Mifsud is the obvious one, McSheffrey possibly but he did have a reasonable spell for Birmingham to begin with, I still don't believe he wanted to go anyway, club wanted the cash for him and that was that. Tabb, Never set the world alight post Cov.
Too early to say on Bigi, he's got time on his side and I hope it does work out for him.
Arguably Marlon King, we were't the high point of his career admittedly but he's struggled since he left.
What cup game? I do remember his goal against a highly fancied Reading side, where he ran the length of the pitch before curling it into the top corner from the edge of the box.Ritchie Partridge was ace. Remember the Cup game at HR?
Davenport and Misfud clearly are stand out ones. Ferguson as well.
Side issue but I always thought konjic was useless.
Get where you're coming from, but his 2 goals against man united will forever be etched in my memory. Should have had a hat-trick as well, with that little flick that hit the post.Am I the only one who thought misfud was fast and that was it? The number of shots he had on target were awful! Wilson will become a much better player in my opinion. He would have eventually burnt out at Cov as well.

Agree no awareness of what was around him, often took the wrong option.

The 8-0 win at HR. He was fantastic that night.
Rushden & Diamonds I think it may have been. Didn't Sheffers get a hatrick?
The same Danny Fox, Jay Tabb and Gary McSheffrey that went on to win promotions with their respective clubs and also appear in the Premier League? Yep, I bet they're gutted they left us to miss out on our fun adventure to League One and Northampton. Sleepless nights for the pair of them.
Some of you need to remove your Sky Blue tinted specs I'm afraid.

Yes I am sure they all enjoyed their time warming the bench.
Lets have a look at each players career since leaving City
Jay Tabb
- Left in January 2009 for Reading. In 4 years made 105 appearances including the opportunity testing himself in his career by playing 12 games in the Premier League. During his time at Reading he won a football league championship winners medal. After finding himself struggling for first team football he joined Ipswich on loan last season before completing a permanent deal. A mixture of starts and sub appearances for Ipswich so far this season in a team chasing a play off place.
Vs
Playing for Coventry City in that time on (no doubt) smaller wages and experiencing a relegation to League One, two seasons with -10pts and a move to Northampton at a club with severe off the field issues.
Danny Fox
- Left in July 2009 for Celtic. An unsuccesful half a season with Celtic saw him try his hand at Champions League football before joining Burnley in the second half of the season to play Premier League football. Relegation followed and then a full season starting for Burnley. He then moved to Southampton and was a starting full back for them in their promotion to the Premier League with a runners up medal. Last season he made 20 appearances for Southampton in the Premier League but now finds himself behind Luke Shaw in the pecking order, no doubt picking up a handsome wage.

Gary McSheffrey
Left Coventry in the summer of 2007 and returned in 2010. During this time, McSheffrey won promotion to the Premier League on two occasions with two Championship runners up medals, one season of which he was an integral member of the side. In Birminghams first season back in the Prem, McSheffrey played in 32 of the 38 Premier League games, testing himself at the highest level. When injuries and first team opportunities hampered his last 18 months at Birmingham, he had a couple of loan spells at Forest and Leeds, winning another Runners Up medal, this time for Leeds from League One, before signing back for Coventry on a permanent deal.
Vs
In the same time, McSheffrey could've been on a lower wage bumbling around 17th to 19th every season for a club whose fans either treat him as a god or a war criminal.
You're right, they definitely all should've stayed at Coventry City.

Well done you for looking everything up. Tell me more about how we were relegated to league 1 in 2009!!
Just to clarify I never said any of the above players should not have left. They may have all had "a good year" but none have set the world on fire realistically. At the end of the day they are footballers. I would rather play every game and be loved by the fans, than play a handful and be "1 of those players" that gets forgotten after a short breath. Personal choice.
