Yes I am sure you are right - we were really cash strapped but he would have known that so why say all that bollocks?

I went to an pre-season game at Brentford one Saturday around that time - pretty sure he didn’t play because he was talking to Celtic or he had just signed for them. I remember all that bull about loving the club too, until more money came along...

Mark Hateley for me. Went to Portsmouth for a paltry fee set by tribunal and after 1 season in a lower division gets sold to AC Milan for £1m. Still feel resentful about it now!

Admire your optimism but I think we would struggle to fill the ground if tickets were only £5. The people of Coventry only seem to turn out if there is a chance of getting a Wembley ticket or we are playing a top PL team.

Well past his sell by date. No thanks.

He met Atkinson and was going to sign until Big Ron told him that he’d never actually seen him play. Lennon chose to sign for Leicester as O’Neill had, several times.

1st time I went to Millmoor was in LC in 86-7 (iirc we signed Emerson shortly after) and I thought it was a tidy ground. Went back 1st time round in Championship and it was looking very tired. I would also add The Vetch Field, Ashton Gate (before re-development) and Newport’s current ground to...

To be honest I saw him quite a lot in his time with us and it was obvious he was class but In my opinion Brian Borrows and Danny Thomas were bigger legends for us. Roland was undoubtedly a star at Sheffield Wednesday not so sure about with us.... I suppose each of us has our own definition of...

Totally agree with you G. I was at Luton the night he refused to play and although a bit annoyed on the night I fully understand his reasons. CCFC were looking to sell him to highest bidder not so long after signing that new contract - for all those bleating on about loyalty it works both ways.

The moment when some bright spark came up with the idea of Arena 2000.

Couldn’t agree more SA. I was @ Luton the night he didn’t want to play - I was annoyed that evening especially as we lost however I don’t hold it against him. Richardson was hawking him around to clubs such as Blackburn for as much as he could get- if I was Dion I would have done the same thing...

I was one of the few who went to Stoke on the Friday evening the week before this fame, We were all but down at that stage. They were already relegated and there were only 6 or 7k there. Stuart Pearce scored for us from a penalty and Ian Painter missed his penalty for them. 2nd of the 3 games...

Don’t disagree with you on the away support- however our home support is often shocking quite frankly (and has been for decades). I go to as many home games as I can (including @ SA) given family and work commitments and the fact that I now live 70 odd miles from Coventry. Where are the...

RSB - I’m with you on this. I think our away support over the last 4 or 4 years has at times been incredible. I travelled away regularly during the late 70s and through the early/mid 80s and our support was often embarrassing. Sure we could turn out for big games if there was a whiff of relative...

I first starting watching us regularly in 77/78 with my best mate from school and his dad, travelling all over the country following the Sky Blues. My mate is on the coaching staff at Leicester (1st team) and has been since 1996. He’s a Leicester fan now which is understandable I suppose but...

Re legend and coaching role - you are kidding, right?

I thought he was at talking about Max. If it’s Davis then no thanks.

Good luck to him for the future. I hope he finds a decent club and can progress more than he did here. Yet another player who has endured abuse from some of our supporters, even when he wasn’t playing, which I just don’t understand.

I remember it too - some of JH’s decisions as Chairman we’re certainly questionable.

Yes I remember the 1st game more clearly and we were lucky - I think they believed they were going to beat us in the replay.
