Often held up as a rubbish football manager for Coventry, but often forgotten we started the season OK until he had Davenport sold from under him... and the cash to buy a replacement (Mackay) vanish before a deal could be made.

So... rubbish CCFC manager, or just another in the long line of hapless victims to try to fight back the tide?

Also one of the few in recent years to have the decency to resign. All the others held out to get their contractual payout.

Are you getting confused with Les REED who managed Charlton for 41 days in 2006?

Nope, but I do recognise the banana peel there that the City keep slipping on over the years.

Reid was not the best....but there is a recurring theme. Coventry City never seem to have it right behind the scenes. The way the club is organised and structured has never seemed professional. It has been evident in contracts and clauses, the transition from youth development to professional, ticket office, club shop, marketing, links with the community. While we are on the last one it is important to promote what you are doing in the community.

SISU are woeful at all these things, but in all honesty we have never been very good at them. That is why we never capitalised on thirty unbroken years at top level. We have always been geared to survive rather than prosper.

Unfortunately that approach has manifested itself into many fans heads that 30 odd years at the bottom of Div 1/Prem was good.

The fact we never moved the club on to the next level is unacceptable.
