I'd welcome that rather than see this charade continue.
A Phoenix club would start with a clean bill of health and, armed with the lessons of this very public scandal, be in a better position to not repeat the same mistakes.
I think it would be more likely that the league would award the golden share to holdings on a temporary basis (provided they have a ground to play at) as their primary concern is for the club to complete its fixtures.
In the timescales we're looking at there is no way a Phoenix club would be ready in time for the 2013/14 season.

There is an option.
Haskell buys ACL plus share of Ricoh
Haskell buys Nuneaton Town
Haskell rebrands Nuneaton Town to another name which includes the wording Sky Blues or Coventry in its title.
Haskell develops Nuneatons ground to accomodate the Academy/Training etc
Youth team and under 21 fixtures played at Nuneaton while first team plays at Ricoh.
Not sure of Nuneatons league status, but believe they are highest placed non league team in the area, so league status not too far away.
He would not even have to bother buying CCFC Limited to do this. Its worth fcuk all anyway, same as SBS&L, Holdings, Avro all of which is a catastrophic case of insolvency(allegedly)

In the event of Optium failing fit and proper test(unlikely put still possible).
Will we be able to fulfill next seasons fixtures?
CCFC Limited would remain in administration
Appleton would have to find another buyer
Appleton would run Limited until a buyer is found
The GS would be held by the league until a buyer is found who passes fit and proper.
CCFC Limited has no players
FL are not due to make a decision for another 4 weeks
Holdings(not in admin) hold player registrations but no GS
So neither Limited or Holdings would be able to fulfill next seasons fixtures. Simply not enough time to sort all this out. Looks to me like the choice is Optium or no CCFC.
Would people stop suggesting buying Nuneaton and moving them to Coventry. If you want to buy a new club from another town and move them why not buy one further up the league system? Why would that be any different from buying Nuneaton. You CANNOT just steal someone else's team.
You can't steal a team, but you can move a team from a stadium built to house them & attempt to bankrupt a council/charity owned business..
Nice moral stance there bud.

What still bugs me currently is that CCFC Ltd which allegedly houses the Football League's Golden Share is still Administration which means Appleton should be running the business and putting us in the Ricoh Arena for the first game of the season and negotiating a better deal for when we come out of Admin, but seemingly this is not on Paul Appleton's list of priorities and Tim Fisher continues to speak as if he the Master of it all.
Regarding the Fit and Proper test it's hard to conclude whether Otium will be handed the Golden Share or not. For the good of the Football Club and the playing side of the club it would be ideal if Otium were successful and were allocated the Golden Share at this time, if the FL reject Otium this could go on for months by which time, now new investment on the playing side due to Admin, unhappy bunch of players that some have been told that there futures lie away from the club and continued uncertanties..
Why do people keep coming up with this Nuneaton Town idea. They are Nuneaton and we are Coventry, so why?
A Phoenix club needs to be a brand new Coventry club, supporter owned. Anything else and we are back on the treadmill that lead us to the ridiculous position we find ourselves in now.

why would giving SISU the golden share be good for the club they had it and f*****d up
I can't see how Appleton can do it....Ltd is non-trading and has no income, no rights to the name, no rights to sell tickets and no players.....
For the exact same reason he could do it for the final 3 matches of last Season ,the share is still with LTD until Otium are approved and both entities unified.:thinking about:

If SISU do get allocated the Golden Share this means we can exit Administration and start to rebuild a weak 1st Team Squad and try to push for something this season. If the Football League decide the Football League aren't Fit and Proper then we go through this again and at this point I don't like the sound of it..
