Marked for Jacob Wright

From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout26 Apr 2032

Jacob Wright says Coventry City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad26 Apr 2032

Pablo Felipe is carrying Coventry City

18 goals and a season average of 7.31. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Market26 Apr 2032

Antonio Pio Iervolino has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Coventry City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad26 Apr 2032

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Apr 2032

João Gomes falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match24 Apr 2032

Still nobody has beaten Coventry City

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match24 Apr 2032

Pablo Felipe sends Coventry City past Rotherham United

It finished 1‑0, and it was Pablo Felipe’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Coventry City.

Player ratings26 Apr 2032

One of those days for Pablo Felipe

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings26 Apr 2032

Nobody could get near Víctor Muñoz

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Samuel Stewart breaks a bone — 84 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 84 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market16 Feb 2032

Joshua Donovan agrees terms with Aalesund

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Coventry City people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

Jacob Wright says Coventry City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Tempers go at Coventry City

Víctor Muñoz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market16 Feb 2032

Rio Mundle has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Coventry City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom16 Feb 2032

Coventry City to lose Rio Mundle for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Rio Mundle has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Pablo Felipe is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.33 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. João Gomes is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match14 Feb 2032

Pablo Felipe sends Coventry City past Peterborough United

It finished 1‑0, and it was Pablo Felipe’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Coventry City.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match10 Dec 2031

Cup progress for Coventry City

A 1‑1 win over Wolverhampton, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad15 Dec 2031

A fracture rules Rhys Browne out for 141 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Coventry City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings15 Dec 2031

Mark Smith runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad15 Dec 2031

Toby Steward is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Toby Steward: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Market15 Dec 2031

Tiago Quintal puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Coventry City, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout15 Dec 2031

Jacob Wright keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Coventry City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market15 Dec 2031

Only the photograph left for Tomás Rayer

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Tomás Rayer will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Coventry City the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad15 Dec 2031

Víctor Muñoz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Dec 2031

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Squad14 Jul 2031

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto breaks a bone — 60 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 60 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad14 Jul 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kareem Ahmed

40 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Coventry City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets14 Jul 2031

Fee done, terms next for Oliver Whatmuff

Coventry City and Wolverhampton have settled on $4.0M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market14 Jul 2031

Afonso Silva has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Coventry City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout14 Jul 2031

Antonio Satriano keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Coventry City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market14 Jul 2031

Middlesbrough watching João Gomes

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Coventry City have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market14 Jul 2031

Mateo Maldonado asks to leave Coventry City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad14 Jul 2031

Words exchanged at Coventry City

Víctor Muñoz and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom14 Jul 2031

Antonio Satriano signs for Watford while still at Coventry City

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Antonio Satriano has agreed terms with Watford for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

In brief
