True, but you've had to go back 50 years to find one.

Nothing unusual about this,Chairman have been on team photos for decades.
Derrick Robins and the rest of the board were on a 1960s photo.Jimmy Hill when he was chairman and Bryan Richardson were also on in later years.
Our fans moan about anything

One photo that had me and my mate howling was a photo in The Pink of the bench at Selhurst Park, maybe , early to mid ninety's I think. (My memory's terrible so I might be wrong on the ground)

It named all the players and coaching staff on the bench, on the end was the coach driver who they named as well!

He had more right to be on the bench than Ken Dulieu, at least he had "Coach" in his job title.

Sure he wasn't just a coach with the surname Driver?

Who’s who as Coventry City backroom nears playing squad numbers

Answer who all the backroom staff are.

 

[robbiekeane]

I mean that’s a literal contradiction in terms but ok

no its not, i thought you were a teacher

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

no its not, i thought you were a teacher

Certainly is. Miserable but simultaneously happy about complaining?

 

[robbiekeane]

Not a contradiction at all.

its actually pointing out the irony that some people only feel satisfied when they're complaining. If they don't have something to bitch about, they get miserable. It's not about happiness in the traditional sense—it's about finding contentment in their discontent. It's a paradox, yeh, but not a contradiction...there's a difference

 

[pusbccfc]

Owners that had us playing in Northampton and Birmingham was bad enough, but this really is a step too far.

People would be happy to go back to SISU if they could get their cheap boxes back

Maybe the point is…if some people seem perennially unhappy, there’s something else going on rather than it being a character trait.

I’m finding it more odd that Dasilva isn’t in the official squad photo.

Well we don't know what his personal situation is do we?

No we don’t though, do we though?

You'd kill for Turners job some days. A day sat there playing guess who between the website and the squad photo, then a 10 minute write up. Tough days graft.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

People mainly object to threads when they have an issue with the subject matter. I don't think anyone is having a go at King or diminishing what he has done for CCFC. People, like me, are simply pointing out that it's a bit, well, odd. Nothing more.

Our past chairmen, owner etc have been in previous squad pics over the decades.

[Williescar]

They have.I think people are moaning about this because the team haven’t started the season well.
If we were top of the league it wouldn’t even be mentioned.

 

[torchomatic]

Our past chairmen, owner etc have been in previous squad pics over the decades.

Maybe so. Still think it's odd.

 

[robbiekeane]

Maybe the point is…if some people seem perennially unhappy, there’s something else going on rather than it being a character trait.

and they probably need to focus on fixing that and managing their chimp rather than just slagging off coventry city all the time

 

[Deity]

Maybe so. Still think it's odd.

So on what basis do you think it’s odd if you agree it’s been going on for decades ?

 

[shmmeee]

So on what basis do you think it’s odd if you agree it’s been going on for decades ?

All kinds of odd things have been going on for decades. It’s the incidence compared to the total population of football clubs that makes it odd, not when it first appeared.

 

[torchomatic]

I think "going on for decades" is a bit of a stretch. Why not show us all the times it's happened over the decades.

 

[Deity]

So other clubs do it, we have been doing it for decades and you think it’s odd ?

the truth is posters were trying to position this as DK over reaching and that’s been proven to be incorrect

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Would you accept Joy Seppalla sat in a squad photo yes or no?

I wouldn't have liked it but then again what could we have done about it if she had.

 

[Deity]

I think "going on for decades" is a bit of a stretch. Why not show us all the times it's happened over the decades.

I can recall Jimmy Hill, Poynton, and Richardson all doing it.

another poster said Derrick Robins did it too.

is 50 years long enough ??

Start a thread and get the pitch forks out?

So four times in 50 years? Hardly the norm then? Nothing against King at all. He's improved our club no end over the last couple of years. As I said l though, it's an odd thing to do.

Please tell me your not this stupid.

owners have owned the club for multiple years ….

so 5 owners can easily span 30 or 40 years …..

Is this true? Hill as chairman in the club photo? I certainly wouldn’t be surprised had Bryan Richardson done it but I can’t actually find any evidence of it.

Poynton was pretty low key as a Chairman. It should be easy to find a squad photo he was in if he did it.

Ban international breaks.

Feck there is another one in October.

It’s been happening since 1883

I'm not talking about the number of owners we've had, but the number who thought their place was in the centre of a squad photo.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Feck there is another one in October.

And another One in November and Then in March 2025.
