An extraordinary general meeting to discuss Coventry City's future has been postponed, with the club in "initial discussions" with Wasps over extending their stay at the Ricoh Arena.

The English Football League meeting has been put back until 29 May because City have made "significant progress".

Coventry have also signed an agreement to groundshare at an "alternative venue", but have not confirmed where.

Five clubs offered them a ground share and my guess is they will eventually stay at the Ricoh till a new ground is built.

Better stay at Ricoh i am missing that one .85 out of the current 92 with Rotherham

Still think there was an issue regarding fixture scheduling with us having to be able to guarantee that Eagles games would not clash.

Theres an issue around 'primacy of tenure'. Which is why it was a problem us sharing with the rugby. Are we really saying Cov should fold due to a temporary ground problem?

[WanChaiMiller]

This is un****ing believable by EFL

Good on them. I dont want to see clubs fold and fixtures not fulfilled.

PFA could well step in and loan the money again.
Ratification of Bassinis takeover is taking some time to sort out.

EFL statement on Bolton v Brentford game


Following the failure of Bolton Wanderers to provide formal confirmation of its ability to meet its obligation to fulfil its Championship fixture against Brentford FC on Saturday (27 April), the game will not go ahead as planned.

Earlier on Friday, the playing staff at the Club issued a collective statement confirming that they had decided not to fulfil the remaining fixtures of the season unless they received monies owed to them.

As a result of these disappointing developments, the League has been forced to suspend Saturday’s fixture and under EFL Regulations, the Club is now deemed to be guilty of misconduct and will be referred to an Independent Disciplinary Commission.

The EFL Board will now consider the matter of determining whether the fixture will be played or not.

No further comment will be made at this time.

No sympathy with efl at all they dug themselves into this problem by letting Bolton get away with this for 3 seasons
