Market

The Birmingham deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Brad Collins reports back to Coventry City with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank Onyeka 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.

Squad

Victor Torp 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.

Match

Coventry City share the spoils with Norwich City

A 1‑1 draw with Norwich City leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

“I want to play”: Norman Bassette speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad

A Coventry City teenager takes the young player award

Yang Min-Hyeok is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Match

Coventry City tear Sheffield Wednesday apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Sheffield Wednesday, and it could have been more.

Market

Raphael Borges Rodrigues 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 The request is on a desk at Coventry City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Jack Rudoni 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.

Squad

Frank Onyeka 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Haji Wright

Marked 8.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Ephron Mason-Clark in the eights

A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

One of those days for Jack Rudoni

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Haji Wright is off the mark for Coventry City

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Market

Nottingham Forest come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Coventry City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Jack Rudoni signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jack Rudoni commits to Coventry City for another 4 years.

Squad

Carl Rushworth 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.

Squad

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank Onyeka 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.

Market

Brentford expected to open talks for Milan van Ewijk

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Coventry City will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Coventry City lose Tristen Batanwi

58 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
