Coventry City have claimed that they are "disappointed" by the Football League's decision to swipe 10 points away from the League One outfit.
The Sky Blues have dropped down from 10th to 15th in the table following the deduction, which came into force due to the club's fall into administration.
The former Championship outfit have confirmed that they have begun talks with the Football League over their choice of punishment.
A statement from the club said: "Coventry City Football Club can confirm it will be taking up the invitation from the Football League to discuss its decision to deduct 10 points from the club.
"The club is disappointed by the decision but also understands the Football League's course of action in accordance with its rules and regulations. We welcome the offer for further dialogue which we hope to commence at the earliest available opportunity.
"Coventry City Football Club has the right to appeal the decision within seven days and discussions have already started with regards to the club's next official course of action. The Football League board will further consider their position regarding the club at their next meeting on April 11."
Meanwhile, Coventry have come to an agreement with stadium owners to play their final three home games at the Ricoh Arena.
