If you listened to Sports Lounge today, you will have heard our major announcement. Big Ron Atkinson will be on the show on Thursday April 16th! Huge moment for me personally, and the show. But, as usual, you're more than welcome to get involved by sending in your questions for Ron. Whether its about his time at City, his 5 years at Manchester United, his playing career, anything you can think of, leave a reply and we'll pick the best ones to ask the big man himself. We also have 2 tickets to give away to 'An Evening With Ron Atkinson' @ Christ The King on April 10th! For a chance to win them, tune into Sports Lounge on 98.6 Hillz FM next Thursday 10am-12 noon for details of our special competition

Prior to managing Coventry City, you were successful at all of your clubs, why do you think that you failed at Coventry City considering that we had never spent so much on players?

The spending during the Atkinson and Strachan eras is ultimately what has lead to the club's current financial plight and fall down the leagues. How aware were you of the perilous financial decisions being taken?

Whenever you said "Regis Genaux", did you ever sing it, "Regis Genoux, is it true, yeah, yeah, yeah", to the tune of Metal Guru by T-Rex, or was that just me?

Liam Daish, Eoin Jess, John Salako, Paul Telfer - such poor players who each cost over a million, did you ever waste as much money in your personal life

I used to do Big Ron's accounts although I never got to meet him. His company was called CC39 because apparently he thought he was a Champagne Charlie and he was born in 1939.

Anyway here's another question for you Liam: "Ron - you're not very tall so why do they call you Big Ron? Were you longer in the shower than Dion Dublin?"

IMO Atkinson was one of the worst managers the club has had in my 55 years following the club, given the money he was provided with and wasted. I believe he sowed many of the seeds of the club`s later financial troubles.
Contrary to an earlier post he did not have unbroken success before joining City. He came to us after a huge winless run at Villa and I should think they were as glad to see the back of him as I was when he left City.

I will donate £10 to a charity of your choice if you ask him on air "Did you smash it?", then say "of course he smashed it, you could go round there any night of the week and see big ron hanging out the back of it".
