And so the side show that is the FA Cup has been put to bed for another year and thankfully, this season without the embarrassment of a defeat to lower league opposition, which has befallen many a Sky Blues boss.
New manager Micky Adams faces a task akin to a new government in that he has to clear up the mess left by the previous regime. It is a mess which sees a current totally unacceptable league placing with the trap door to League One football next season ready to ensnarl the Sky Blues if more victories are not recorded.
It is easy to blame the former manager and to an extent the Board, whose failure to clamp down on Bryan Richardson and other mistakes during their tenure like failing to seek enough external finances for signings has led to the last three managers being totally under-funded.
However, once the players step out on the pitch, it is they who have conceded numerous goals late in a match which have seen the points from wins or draws denied, not the manager, Board or supporters and they need to take some of the responsibility.
Just add up the points lost from the games versus Cardiff, Brighton, Gillingham home, Derby away, Preston home, Ipswich home and away as well as the last league game against Queens Park Rangers and a mid to top ten standing would have been a reality rather than a look back at what might have been.
Preventing these late, soft goals has to be Micky Adams main priority. There is little wrong with the players we currently have on the books and the need for the correct man-management has never been greater in order to ensure every player Adams plus his adopted side kick Adrian Heath select, gives 150 per cent effort and commitment for the Sky Blue cause for the whole ninety minutes plus whatever stoppage time is added.
As we prepare to leave Highfield Road for the Stad De Foleshill at the behest of Messrs Richardson,McGinnity,Hover and a stack of other personal agenda merchants, how we can create an atmosphere at this new playing venue is something supporters need to consider.
One such idea was prevalent at the game at Newcastle in the way the Toon Ultras operate.
Not to be confused with the hooligan groups associated with Italy and Spain, the Newcastle Ultras are supporters dedicated to making an atmosphere at matches at St James Park.
The idea is not new, having been muted amongst the broadsheets, websites and supporter organisations in the form of "singing areas” for at least a decade.
By having the end closest to the visitors section (although not as close as the JSB's) and something based on what currently exists at Highfield Road, allocated to those who wish to sing and chant. Then maybe, the City support which was superb at Newcastle and deserves all the plaudits it brought could at least attempt to replicate the atmosphere and noise generated at home and away games and spur the team on.
