I hardly think him playing against a makeshift Milan defense is a marker of how well he'll do in England.

Liverpool's kit supplier, Warrior Sports, has fallen foul of the club's new guidelines on unacceptable language by telling customers to "man up" on its website.

"According to a good Coventry journo on Twitter, the liquidation appears to mean they'll have a 15 points deduction, but will stay in the League. They will have to play their matches in Northampton as discussed before too. Would it be better to start again in non-league, remaining in Coventry?"

It's an absolute disgrace, I've never seen anything like it. Essentially the playing side of the club is decimated, and this transfer embargo will now last months.
In terms of the fans Sisu have stopped short of saying that the club doesn't need fans. That's a new one. The club is essentially dead playing in Northampton.
Sisu are complete experts in every kind of legal scam, loophole and procedure, that is how they make their money. The administrators and the Football League both came up against them and they were completely bewildered and intimidated, backing down to their demands. They have made the issue so complex very few even understand it.
Their end game is that they have lost £50m+ on this and have no way of generating money, so they want a share of the Ricoh Arena. The current owners would rather die than give them this, as would any sane person. So they are going down every route and bully tactic to try to achieve this, and fair play to ACL, The Higgs Trust and Coventry City Council (current owners), they have stood firm. ACL have thrown away £500,000 which they badly needed to reject the CVA, and in the end you'll still see Sisu with their slimy hands on some portion of 'the club' and CCFC playing in Northampton.
ACL are concurrently taking legal action against both the Football League and Northampton Town. The former for not taking the interests of CCFC fans into account, the absolute most important thing, and the latter for 'inducing' CCFC to play in Northampton. This is obviously a scare tactic to force the FL and NTFC into a rethink.

Because the issue is so complex and ongoing the Northampton arrangement will stick for now, so the team and fans are no better off short term.
CCFC have sold a whole 300 (lol) season tickets to play in Northampton, so it's obvious Sisu are losing even more millions. They should have sold up on the two occasions they had offers to buy the club, but they have taken this personally and are just intent on trying to own the stadium.
The whole issue stemmed from the rent of £1m p/a, which obviously was too high for League 1. So ACL reduced it to £400,000 plus taking of half of the match day income. Good offer? Sisu agreed (outwardly), but still refused it because of some paperwork.
The latest offer from ACL was £40,000 to £100,000 p/a dependent on which division the club is in (League 2 to Championship). Extremely good offer, almost a gimme, Sisu refused it. They have no interest in doing the sensible thing.
There's absolutely no chance of me going to watch a 'home' game in Northampton.
