The Morrison Effect

Last updated : 17 February 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has been speaking about Clinton Morrison and the effect the forward has had in the camp since he joined the Sky Blues.

"Clinton is constant," Chris Coleman said to the CT. "Every day in training if something is not quite right he has to say something - he can't help himself - but he does it in a positive way and that's something we need.

"Sometimes he'll upset somebody and there's a bit of a to-do but afterwards he'll go and speak to that person, explain what he meant and shake hands."I've known Clinton since he was 16 and he hasn't changed a bit.

"I think he thinks he has got a bit of a bad reputation but I spoke to Steve Bruce and Eric Black about him before I signed him because I hadn't been in his company for a long time, and they said don't hesitate because he was great at Birmingham.


"And he has been great for us. "You always get one or two players in a squad that don't really like each other but they all know what Clinton is about and they expect him to speak out.

"They know he doesn't hold a grudge afterwards, and that's important."
