Cov Promotion - A new perspective on an old topic

I know many on here have no love for Coventry, but the fan I watched the playoffs semi with in paphos with last year was dead sound, and very magnanimous even after the Ballard goal and me and another MLF squeeling like school girls and jumping around the bar, so I’m actually glad for them.

But the point I came to make, was that at one point when we were in doldrums of league one, I remember looking enviously up the pyramid at Cov, with them having flown the nest and competing for the playoffs in the championship, and I remember dreaming about how one day that could be us again.

Well, they’ve done it and got promoted, and they’ve done it in a reasonable timeframe too for a team that’s worked its way up from league one. But look how far ahead of them we are now.

If you’d have told me back then, that we would be mid table in the prem this year, having taken 6 points off the mags, I wouldn’t have believed you. There is nothing you could have told me that would have made me believe you.

It’s absolutely mental how well KLD, and the team have done.

Thank you once again from all those involved, these last few years have been ace!

For balance the Cov fan we watched the first leg with in Orlando was a complete arsehole and we effed him off 2nd half.

No you don't. They were promoted into the Championship in 2020, then finished 16th and 12th in the two seasons before we were back there.

Think you’ve misinterpreted “competing for the playoffs, as “competing in the playoffs”.

I didn’t say they were in it, but at one point they were doing really well in the league and looking likely to qualify. And at that point even being an upper mid-table, secure championship team was something I would have snapped your hand off for.
 
Unless they sign a Granit Xhaka type and spend big money they'll go back down. Doug King has already stated they'll not have a major overhaul so they might aswell not bother next season

That would be insane, I imagine they have to spend in the summer.
Saying that he wouldn't be the first chairman to totally overate his squad after promotion.

What’s the new perspective ? That you met a fan on holiday or summat ?

Isn’t Dan Neil one of their top targets? Not to start a Dan Neil argument here, but if he’s the type of player they’re going to recruit then it’s only gonna end one way and they’ll be back in the Championship after a season.
