Carsley leaves for Sheff Utd

Coventry City can confirm the departure of development coach Lee Carsley who has taken the vacant assistant manager's post with fellow League One side Sheffield United where he links up with current Blades boss and former Everton team mate David Weir.

Well once we get rid of Pressley at least we won't have endless "let's see what Carsley can do" threads.

I'm still not sure what Carsley's job really was. Rioch's in charge of the academy team, Pressley the first team, what actually is the developmental team? Just a fancy name for reserves who don't take part in the reserve league?

I have met Carsley on a couple of occasions and can honestly say he is a top bloke. I wish him all the best.

I for one am sad to see him go, someone who felt something for the club, unlike our mercenary owners, mercenary players (some) and a very mercenary former manager.

SISU weren't likely to pass up the offer of a bit of compensation though were they!!

Good luck Lee! Always seemed a decent bloke

Maybe 6

It's a real shame, but I can't really blame him given our situation. If I worked for SISU and anyone offered me alternative employment, from the Rat Catchers Association to the League of Human Dartboard's, I'd be hard pressed to reject them.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to go in the slightest-they won't be replaced but hey, we're a non operating subsidiary so who needs staff!

Don't think Lee's choice is based on SISU getting compensation for every employee they can.

It's probably the safest and most rewarding career move for him at this time.

people forget in a few weeks our academy will probably be down graded to a centre of excellence so the league grant wont be there to support these jobs

Yes, good luck Lee.

Not a difficult decision....The blades have something resembling a club or a future.......we don't.

And, of course, Sisu will be glad to save the wages......so, it doesn't auger well for the future, does it...?

Sign of things to come........

That's almost certain as the club have to equal the £0.5M the FA grant from their own income.

The non payment trouble for the Higgs Centre facilities were in my view part of preparations to announce a downgrade & blame it on outside events, though it will be a SISU money management decision pure & simple.

sad to see Carso go, but given the current situation, it's no surprise,
i think he'll keep his roots here though,
& if, & when he returns,
i hope he comes back with a workable club operating,

God knows what the people in charge of the club are thinking anymore. We barely resemble a football club but for a scruff of a manager and a handful of professionals.

A Leicester fan couldn't have done a better job of ruining the club if they tried. Not knowing where the senior team will be playing is one thing but the academy as well? Yes there're plenty of possible sites in Coventry they could go but you can bet it's going to result in a relegation of academy status to something which entitles Crewe to pinch our best youngsters.

The owners stopped caring yonks ago, the League are feckless, ACL are only making offers to a business in administration and all of the interested parties have been turned away. To compound matters our national team is in a mediocre state so the only chance I get to enjoy this sport is north of the border.

I'll be happy to have a go. I want a 10-year, £15m per annum contract, payable in one lump sum before the end of Friday. I also want full ownership of the Ricoh, a season ticket at the KP, 50% of SISU's 2011-12 profit and Joy Seppala's head on as large a silver platter as you can find. Additionally, I will be under no obligation to perform any duties for or on behalf of Coventry City Football Club. All my terms are non-negotiable. My first and only act will be to appoint Andy Thorn as manager for life.
