If this is true (and it may well be) then that makes a mockery of the whole ownership of any football club.
I would like them to stay in business but rules are rules.
Something that the Football authorities in this country need to do something about certainly. |

I wouldnt go to Coventry again if they dont get kicked out of the league, Not being funny but effectively wipe off their debts start again. Absolute mockery to Chester, Rangers, Halifax, Aldershot if they just get to "carry on" as normal. Regardless which company gets liquidated, More harsher punishment, FFS Leeds and Luton got close to 30 point deductions and never even went into Liquidation. They MUST be kicked out!

Creepy seem to think their game will still go ahead. http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/10588973.Crawley_game_to_go_ahead_despite_Sky_Blues_being_liquidated/ Crawley's opening game in League One against Coventry City at Broadfield Stadium tomorrow should go ahead despite the Sky Blues going into liquidation this morning.
Coventry had a creditors' meeting this morning where it was hoped a CVA agreement would be signed to bring the club out of administration.
The meeting lasted just ten minutes after Arena Coventry Limited, who own the Ricoh Arena, rejected a £590,000 offer from Coventry City FC Ltd to settle their outstanding debts.
That forced the company that owns Coventry into liquidation although it is understood the football club will continue to operate, although they may be hit with a 15-point deduction. |

The Sunderland fans are fucking loving this, almost as much as the Pox fans would if we were in the same position.
Not entirely sure why the Mackems hate them so much.

Ah, I think I know this as I read about it this week. Basically one season, Coventry and Everton (I think it was) played out a draw knowing that a draw was good enough to relegate Sunderland, who had already lost their match earlier that day (not sure why the Cov match finished later). I think the match was delayed 20 minutes and so the final 20 minutes of the match the Coventry and Everton players basically did nada for the remainder of the game. |

Think you'll find it was due to the Coventry v Bristol City game back in 1977. Coventry, Bristol City and Sunderlad were all involved in a relegation battle, Sunderland were playing Everton on the same day, the Coventry game kicked off 15 minutes late. Towards the end news came through that Sunderland had lost, with the Coventry v Bristol City score at 2-2 both teams would be safe. The last 15 minutes were a farce as neither wanted to score to comprimise their position |

Coventry is a shithole. A non-league team would suit them. I guess I get the last laugh after working with a Cov fan for a year or so who called us a lower league team when we were storming L2  |

Someone has already pointed that out. Portsmouth was the wrong season. doh. I just noticed that every single season since 06/07 at least one team in our division has had a point deduction. How the fuck have we managed to avoid that? |
