Coleman Wants City Back In The Big Time

Last updated : 17 November 2008 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has again stated his intention to get the Sky Blues into the Premier League.

"I have got no shame in saying I had four or five years as a manager in the Premier League and I am not happy to sit on that and say I worked at that level and it was great," said Coleman to the CT.

"Bugger that, I want to get back there with Coventry City. I have signed for three and a half years and there is a long-term plan, but I can't give that to individual players.

"People talk about Kevin Keegan as a great motivator and he was, but he was right in what he used to say which is that it comes from the individual - if they can't get up on a Saturday morning and fancy a game, whether it is against the Dog and Duck or whoever, then you can't give that someone.

"If you have got talent, good camaraderie and work-rate then you can do well in this league. But we are not consistent enough and we need to find that."
