I’ve recently decided to genuinely follow the Sky Blues, supporting a club with potential in the championship was the aim. I had a few good options even a couple in League One but here I am.
My reasons.
Obviously… It’s a new chapter. Yes, there’s definitely a Sky Blue bandwagon now. A new owner who’s ambitious is in charge, a lot of upside here. So if we had fandom tiers I’ve entered right on level one, I’ve never suffered with tenured Cov fans and I’ll most likely experience a club that will fight for promotion year on year, or a club that gets promoted and finally fulfills its potential. Time will tell. This could all go down the crapper and Doug King fails BUT…
I finally made my bed, I need to lie in it.
Nothing clicked. Admittedly, I’ve tried following a number clubs in the past, made an extra effort with a few of them but it just didn’t click for me. These things aren’t forced they need to naturally happen.
A club without a home. This attracted me the most I think with Coventry City. I was able to somewhat empathize with this, being a “football fan” with no club to call my own. Different obviously but the longing to belong and settle attracted me. There’s a good book about it too.
One club city. I always liked the idea of a city with one football club. I believe they produce more passionate fans. When a city only has one club, the fans tend to be more dedicated and passionate in my opinion. Might not always be the case but for Cov it definitely is.
Heart decision. In the end it boils down to a “gut” feeling right. You can spew out all the facts on why you should support the uniteds of the world but when you lay your head on that pillow, it’s what you feel that matters most. For some reason supporting Coventry just feels right for me personally. 14th in the championship, bright future, hopefully. PUSB
Guy round us only picks out the non white players. He’s not racist though he told me thatWelcome aboard buddy. It’s a rollercoaster and a lesson in everything bar football but I wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ve got a great young squad and IMO the best manager outside the Prem and a real connection with fans and club forged through some pretty shit times. You’ll love it and hate it but never be bored.
14th is probably right with how the season has turned out but next year should be very interesting with lots off the books and a new owner so you’re joining at a good time.
Now you just need to pick a player to slate every game whatever they do. May I recommend Jamie Allen, though others like Palmer or Panzo if that’s your thing.
Unless Frostie the snowman signed for us and I missed it, not sure I've ever seen a white player play for us. Edit: I have spotted a few shite players thoughGuy round us only picks out the non white players. He’s not racist though he told me that
Look it's not his fault they all happen to be "lazy" is it..Guy round us only picks out the non white players. He’s not racist though he told me that

It’s really quite impressive really. I try to look at it on £600 iPhone, which would have been too spec 18 months ago, and it struggles to load all the adverts and pop ups and I only ever manage to read the first couple of paragraphs.Fuck me, that website only gets worse on a mobile phone

Welcome Doug
Just seen a video on Facebook with Mark Robins talking about Doug King and the take over, NO BIG investment in the transfer market.
While I'm surprised he hasn't done an interview he had a few before it went through and has released a few statements. Hardly in Sisu territory.So no interview with Doug King on CWR, start as you mean to go on.
No different to SISU.
It's been two daysSo no interview with Doug King on CWR, start as you mean to go on.
No different to SISU.
Sounds from Robins press conference like he's very hands on so wouldn't be surprised if he does a very interviews after January when things calm downSo no interview with Doug King on CWR, start as you mean to go on.
No different to SISU.

Don’t think the Arsenal lad is unproven played 20 championship games this season.The first acts feel quite SISU like, clearing expensive wages off the wage bill and bringing in young unproven loans. Hope next week is more positive

Have a word chaps... the geezer has just taken over a football club, and bang in the middle of a transfer window, do you not think he might be busy? I fucking hope he is! He will talk once his ducks are aligned.
More than the players he's replacingDon’t think the Arsenal lad is unproven played 20 championship games this season.
Clearing out 20k worth per week of wages for players that hardly play a game is only a positiveThe first acts feel quite SISU like, clearing expensive wages off the wage bill and bringing in young unproven loans. Hope next week is more positive
Is that long enough to draw any real conclusions at all? I'd love to hear from him also but it's clear that things are happening at the moment so I'm alright with that insteadThe deal was done on Tuesday.
