Eh, do Coventry see us as rivals? Bizarre

 

[genewolf]

It’s time for us to see how good our players are and let them develop as opposed to getting players on loan we have zero chance of buying .

Like what we did with Clarke? Good PL loans are the way teams get promoted.

Apparently. Very odd.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

I thought teams pretending to get one over on us would stop once we were out of league 1. Apparently we are still in some other clubs heads. Strange

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I don’t think we ought to be too disappointed with this one. Hardly played in the latter stages of the season and really out of the defensive options looked the most ropey

 

[G Force]

Definitely has potential, but surprised he’s got a Championship move this summer. Didn’t look anywhere near ready for another step up

Nice lad though and hope it works out for him

It certainly used to be but living in Cov it’s much more apparent now than it once was and has been built up in to more than it really deserves.

I don't get it though, literally couldn't give two shits about them, they're irrelevant.

Don't recall us being linked with Doyle any where since season ended.
His farewell tweet to fans suggested there was no coming back.

Its our fault though. The Coventry fiasco in 77 was a disgrace but in all honesty I used to go to Sunderland / Coventry games in the early 80s and they were just dull affairs with no real crowd input. Then stuff like the Summerbee / Frogatt incident and us seming to get more into the Jimmy Hill hatred thing with age seemed to spark things off in recent years.

No links in the press

No mention from the manager

His own statement was a thank you, nothing more

Can’t remember a single poster on here wanting him back

And yet

Sunderland taunted as Coventry City win Man City transfer battle​

I get the dislike at the time of the delayed kick off and for a while after that. My Dad was livid, never forgave them but the rivalry now is a manufactured one. Not helped by the second delayed kick off relegation or Speedie trying to knack Bennett but there’s no real need for it.

97 seemed to help kick it off again

 

[Billy Batts]

I get all the Jimmy hill crack, but thats our beef with a cheat. Plenty of our clubs fans also despise Hill I'd imagine.

 

[Rumop kid]

Only 14 pages mostly of hating cov , hmmmmm !

 

[FriendlyCovFan]

What is it with these Coventry fans man, are there any out there that aren't total bellends?

Hello!!

I've always had a sneaky soft spot for Sunderland ever since 1973. I've always found your supporters to be a decent and humerous bunch over the decades.

I'm still a bellend though.

It used to be. Theres a dislike of jimmy hill. But i dont remember reading in our paper how we beat coventry to the signing of jack clark

We haven't been as he wouldn't get in our side so why would we waste a loan on him? Plus City won't want him back here as he was on the bench for much of the second half of the season.
