Coventry 'Close' to Agreeing Tenancy Extension at Ricoh Arena as Vote on EFL Expulsion Is Postponed

Coventry City, FA Cup winners in 1987 and a founder member of the Premier League, appear to have been offered a stay of execution after an agreement with Wasps Rugby over a one-year extension to their tenancy at the Ricoh Arena is reported to be 'close'.

Coventry's tenancy agreement at the venue is due to expire this summer and the club was faced with an uncertain future after the EFL called an Extraordinary General Meeting to allow all 72 member clubs to vote on whether to expel the Sky Blues from the league.

As things stand, their homeless state would fail to meet EFL criteria for the 2019/20 season.
