Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group serves Coventry City FC eviction notice

Club has no continuing rights after refusing to sign new tenancy agreement, says stadium's owner

Mike Ashley, the billionaire owner of Sports Direct and House of Fraser, has served Coventry City with an eviction notice ordering the Championship football club to leave its home stadium.

Frasers Group, which is majority owned by Ashley and took over the stadium last month, on Monday said the Blues had no continuing rights to use the ground after the club refused to sign a new tenancy agreement it claimed was less favourable".
