0% villa -Coventry city on the brink?

Local radio reporting that Coventry have been placed under a transfer embargo and ray ranson has resigned as chairman- with huge unpaid debts they are rumoured to be on the brink of
administration.

Not good news for their fans, who are just football fans like us after all, and not good news for any business owed money for services provided to the club, could be people laid off and small firms going under because of this.
So not really good news at all unless your idea of good news is the misery of others who don't really deserve it.

Good news at the end of a shit week.
Not such good news if you happen to be a creditor - football clubs going tits-up don't give me a thrill.

Terrible news. Like Dave has said not good for the fans. Bad news for football. My other half's family from Coventry, they will be gutted.

I don't see this as being good news. They are another Midlands football club, and we need them to survive and flourish. I even want all of Midlands teams in the PL to stay up, because inevitably the world balances itself, and we'll be tops again. Plus they offer us endless hours of entertainment especially the 'draggers.

Football eating itself at the lower end is never good, because the game would be a lot poorer without those teams.

Point taken lads and modified although I'm sure if we go down they will celebrate our demise.

Fuck 'em.
They hate us with a passion.

And please don't give me any more of this H & V 'we're all fans together' idealistic bullshit.

Thank you wiki!  I have had many years abuse from their fans as they hate us with a passion that you wouldn't believe unless you lived in the city.

For some reason villa and our fans are referred to as the scum .

I hate modern football but I am finding it hard to get emotional about Coventry.

This is my internet persona  speaking. In reality, I might be dismayed and concerned by these events. Then again, I might well be cracking open the bubbly at the demise of the Felcher bastards. who knows?

Well done, sorry to be a misery, and I'm sure your post was tongue in cheek but I don't like to see any football club go under.
I celebrated their relegation, as they will ours if it happens, but I don't want clubs going into administration, too many decent people suffer as a result.

As an aside, Plymouth are on the brink of not only administration, but possible extinction.
