Just suppose that as this saga unfolds, Joy decides to use the threat of winding up or liquidating the football club (which she may or may not have threatened on the eve of the season to the Football League). Would it be a credible threat, and how much should we fear it?
Could someone who knows a bit about these things please answer the following questions :-
If the club was liquidated, would anyone else have the opportunity to pick up the pieces and carry on playing in the Football League?
If we were obliged to start again “at the bottom”, presumably the FA would have decide where to put us - which league might that be?
How would the Golden Share be reallocated – by promoting an extra team from somewhere else into the League, or by seeking a “local replacement” for Coventry City?
If CCFC technically had to start up as a new company with a slightly different name (Coventry City 2013?), would we lose our claim to the history of the Club? And why would anybody care – the history will always belong to the fans and the city, regardless of anything written on Football League headed notepaper. I see that on Glasgow Rangers’ website, they list the whole proud history of the club, despite having been reinvented last year. Wimbledon AFC refer to their predecessors’ FA Cup win, whilst MK Dons conveniently seem to have forgotten to have a history page
