Just don't see managers like that anymore Deano. Dare I say had a certain previous incumbent here attempted a pre-training run he would've been gasping for pie soon after.

Out of curiosity.....I think its safe to say nobody wanted to see Robins go, however before that, when was the last time a manger left Coventry that you were upset about ? Most managers have left the club due to frankly poor league performance and deserved the boot so who was the last manager you were sad to see leave ?

WRONG!!!!!

There was at least 2!!!

Peter Reid, without a doubt.

Dowie is the one guy where you can make an argument for footballing reasons: 0.73 points per game in his last 15 matches, going from 8th place to 19th. A change to stave off relegation wasn't a bad call.

You could make that call, but its not the one Ranson made. We were just about to get investment and had a couple of big games coming up. Ranson sacked him purely because he had Coleman lined up.

I agree on a stats basis, but his style and overall tenure I found enjoyable. His overall stats are pretty good too, I'm not one for sacking managers after a bad run or even a bad season if overall they're better than the 30% average we normally get.
