearts.
Many thanks for your time.
Yours Sincerely

SISU don't intend to return to Coventry. Granted, they're not going to move us 56 miles away.
They have to provide a viable plan to return us to the Coventry area and as we all know, Fisher is an excellent theorist but when that plan is actioned... well, look at where we are!!
The FL aren't going to stand in their way. They were reluctant to come out and clearly state which company was in possession of the golden share. It took months. Fail to see how they are going to change and now stand in SISU's way.
They don't have the funds, nor appetite, for a long protracted court case. Their main objective is to retain 72 clubs in the league.

Don't they have to return us to Coventry itself? The Don Valley Stadium was only 1 mile from Rotherham town centre but the FL still stipulated they had to return.
