[Sky Blue Pete]

Thank you for contacting the IFO to express your concerns about your Club, Coventry City. Matters of club ownership do not fall within the IFO Remit. The choice of the preferred bidder is for the Administrator to decide and is a matter of company law, outside football's jurisdiction. The terms for the readmission of the club back into the Football League are for the League to determine in line with its insolvency policy. You will be aware that the League Board has reluctantly accepted the proposal to play home fixtures in Northampton. I appreciate that this is far from satisfactory and I join with the League and the supporters in the hope that this may be a temporary solution and before long the club will again be playing in its home city.
I have been in touch with the Football League and have been assured that replies will be sent to all supporters who registered their concerns with the governing body. My remit does not allow me to take any further action.
