Don't think you can really blame the Football League for it...
Provided that SISU ticked all the boxes on all the regulations that were previously stated (and presumably they have), there pretty isn't that much they could do to stop it.
Even if SISU have no real intent to build a new ground in the next few years, provided they show plans e.t.c and proof, then i guess they would have to allow it.
Bullshit. It's completely spineless on their part and they have failed resoundingly the football fans whose interests they are supposed to protect.
Just read the article on the CCFC site and a few things stood out for me. First, no mention of a plan for a new stadium, just that they couldn't agree with ACL over the Ricoh. They want Otium to get back to negotiating with ACL but don't seem to hold out much hope for that if they've agreed for an "initial period" of 3 years.
The 'it's with deep regret' start to the quote suggests to me that perhaps the FL didn't really want to agree to it but we're told by Otium 'agree to it or else we'll either take you to court or liquidate the club'.
I think it was either this or expelled from competitions, so they have probably acted in the best way they could.

What is the Ricoh now then? I mean, I get they've got facilities that are used year round and the like, but there's now an additional large expanse of nothingness with no current use.
They don't want to be seen as being for this kind of thing after MK Dons.
Or it was refuse the groundshare on the basis that the Ricoh is there and ready to use. They are complicit in this as far as I am concerned.
But they have been informed it isn't viable and have been convinced by Otium (and probably to some aspect the Administrator) that this isn't possible and this will be surely because the last deal wasn't viable..
Shameful decision.
Under SISU 's management CCFC have plummeted to their lowest point in most of our living memories.
The sad thing is, there is further to go.
The FL have condoned SISU's decision to take CCFC away from Coventry-well i say shame on them
Time to 'pull together' and get behind the TEAM, wherever they play! PUSB

And where were you and all the others that are bleating now? Where were you before The Football League wankers made their decision whe we could have made a difference? Taking the piss, now you want to protest now its been confirmed mimimum of three years for fucks sake. Are you laughing now?:thinking about:Some already tried this. And managed the 'looking stupid' part
I agree though. Think the previously mentioned form of protest (all gather at the Ricoh on the date of our first 'home' game') should now be put in place!
How isn't it viable? What on Earth about this lunatic idea is more financially lucrative than staying at the Ricoh under the last offered terms?

I possibly don't know but surely if ACL's offer was so fantastic then SISU would have grabbed it with both hands no?
SISU want nothing less than ACL's extinction. If you do even a little basic maths you see that staying at the Ricoh is infinitely better for the club bank account.

So you still believe that this is a starving tactic from SISU, well if it is do you think they have taken into account CCC? Surely if ACL balls up CCC will run the Arena themselves?
Understandably we are all upset and frustrated regarding this situation, but I think this whole debacle shows no three of these wretched parties should be trusted, ACL, CCC, SISU..
