Found this website earlier:

Old match reports and CT stories from 2002 and before. Personal highlights are being linked to Andrei Kanchelskis and a Man City fan saying 'we should be walking this league and there's only one side that can stop us - Coventry City' (what a contrasting 15 years both clubs have had).

CWN (Coventry and Warwickshire Network) used to be a great local website. It had a very lively Coventry forum and lots of great features. They even had a webcam in the precinct at one time. At some point (in 2002) the entire site stopped being updated. I asked the owner and he seemed to have lost interest but said he might start updating it again in the future. But it never happened. A big loss.

Interesting piece on one of the links:

Now Bryan Richardson, loathed by many for being the man who has kept the club in touch with the big boys in the only way he knows how, by wheeling and dealing his way through it all, is credited with being the architect of the next UK soccer revolution.

TV will not pay the same money again for the same product. It wants something new. Celtic and Rangers are part of the answer. A Premiership Division Two is another. It all presents many pitfalls and problems unless you tear up what we now have and start again. That is precisely what the so-called Phoenix League, allegedly drafted by Bryan Richardson, proposes.

So, revile him, criticise him and protest against him if you will. He will, without doubt face a stiff examination of his tenure as Chairman at the Annual General Meeting on 21 December. But consider, too, what he has done and what he is trying to do, in a game where money is everything and the big clubs grab most of it.

Bryan Richardson knows only too well that money can’t buy you love. I’m not sure it bothers him.

And that your honour was the beginning of our downfall.
