8watp8 254 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 clubs will continue to fall and fifa will do sweet fuck all but help the rich clubs get richer. also notice how the bbc headline it not with coventry to be liquidated but the plc i.e the company. Emphasising yet again that company and club are different altogether which makes even more of a mockery of football journalism in this country Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone Burgh 1,658 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 They haven't gone into liquidation, it's just one company. They will get a points deduction and that's all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Looks like they will get their "Golden Share" transferred for a measly 15 point penalty.Only in Scotland you get demoted three leagues! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 They haven't gone into liquidation, it's just one company. They will get a points deduction and that's all.The company that holds their FL and FA membership share is about to enter liquidation. That share will have to be transferred to a new company.Essentially identical to us.No Europe for them for three seasons (Not really a factor)Sanctions for transferring the membership share to a new company? probably a 15 point deduction rather than a three tier relegation that we got.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 All the best to them, hope they pull through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So if they newco will they be voted out of the league? Will the players TUPE over?The players are supposedly contracted to a separate company.They will need to transfer their membership shares to a new company but will definitely not be voted out of their league, there will be a meeting of the FL board to determine sanctions (probably 15 points) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick1200 2,864 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Just watched the itv news here in England. What a difference their report of liquidation was compared to the media in Scotland. They said coventry's parent company has been liquidated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 we neveer got a 3 tier relegationYeah, that was badly worded. We did get refused a league membership transfer, where they have been given one within hours of the decision to liquidate the old company. For a measley 10 points. Remember the uproar from various quarters when it was suggested we should get a 10 point deduction for staying in the SPL? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
