"Coventry City can confirm that Neville Hadsley, the Editor of ‘GMK Online’, has been written to in a legal capacity regarding the publication of a letter in the forum section of the website.
The author of this letter has since admitted that this contained a word which was intended as reference to persons of a dishonest disposition. Publication of this is a gross libel against the Chairman, Board and Senior Managers of Coventry City, most of whom have an established status in public life and whose honesty and status is and must be unimpeachable.
The Club has requested a total retraction of such allegations published on the fanzine plus an irrevocable undertaking not to repeat any such statements
The letter to Mr Hadsley also stated that should this happen within a seven day period, no legal proceedings will be taken. However, if this is not forthcoming, proceedings will be issued forthwith."
