John Sillett has said that City manager Mark Robins is the best manager the Sky Blues have had in ages.
Sillett is the President of the Coventry City Diamond Club and was speaking at their sold out Christmas Lunch, attended by over 210 members and guests in the Legends Lounge at the Ricoh Arena.
Sillett, accompanied by his wife Jean, speaking about Mark Robins to Joe Elliott said: "Mark Robins is the best manager we have had for a long time and he is the way forward.
"He gives the players confidence and the players have responded to his methods and are doing it properly."
Sillett, speaking at a lunch which was attended by a number of his former team-mates including Bill Tedds, Ronnie Farmier, Dietmar Bruck, Ken Satchwell, Ken Brown, Brian Nicholas and Lol Harvey, also praised City's defence saying that Richard Wood has been much better of late, Edjenguele was excellent and Cyrus Christie was bombing on,
He praised those who fill in for players and said that it was all about improvement on the pitch and there was plenty of that going on.He could see that the players were trying to get it right and backed them to succeed.
The lunch, itself was an excellent three course affair, with the Christmas festivities provided by local female barbershop group - The Belles Of Three Spires, who have had a busy year, playing such venues as The Olympic Park, and who played two much appreciated sets.
Other guests included former Coventry Sporting Manager and Chairman David Kite, who has heavily been involved with the Coventry Charity Cup Committee for the last twenty five years.
There was bingo, a raffle and an auction of a signed Keith Houchen picture which raised £60, all helping to ensure that those who attended had a memorable afternoon.
