The Truths of Booths #2

After Coventry's win against Portsmouth on the first day of the season, Aidy Boothroyd asked people not to get carried away as the league doesn't sort itself out and teams are not correctly placed until after ten games into the season.

On the eve of Coventry's tenth game of the season, Aidy said:

"Usually you say leagues tend to sort themselves out after 12 games, but this year I think it will probably take 24 or 30 because you just don’t know what’s going to happen."

Liar?

The Truths of Booths #1

Aidy Boothroyd stated that he has no intention of signing Marlon King, he is just good friends with 'misunderstood' Marlon but he will absolutely not be playing football for Coventry City.

Marlon?

King?

Liar?

King gets past the Coventry Guard

Interesting to see Marlon King and family at the Ricoh to watch the game against Derby. Before any speculation could be made though, Aidy Hoofroyd said to the press that he invited him, he is going to talk to him after the game and he wants him to be a Coventry player. He also went onto to say that he has been a model professional when he last managed him, he is a changed man now and that he wouldn't be a problem at Coventry.

Well that settles it then.

King: Has my career come to this, trying to get a job at Coventry? Don't they know who I am? Wait didn't that get me into trouble last time?

Sky Blues Shit but Still Butt the Rams

A dour TV performance from the Sky Blues however there were some good individual performances, most noticeably from man of the match Ben Turner and the surprisingly impressive Clive Plattini. Despite this, Coventry won the game 2-1, went temporarily top of the league, won all of their home games so far and have not lost in the league yet either.

This is very early days but my mind may be for changing on Aidy Hoofroyd as i was not pleased with his initial appointment. Since then though, he has said the right things and we have had some good results so far. The jury is still out.....

Genius or Frank Spencer?

Explanations

Ok, i must apologise for the long absence. I have been deported to Eygpt and managed to return (which is a big relief because apart from the massive Macdonald's food it was not somewhere i'll be returning to in a hurry), and then there was a football competition of some sort which required my attention.

I will be back on track from now on with the regular posting although nothing substantial tonight apart from i have had to hear the wrath of wife regarding the news that Take That are reforming as a fivesome. They will be requiring more money from their fans to support this though so look forward to that. Please note i have made no reference to 'the boys' being massive homosexuals and bum bandits as the old bread knife may read this.

Just as a teaser, likely future posts: Coventry City/Aidy Boothroyd latest, World cup round up, UFC116 (fucking awesome), possible zoo pictures and maybe even the Colonel's Annual Cleavage Awards (you must understand this will not contain any shots of the Colonel pushing the moobs together.

Until the next time....

Oh Dear

Coventry City name Aidy Boothroyd of Colchester United as new manager

Coventry City have confirmed Aidy Boothroyd as their new manager, with the 39-year-old signing a three-year contract at the Ricoh Arena.

Colchester United gave Boothroyd permission to speak to the Sky Blues earlier this week and duly agreed compensation with the Championship club before negotiations had been completed between the manager and his prospective new employers.

But that deal has now been finalised and the former Watford manager has officially succeeded Chris Coleman, who was sacked shortly after City finished 19th, having endured a sorry late slump for the second campaign running.

Ray Ranson, the former Manchester City defender who is Coventry chairman, hopes Boothroyd can follow his achievements at Vicarage Road and be the man to take Coventry back to the Premier League, from where they were relegated in 2001.

Coventry's Big Mistake

Colchester boss Boothroyd set for Coventry City talks

Boothroyd led Watford to the Premier League in 2006 Coventry City have been given permission to speak to Colchester United boss Aidy Boothroyd over their managerial vacancy. The clubs have agreed a compensation fee for the ex-Watford boss, 39, who took over at Colchester in September. Notts County manager Steve Cotterill was believed to have turned down the Sky Blues job earlier on Wednesday. City need a new manager after sacking Chris Coleman following their 19th placed finish in the Championship. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
