Coventry City liquidated this morning

Sad day, feel for their fans

[aaron1867]

Not saying you are wrong but where are the sources for further points deductions

they were deducted 10 points in 2012-13 for going into administration

Is it certain they face more?

links and proof please

From what I hear they are currently in admin and as soon as they come out they will face a deduction & this is from what their fans say. I think it's a similar case to Pomey last season where as soon as everything has cleared that is when the deductions will hit, but I do not know how many points it will be, some have said 30, but I can't see it personally, think it will be 10. But what is more interesting is that they are down to the bare bones squad wise, apparently numerous youth players in the squad regular and where is the money coming from throughout the season when they have only sold 210 season at Sixfields?

isher has said no chance SISU will agree to the ammendments ACL want for them to sign the CVA tomorrow.

Won't be good news for the fans tomorrow, except the club coming out of admin without an agreed CVA which will incur anything from 15 to 30 point deduction. - from a coventry fan

PS - Apparently been bad news on Coventry as I type this....

PPS - I am no good wit geography, especially Midlands stuff, but was there better options for Coventry rather than Northampton? Birmingham, Leicester, Wolves, Nottingham?

Northampton is 30 miles away

While Leicester and Birmingham are closer, you've got to get the right deal with the home club for rent of stadium etc

Northampton want them, much cheaper

anyway, looks like it its moot now

Cov now 2/1 best for relegation.

[TightEnd]

Yep

the chatter is the FL can transfer the share to a new co, deduct them 15 points and rubber stamp the move to Northampton (but I am not sure we really know yet)

so 4/1 was clearly on the right lines

[aaron1867]

The whole move to Northampton can not work, I just don't understand it & feel so sorry for their fans

Coventry City liquidated this morning

Sad day, feel for their fans

Coventry forum is still talking as if this is just a points penalty, but surely liquidation is shut down and cease trading?  i.e. they won't be turning up for tomorrow's fixture or any others?

[aaron1867]

Dare I say it, I still think 2's is a price considering what is going on.

Administrator Paul Appleton is finally expecting an outcome today to the four-month administration of Coventry City Ltd. Will ACL sign CVA agreement for club to exit administration? If not, liquidation could mean 15-point league penalty with season starting tomorrow.

If the Club cannot fulfix it's fixtures & is in liquidation, it will not be relegated, it will just disappear. Different thing entirely, imo.

[DungBeetle]

Yes absolutely.  Will just mean void but one less team to be relegated?

[aaron1867]

Nope, they can still exsist as a football team.

Correct. It would NOT be Relegation.

[DungBeetle]

Seems it is the parent company liquidated, but the company holding all the players contracts still exists.  So maybe they can continue with a 30 point penalty or something like that.

[aaron1867]

They should be out of business in the sense of the word really, but it seems they will continue with a points deduction which was going to be -15, but at this point in time looks like it could be -30
