There is no way they will not change because they are being bullied by SISU because SISU are a very small fish compared to the Football League.

Little fish with the big fish's balls in a vice, nonetheless.

I don't think they even have the Leagues balls in a vice ,I am sure it is just sheer arrogance that is stopping the FL from changing their stance

Had the league said to sisu, play in Coventry or your out the league, then we would have been kicking off at the Ricoh on Saturday.

Or the SISU could have said "Sod-off" & we wouldn't be having this debate because we'd have been expelled from the FL...& have no games to go to "home" or away.

I emailed 4 days ago asking when the Football League expect concrete evidence of a return, in the form of Land Registry entries and Architects Plans etc.?

No answer so far, I'm not holding my breath.

Due to the lack of a CVA agreement, in order to attempt to enable the club to continue to exist, and retain its membership of The Football League this season, the Board​

agreed to transfer the club’s share to Otium Entertainment Group under its ‘exceptional circumstances’ provision.

• What were the “exceptional circumstances” that applied to the situation at Coventry City?

Following the failure of the CVA, the administrator of Coventry City FC Ltd said he would now seek to liquidate the company. This has not yet happened. Coventry City Football Club Ltd remains in administration and can only be liquidated by an order of the High Court.
If disputed, as is the case here, a High Court liquidation order will only be made after a hearing at which the court will inquire into the circumstances that led up to the insolvency. The hearing will include questions about the transfer of assets; such as the “sale” by the administrator of the assets of Coventry City FC Ltd to the Otium Entertainment Group Ltd.

• Why has the Football League transferred an asset of Coventry City Football Club Ltd (the “golden share” in the Football League Ltd) to Otium Entertainment Group Ltd before awaiting the outcome of the legal process?
  
• Why does the Football League refer to a “preferred bidder” when talking about a company heading towards liquidation, bearing in mind that liquidation is about the closure of a company rather than its sale?
• Bearing in mind the implication behind the immediately preceding question, on what basis have the Football League decided to allow Otium Entertainment Group Ltd to be given a “golden share” in the Football League Ltd, to operate a club called Coventry City Football Club?
