Look at the analysis below. It tells me that Coventry has increasingly become a managerial graveyard. Managers with promotion-winning pedigree and good records at the top level have been transformed into sacked wrecks who have (with the exception of Nilsson in Sweden) failed to have any notable success at any other club.
What have we done to ruin all these managers?
Nilsson
Before: player. After: Swedish league management
McAllister
Before: player. After: Less than 12 months at Leeds - sacked. Villa assistant. Currently unemployed
Black
Before: coach. After: coach, two short caretaker stints at Blues and Sunderland. Currently assistant to Steve Kean at Blackburn.
Reid
Before: Man City, Sunderland, Leeds. After: Thailand, Stoke assistant, Plymouth. Currently a pundit after being sacked by Plymouth this season whilst bottom of the 92.
Adams
Before: Fulham, Brentford (both P/M), Brighton, Leicster. After: Brighton, Port Vale, Sheffield Utd, Vale again (current)
Dowie
Before: Oldham, Palace, Charlton. After: QPR, Newcastle assistant, Hull (temp contract). Currently unemployed.
Coleman
Before: Fulham, Real Sociedad. After: Larissa, Wales (current, after being appointed as the only credible candidate)
Boothroyd
Before: Watford, Colchester. After: Northampton (current - right now bottom of the 92)
