🚨 STATEMENT RELEASED: EFL Sanctions Coventry City Once Again 🪐✊

The English Football League (EFL) has announced fresh sanctions against Coventry City, issuing a firm statement this morning ahead of the weekend’s Championship fixtures.

According to the governing body, the new measures come in response to repeated crowd behaviour concerns. The EFL has made it clear that any Championship club found guilty of allowing “riot banners” or inciting unrest inside stadiums will face immediate fines and, in the most serious cases, automatic relegation.

Coventry City, who have already been warned earlier this season, have now been sanctioned once again after incidents involving banners and fan protests at recent matches.

“We are drawing a clear line: the use of riot banners or displays that encourage disorder will not be tolerated. Clubs are responsible for ensuring that their supporters uphold the values of the game. Continued breaches will result in the severest of penalties, including relegation,” the EFL said in its statement.

The announcement has divided opinion across the football community. Many believe the EFL is right to clamp down on behaviour that could escalate into violence, while others argue that the new sanctions are too harsh and risk punishing clubs for the actions of a minority of fans.

Coventry City are yet to issue an official response, but the timing of the sanction — just days before a vital Championship fixture — has already stirred frustration among supporters.

With the EFL’s zero-tolerance stance now firmly in place, all Championship clubs will be under intense scrutiny for the remainder of the season.
