New Coventry City MD Chris Anderson has said that the city of Coventry needs a club.
Speaking at a press conference this afternoon to the Coventry Telegraph, the American said: "Why Coventry? Coventry City FC is one of those great clubs in English football history.
"A town and a club that’s seen some real highs and lows.
"It’s a club with huge potential in a great city. What’s not to like about Coventry City?
"It’s a city that wants to embrace it’s football club again.
"It wants and needs a club.
"There’s a bad history and nobody can make that go away. It was in trouble before the current owners.
"Look at what we do, not what people tell you in the pub. We have a great manager, great technical director, a squad that’s terrific that our finances allow.
"We are winning games, we’re one point off promotion places.
"Embrace that, forget the rest."
