Last updated : 08 August 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City CEO Tim Fisher has issued a statement following the decision of the Football League Board that SISU must pay ACL £471K by August 14th.

Mr Fisher said: In light of today's announcement, Coventry City's Tim Fisher said: "Yesterday, the Board of the Football League made its decision on how much the club should pay to ACL in respect of the dividend payments from Coventry City Football Club’s period in administration.

"We know that ACL saw the payment of this money as a barrier to agreeing terms to get the club back to Coventry. We can today put this obstacle behind us and get down to the business of negotiating a return to Ricoh Arena until we can own our own stadium.

"As we have said all along we want what is best for the long term future success of Coventry City FC. That means our job is to get the club back to Coventry, which is something every single supporter wants to see, whilst ensuring the financial stability of the club."
