Ricketts: I Wanted To Continue What We Started Last Season

Last updated : 18 July 2016 By CNS Staff

Sam Ricketts has said that he wants to continue what Coventry City started last season.

The Sky Blues started and finished strongly but were let down by a three month patch whereby they picked up fifteen league points.

Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Ricketts said about why he took the deal offered to him by City: “I just wanted to continue what we started last season.

“I think the brand of football the gaffer plays and Jamie Clapham involved in the coaching I think it’s a really modern style of football and I really enjoy that. We try to control the game with the ball which is always enjoyable to play.

“I said it last year when I first arrived that Coventry is still a club with huge potential to achieve things and at some point it is going to click into place. It’s a big club, a massive club and it there’s really no limit to what Coventry can do.

“Swansea and Southampton have done it; there are many clubs who have gone from this level all the way through and are now established Premier League clubs.

 “I spoke to various people who rang me but I was never really looking to go anywhere else because I enjoy it here.

“I speak to the manager a lot and really like him, like the way he plays and also as a person so I had no reason to go anywhere else. It was never really in any doubt not staying.”
