As much as he sounded pro Wimbledon:

he was pro wimbledon and pro cov
he brought up our plight every chance he got
he bigged up SP all the time
he educated viewers on how we play now with high pressing and good passing
the first thing he said on the show was how sad he was that both clubs had fallen
he did a stand up job for both clubs because he is a stand up guy.
thank you bobby.

I will never forget his one man pitch invasion at Leicester. Just one occasion of many when he showed how much he cared about us

Never agreed with you so much since your AT posts....in the bottom 3 managers since I started supporting the club in 77 ;-)

But Bobby Gould bought most of the players that won us the FA Cup. He also won the FA Cup when he was manager of Wimbledon. I can assure you there have been many far worse managers at CCFC

He still won the FA Cup when he was a manager. Also being a scout is a big part of being a manager

True but in his case it really was a one off....he achieved nothing else in his managerial career...as he said the other day him and Don Howe went into the Wimbledon dressing room when they took over and said this is what we're going to do...the Wimbledon players turned round to them and said.....no we'll do it our way...and they did. Peter Reid would've won the cup with them that season!

Some of the posts about Gould last night were way to harsh in my opinion. Pre match he spoke well about both clubs and during the match he entertaining and neutral. He wasn't even supposed to be commenting but Sanchez didn't turn up. Did he get more excited about their goal possibly, but don't forget that was the first goal so they were prob excited that they'd got a game on, and it was a decent header that out the underdog ahead.plus you couldn't get excited about 2 of our goals cus we didn't exactly do anything!!!

He did well last nite,67 years old and standing around for an hour talking about city then commentating as well :claping hands:
He kept mentioning how bad the situation is with playing in Northampton as well.
As for his time as a manager,he was a better player than manager.

Bobby Gould ? Useless manager. Anyone who pays £350000 for Leigh Jenkinson is not a good manager. Also levered Steve Ogrizovic out of the first team for son Jonathon. Okay he bought the some of our cup final team and some good signings, Gynn, Kilcline, Oggy, Bennett and big Cyrille, who was hardly a gamble, but couldn't get them to play, twice. Sacked the bloke who could and eventually did, John Sillett and bought some absolute tripe, Withey, Bamber, Grimes, Steve Morgan,Raddy Avromovic, Paul Williams, Jenkinson. And yet every twelve months or so when we need another manager he gets put forward as a candidate. Strange people football fans.

his first 6 months as manager was far more successful than any other coventry manager in history. 4th in the top flight at xmas after beating champions liverpool 4-0, after losing his whole team the year before, and building a team for a fraction of what he received
he made some bad buys but also some very good ones
he managed based on passion alone - worked for a short spell here and worked with the crazy gang
could not work in too many places
that said - he is true sky blue - and those 6 months, and again when he had us as the 1st ever leaders of the premier league were exciting times
unfortunately both times, they quickly hit the buffers

Would never knock Bobby Gould for his passion for Coventry City, it is there in abundance. Just my opinion of Gould the manager is a lot difference and yes up to Christmas in his first season we flew up the table when favourites for the drop, but bookies are rarely wrong and we stayed up by the skin of our teeth as normal.

Can never understand that. Bobby is a good guy. Some of my happiest days following city were when he was in charge.

Then you certainly don't like good football. Second time round he was even worse.

Yeah, I remember that, just before Christmas we lost 5-1. On Twitter once I asked him about it as it was always something I seemed to have imagined. Rubbish day that was. Filbert Street was a dreadful ground.
He was bloody annoying last night though, he never shut up. I was sick of hearing about Neal Ardley.

Probably a bit harsh on him but he certainly went down in my estimation last night...I thought apart from the early days of both his reigns he was an awful manager for us but I always admired the passion he showed for the club...he was one of us. By admitting to having more of an affinity to a club that technically he didn't even manage than us, a lot of that admiration went for me..

Terry Gibson, Stuart Pearce, if it wasnt for Bobby Goulds signings we would never have won the FA Cup, Coventry City fans should always be grateful for that

Yes, I quite agree. I despair sometimes at the comments of some who purport to be supporters. When we return to the Ricoh I wonder what comments some of our young players who are, after all still learning their trade, will receive from these so-called supporters, and hope that it doesn't knock their confidence too much.
We had a bad first half last night and the team can only learn from that.
