As promised, after last week's thread about players we were sad to see leave, this week for Cooks Question, i want to know the players you were happy to see the back of. I'll kick things off by saying Reece Brown. Woeful defender. How he got into Manchester United's youth academy i will never know. Thank fuck it was only a loan deal. Was also very happy to see the departures of Roy O'Donnovan and Chris Dunn. What about you guys? Who were you happy to see leave? Im expecting there are going to be a lot of answers here. So sing them out! Get your answers in before 11.45 on Thursday mornign if you want them read out on my show. Sports Lounge kicks off at 10am this Thursday exclusive to 98.6 Hillz FM. You can also tune in via www.hillzfm.co.uk or the Tune In Radio App. The show will be repeated at 8am on Saturday and will be uploaded to my mixcloud page, www.mixcloud.com/liamcook on Thursday afternoon

TSBL, I agree with you about Reece Brown. I don't know how he ever got a professional contract at any level.

Leon Barnett , Michael Mcindoe,

Sbarcher · Aug 31, 2015

Keith O'Neil - got really pissed off flashing his cash on champagne in Leamington when he was "signed off sick"

Kingokings204 · Aug 31, 2015

Michael Doyle, 8 years wasting a wage. Truly awful.

skybluepm2 · Aug 31, 2015

Jordan Clarke, was delighted when he left.

ccfcmad1 · Aug 31, 2015

Where do we start! Chris hussey Gary deegen although he did well at first Clive platt Roy odonavon.

skybluebeduff · Aug 31, 2015

Craig Bellamy and his fucking wanker of a brother who got laughed at by about 60 citys fans in bar at the side of Highfield Road, it was tragic.

Johnnythespider · Aug 31, 2015

It has to be Julian Grey, a winger who was scared to beat his man, scared to tackle and probably scared of his own shadow. I couldn't wait to see the back of him.

skybluetony176 · Aug 31, 2015

Colin Hendry. Although clearly an accomplished player I can't ever remember being so disappointed by a signing. Not because we signed him but purely because he didn't deliver. I don't why it was but he seemed to have left all the attributes that made him a good player in Scotland. Perhaps he lost his motivation for football or something while at Rangers, I don't know. What I do know was that he was clearly a shadow of the player he was before he went north of the border. I think he did OK at Bolton though so maybe he just didn't like Coventry?

So he shouldn't have left his house because he had a bone disease?

nmp2327 · Aug 31, 2015

Tim Sherwood and even more so now !!!

Covstu · Aug 31, 2015

Bellamy an easy one!

oscillatewildly · Aug 31, 2015

Robert Jarni. He just looked so smarmy in those shades. Yeah, smarmy Jarni.

shy_tall_knight · Aug 31, 2015

David bell- one great goal but nearly 100 games of ineffective performances, a winger with no pace, his true potential was noticed and within 6 months of leaving us he was at the mighty /kings Lynn Town. Cost £500k , i think a lot of Cov fans thought that such a fee meant he would be good and cut him a lot of slack, simply rubbish.

The treatment Hendry received by supporters was nothing short of disgraceful.

That 'treatment' was a direct result of his whole demeanour whilst he was with us.

SkyBlueSid · Aug 31, 2015

The list is endless if we are truthful. I particularly despised the big-name Charlies who came to City for a last payday and failed miserably. Obvious examples are Terry Butcher, Colin Hendry, Tim Sherwood and Kevin Kilbane. The only one of these who succeeded was Dennis Wise but we never learn.

Over the past few years we have had no end of donkeys who you wonder how they ever got professional contracts. Kyle, Platt, O'Donovan, Proschwitz, etc etc etc.......

People hurtling abuse at him when he was sitting in the Main Stand telling him "to go and fucking die" - I don't think so.

The clubs fans for some reason really do serve it up to older players who don't do well. Kilbane, Sherwood, Hendry, De Zeau by definition were excellent pros. To suggest they suddenly decide at Coventry to abandon the principals that they clearly had to give them highly successful careers is nonsense.

In Hendrys case I'm sure it had some stupid connection to being a Scot and so let's abuse him as he's a Strachan puppet.

Wouldn't disagree with that. I'm not the sort of fan to get on the back of our own players during the game.

He didn't deserve the abuse you described but he was gash from his first touch of the ball in a Coventry shirt to his last. That's how I remember it. Don't recall anyone getting on his back for being Scottish or any suggestion that he was a Strachan puppet.

Reminds me, nobody has mentioned Webster has gone to St Mirren!

You're right

I think he'll be an asset to them. Experience etc and lower standard of football.

He just wasn't good enough for us, but did give his best. So good luck to him.

Apart from that alleged abuse he received in the main stand (did they really use such profanity there?) to suggest the grief he got was to do with his nationality and not the woeful performances he served up is quite frankly, laughable.
There also seems to be more than a little coincidence with so many senior pro's, ('excellent', as you describe) who turn up at this club and fail to deliver for dubious reasons to be dismissed as 'nonsense'.

Jeff Blockley...for his interview after joining Arsenal.

Oh there is no alleged about it. Our fans can be pig ignorant at times. All the players mentioned were fine professionals - look at the disgusting comments aimed at Kilbane at the Crewe game - it epitomises the prejudice we have to these players.

Profanity in the Main Stand? God there was one guy who sat near me that constantly abused Joachim beyond belief. He seemed confused. He seemed to think his name was Lazy c**t. I suggested once to him "do you think his middle name is black", he was an aggressive chap and took great offence to being called racist.

He informed me it was because "he was Villa Scum"

He didn't like Colin Hendry much either.

Sick Boy · Aug 31, 2015

Wasn't there something about a city supporter taking the piss out of Kilbane's disabled child? Obviously when he had a go back Kilbane was vilified as well for daring to defend his family.

Typical football fans who act all big and then cry like a baby when someone dares say something back to them.

Wankers

Hahaha some tosser near me used to regularly stretch his intellectual capacities and regularly described Stern John as a lazy c**t. Then one day he lost it and blurted 'John dirty lazy black c**t.'

Hendry was reportedly on big money here. Not saying he deserved any abuse he got but what does he expect? He played like a pub level player on top level wages. He sounds like a bit of a c**t in real life anyway judging by recent news stories in Lancashire.

I was at that Crewe game, sat down with head in hands, reeling from that particular performance whilst all around me stood. I looked up as the commotion reached a peak and inexplicably had a perfect narrow view through the crowd to witness Kilbane angrily marching over to the crowd and pointing. I had absolutely no idea that some toe rag had aimed a personal comment regarding his family, at him. I think he announced his retirement immediately after the game?
It's subjective of course (as a paying supporter) to vilify a players performance. But that is where it should begin and end - based purely on performance.

Adge · Aug 31, 2015

I was glad to see MacSheffrey go the 1st time and even more so 2nd time. For some reason he was held up like some kind of God when in reality his limitations, penalty misses and general shit performances towards the end got over looked because he was from Cov.
Doyle,Hughes,Deegan,Jordan Clark,Thornton, the list goes on!
Surprised nobody has mentioned Barton?

Kingokings204 · Aug 31, 2015

Donnelly was it? 1 day go home man.

Paul telfer was also crap for a long while.

More recently it's the kids who haven't been up to scratch but seems harsh to pick them out when they have been chucked in because we have no on else.
