According to a tweet from the Coventry Telegraph's Les Reid, Coventry City Council and Arena Coventry Limited are looking for a sports franchise to play at the Ricoh Arena.
Mr Reid tweeted: "Inside sources tell me council/ACL definitely been seeking "sports francise" for Ricoh Arena."
Covsupport News Service also understands that plans to attract a team playing another sport have been on the drawing board for a while but now it is clear that Coventry City FC, whilst Tim Fisher and Joy Seppala are ruining the club (sic), won't be returning, plans to find another team to use the 32,000 capacity stadium have come off the backburner to a more forward position.
