Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher has told a fans group the club has to continue selling players to make ends meet, even though the financial position has improved
The club has published the minutes of its latest meeting, external with the supporters consultative group, at which Fisher revealed the club's operating loss before player sales has fallen from £3.8m to £1.7m this year.
He added the club needed to own its stadium and said there were credible plans to move to Coventry Rugby club's Butts Park Arena, but these were on hold due to what he called a "political embargo".
He said this was in place from Coventry City Council while the club's owners Sisu continued with legal action against the authority.
