Surely when people would say that "best football a Coventry team has ever played" they were referring to his first match in charge which was against burnley. I distinctly remember people say it at the time.

Interesting wording by the club, seems to suggest that it's something more serious than not liking training.
You'll probably get in the weeks leading up to the JR "losing side should respect JR decision" from both sides.
Then when one side loses the JR they'll appeal it.
