"I could tell you a story about Coventry and how they let me down financially, not me personally but investing in players like we agreed...." Guardian interview today.

Well I'd like to hear it.

"I could tell you a story about Coventry and how they let me down financially, not me personally but investing in players like we agreed...." Guardian interview today.

Well I'd like to hear it.

He has basically said it. He has told you. He was promised money for players and the money as we all know stopped. Nothing new here.

 

[Nick]

Didn't he pay over a million quid for Eastwood and 500k for David Bell?

Dread to think what he wanted that was rejected if they got through.

 

[skybluepm2]

Could but won't, in case he opens up a can of worms about how appallingly he managed a squad that was more than capable of winning the league.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

No doubt he will tell you how he had Andy Carroll and Jordan Henderson lined up for permanent deals before SISU let him down.

 

[skybluesam66]

this will be the story that Ranson sold to us all - investment to get us to the promised land, which very quickly dried up
That said - when you invest in players such as eastwood, and you perform so badly with the players that you did have at your disposal

westwood/fox/dann/turner/gunnarson/Henderson/best etc - who have all played in the premier league since, you shouldn't be struggling to avoid relegation

 

[Nick]

Maybe he is used to playing Football Manager with unlimited money cheats to be able to win things?

 

[pusbccfc]

We had a great side back then and Coleman to be fair brought us the most success we have had in the last 15 years by getting us to the quarter finals of the FA Cup.

However, the cup run was a peace of piss!

 

[covcity4life]

imagine mowbray with colemans cov squad....

 

[hill83]

Whether what he's saying (or not saying) is true or not, and it more than likely is true. He was shit.

 

[covcity4life]

i heard he was an alocoholic. coming to training hungover,then getting on the booze after training

SHOULD MAKE IT CLEAR THIS IS JUST WHAT IVE HEARD FROM SOMEONE WHO USED TO WORK FOR CLUB,COULD BE BOLLOCKS

 

[Monners]

Always chasing women apparently and his ex wife and kids are in a council flat - what a class individual.

He was a poor manager too (get it back on football)

I'd heard that somewhere too. He's a crap manager who had a decent(on paper anyhow) team playing crap football. The only time I ever wavered in renewing my season ticket was when this pissed up plank was in charge. Hated it and despise him. He's giving it large now that he has fluked his way up the world rankings on the back of a once in a generation player for Wales. Wanker of the highest order.

 

[Bugsy]

We on about andy thorn or coleman lol

 

[ajsccfc]

Carry On Coleman, didn't his wife have to sneak a tracker into his car because he had women on the go all the time?

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

imagine mowbray with colemans cov squad....

Or the transfer budget Coleman had...

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Lets not forget this spineless piece of spunks all conquering squad fluked staying up on the last day vs charlton by fighting their way to a 4-1 defeat. Inspiring management no doubt.

 

[Gint11]

"Boys tried hard".

Real Sociedad are investigating coach Chris Coleman's late arrival at a press conference, amid reports that he was seen at a local nightclub in the early hours of last Friday morning.


Coleman claimed a faulty washing machine had been the reason for arriving 90 minutes late on Friday only to be forced into a statement on the club's website in which he admitted that it had been an "excuse" after being out the night before until the early hours. "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said the former Fulham manager, who has taken the second division club to four wins out of 12.


Real Sociedad's sporting director, Salva Iriarte, said the mid-table Basque club had now opened a disciplinary investigation. "We are all human and we all make mistakes," he said. "[Coleman] has said he is sorry and explained himself to me. As far as I am concerned the matter is closed."

[robbieray]

He wasn't mustard was he.....but liked sauce

 

[Nick]

I bet he was glad when that super well known team Larissa took him on.

 

[torchomatic]

I'd like to hear how Coleman failed despite having a pretty decent squad.

 

[Kingokings204]

Wasn't thorn into his drink? Why do we get the pissheads? Thorn was always seen having a few here there and everywhere. Nice bloke mind you.

 

[Hobo]

It's all history we can't change the past

 

[RFC]

In hindsight probably a good decision judging by some of the fees and quality of the players he did bring in!

the late gary speed laid ther groundwork lets not forget either

 

[fernandopartridge]

I can't stand that c**t. Don't blame SISU for pulling the plug on him. If only they'd got rid of that crank Ranson and Coleman earlier.

I heard he's made of rice pudding and has barbecues on Mars but only on Wednesday or a Thursday if the champions league is on.

In both of their defence, there was a hot rumour that after the first full season they both quit, but were persuaded not to by SISU.

It would tally as well. First season we were reasonably well funded and pretty clear we underachieved. Second season... we went a bit bargain basement. Ironically I don't think Coleman did too bad a job at all with us from that point on until his sacking.

 

[vow]

By the end of Coleman's tenure the football was pretty dire, more of a "Lets not lose" rather than "Lets fookin win!"

 

[covcity4life]

is doing well with wales nontheless. national jon probably suits him, only needs to stay sober for 4 days every 5 months

Second season he spent his money. Eastwood, Bell, Gunnarsson, Morrison, Wood, Westwood, Stephen Wright etc. He had to curtail the spending the following year. Wasn't much difference in any of the 3 seasons, no real progress.

They're doing well despite him not because of.
He'll owe Gareth Bale a huge favour after the euros.
Ramsey, Allen & Williaims have also done their bit.

First full season.

Season before he only rocked up for a bit of it.
