Boddy Calls For Long Term Solution

Last updated : 03 February 2019 By CNS Sport

Coventry City CEO David Boddy has called for a long term solution to give the Sky Blues some stability.

Mr Boddy wrote the following in his programme notes for City's game against Gillingham which we have reprinted and enlarged them for those who struggle to read them in the programme or don't bother with the programme.

They are as follows:

"That philosophy on the field should also translate off the field. I know fans and the wider community are growing weary of the continued disputes around the club, and the jeopardy that the club finds itself in. That has been a regular state, and is even more urgent than ever this year.

"While those who made the decisions through this period, even back in 1997 when plans were first presented for Arena 2000, will have made the decision based on their best judgement of the best interest of the club at the time. The Club is consequently in a position where it is reliant on others - be it decisions of owners or landlords - for its future and very survival.

"A long term solution to provide stability to the Club and to its fans and the community, needs to be the aim for everyone involved, so this issue does not rear its head every year and the Football Club can move forward with long term stability."
