Kits and merchandise is an interesting one in terms of your revenue streams for next year. Not only is the entitlement to the golden share in dispute but this probably means there has to be some debate about who owns the IPR to the Coventry City FC name. The default legal position on IPR is that...

Not how I read it. He's said it is deputed and further investigations are under way. He has said certain historical records don't bare out holdings claim to it and has said the league has discretionary powers to allow it to be transferred. But that's all he's said.

The word 'targeting' makes it sound a bit sinister, perhaps campaigning might be a better word. No-one working for a company should be targeted or harassed, nor should and company or it's officers be subject to any abuse; however lots of individuals writing to a company to say that they have...

If the registrations are in Ltd that helps massively as it at least means you have a team. Might just be guilty of breaching third party ownership rules then which should hopefully just mean a hefty fine.

Biggest concern at the moment is that as the league says Ltd have the right to play but contracts are with Holdings means regardless of what's going on with your current players etc you don't have a team at all and you don't have a ground at all as they won't use the Ricoh even though ACL will...

Yep, probably all contracts could be void in that case and they could probably all sue Holdings.

The scenario is possible, just no-one really knows how likely until all the facts are known. If the golden share is ultimately determined as being in Ltd and if the player contracts are with holdings, there's still the question of is their registration with the league/FA with Ltd or Holdings...

If it helps, in theory yes.:D ... but there would still only be one club as such i.e the one with the right to play in the football league, there would just be two companies, which we already know there is but the relationship between them and the assets within them is still unclear at the moment.

At least you would have a way forward for the future, but might get some hefty damage for the FL if you've fielded ineligible players at any point over the last season or if their registration was deemed o.k but they are deemed to be owned by a third party. Having said all that given the...

Hope the outcome turns out to be for the best for you guys. Problem is I'm not entirely sure what 'the best' would look like.

They obviously hold you guys in very high regard to load the question so obviously, they must think you're all idiots. As suttle as a brick:facepalm:

The rate of sign up seems to have increased the last couple of days. I'd like to think that Saints, Liverpool and Saddlers fans have helped contribute to this as it gives me a bit of faith back in football in these days where it seems to be ruled by money and the media.

Maybe in terms of the petition, but I think the more pressure the FL feel under from more clubs the better. It's one thing the FL condoning something to do with one club, entirely a different thing if they feel they are acting against the entire football fan base or if you want to be more...

Nothing will change the minds of SISU, they will do whatever they want. That's how they operate; however any move needs to be sanctioned and the FA and FL are much more sensitive to public pressure. I'd suggested there needs to be lots of other pressure long with a petition though letter writing...

Besides the quality/value equation it also assumes both the ability and desire to take the club where ever necessary to secure the lowest price. If you are to take this argument you would have to be both willing and able to permanently move the club out of Coventry. Unfortunately Milton...

Appeal placed on Saddlers forum for you in a way to appeal to both our sympathetic fans and hopefully some of our more cynical lot, we have a few like most clubs:D http://upthesaddlers.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42694&p=1024988#p1024988

There's a long history behind it including using WFC to financially prop up Blues at one stage who were in extreme danger of going bust. Basically there was a plan to get us to ground share with Blues in 1986 which was ultimately stopped by a mass fans movement fighting against it, a number of...

No probs. We might all enjoy a bit a banter between fans of different clubs but underneath that if you are a true football fan there are things that bind us all together and a sense of what's right and justice for other fans is one of them. Any one who's been a Saddler for any length of time...

Have signed myself and have rounded up a number of Saddlers to sign for you as well.
