All the players and staff called into a meeting at 5:00pm.

The whisper is potential administration.

Doesn't sound good at all.

Hopefully it is merely speculation.

Pause • Switch to Standard View Coventry City in trouble?

Yeah thats a shame .

Used to like their great escapes from relegation. Finally went down and that was the end of them it seems.

Its been looming for around 12 months now. The club is in a desperate state and will always struggle to attract owners due to them not owning their biggest asset ie : the stadium.

I personally feel it was always gonna fall apart once they got relegated. Its not a football city really and they have always been the black sheep of midlands clubs, by this I mean no real support like Birmingham,Wolves,WBA who have all been up and down over the years.

Can only see them struggling big time again next season in league 1 and crowds will be around the 8000 mark in a nice new stadium.

Sad times

I used to watch them a lot when
I lived in the Midlands, they
lasted an incredible 34 years
in the top tier, and I believe
they are now the longast serving
Championship, into their 11th year
I think.

Yes you are correct kenilworth. I used to like going to Highfield Road, full of nearby scum in Hillfields but was a good old school stadium surrounded by housing
