An excellent article in today's Times about Romain Vincelot. He sounds like a well rounded person and obviously a good honest pro. Just one small piece about us but very telling:-
"His odyssey took him to Gillingham, then Leyton Orient, and Coventry in 2015. “I felt maybe it is time for Coventry to rise up and we nearly did but there was lack of investment. They [owners SISU] don’t look bothered by the club.”
He was, though, inspired by Joe Cole, the veteran of 56 England appearances who was a playing colleague at Coventry. “He was so humble. I couldn’t believe the guy I was speaking to, a genuine lad, accepting banter, had won so many titles. Joe Cole’s a great example we should all follow.”
From this it looks like everyone in the game knows Coventry City are a basket case. Mowbray's appointment changed the perception but then SISU ripped the carpet from under his feet. No wonder we cannot retain or recruit decent players.
Makes me think maybe SISU's mysterious investors are Villa fans or worse Sunderland fans still harbouring a
grudge after Jimmy Hill got the Bristol game delayed by 15 minutes.
