"The implications with that (are effective) immediately, with the FA Youth Cup game that was scheduled to take place at the stadium on Saturday with Southampton. That was moved to Leamington's ground.

"Club officials have been informed that they have to return their keys, their access cards. They've also been given what's been called a reasonable amount of time to remove property owned by the Sky Blues."

Even if he postponed a couple of games or got Cov evicted, I reckon the FA would still give him the ok on the fit and proper person test.
Seems even murderers and scam artists can pass it.
But then again, a few quid buys you a World Cup tournament.
