Coventry City: A Club Without a Home: The Fight Behind the Sky Blues' Return From Exile

by Simon Gilbert

Coventry City fans had plenty to be happy about in the late 1990s. They had been a top-flight side for more than three decades, and they were graced with a team of glittering international stars such as Robbie Keane, Gary McAllister and Mustapha Hadji. The future appeared bright with the promise of a huge new multi-purpose stadium - including a retractable roof and removable pitch - that would make the club self-sustainable. Fast-forward another 15 years and the club found itself with no stadium to call its own, playing in front of tiny crowds some 35 miles away from the club's home city. Coventry City: A Club Without a Home<\i> is a journey through one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Sky Blues, told by those caught in the eye of the storm.

Before I read this book my position on who was at fault in the ruining of CCFC was neutral. This book has relived the incompetence by success club boards, the bad decision making and petty squabbles that have gone on in the demise of a proud club.

Really enjoyed this, a great insight into the trials and tribulations on what has happened to a former Premier League side.

I was even inspired to write my own full review: https://www.itsroundanditswhite.co.uk...
