i'm confused. i read a week or two ago the council where considering a bid and were, regardless of that, providing the club with the Rioch rent free for 3 years. or something. even if on paper the administrator thought another bidder was better (leave aside obvious shenanigans), why would any owner not take up that offer

 

[BuddyBoy]

Done.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Done. Feel sorry for Coventry fans and this whole mess. Hopefully this Petition will make the FA stand up and take notice of their current plight.

Done - I live just North of Coventry and the Ricoh is 5 minutes from where I live. I know a few Cov fans and they are hurting. They are very uncertain of their future and they need help from the football community, the same way the football community helped us.

Done, and it looks like the Football League has responded to the petition already

I sign very, very few petitions but this is one that I sign with no hesitation.

This is the part I struggle with.

1. Take over a company with huge debts, at a good price.
2. Put it into administration, wiping out a massive % of said debts.
3. Appoint your own pet administrator, who then confers preferred bidder status to your 'new company' under a different name, ignoring all other bids.
4. Buy back company and all its assets, completely debt free, for peanuts.

How the HELL can that be legal? It makes no sense at all.

If fraud could be proved, and anyone is interested in making a case, then of course it would be ilegal. Anyone doing this would probably be wise not to have HMRC as a creditor I would think.

Signed yesterday, good luck to them.
