So, with the impending demise of Coventry City (Holdings) the 'club' that is Coventry City dies a death...
Coventry City is dead, long live Otium Entertainment Ltd (trading as Coventry City Football Club)!
What this shows, though, is that Otium have stolen a march, they themselves have become a phoenix club.
It's something to bear in mind if Otium go belly up, just what is Coventry City? And what, arguably, it shows, is it's not the company in the slightest, it's the essence behind it. Now the onus is on Otium to prove itself worthy of Coventry City Football Club in time. If it doesn't and vanishes, the very existence of Otium right here, right now shows that Coventry City will not die; whenever and however SISU move on, the club will stay alive. Strange as it may seem, the passing of Coventry City (Holdings) with barely a word as to its meaning and significance as the club probably gives us more hope for a future post SISU than anything before. It shows the hold on the club is not in the physical entity itself. It may simpplify the corporate structure as of now, but long term it probably weakens their position as they set the precedent for a post SISU future themselves.
But there can be only one.
