Waggott: We Need To Make A Push For Promotion

Last updated : 30 July 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City Development Officer Steve Waggott has said that City need to make a push for promotion this season.

Waggott told the Coventry Telegraph's Alan Poole: “Everybody involved has the idea of getting Coventry back to Coventry but it’s got to be done on a fair and reasonable basis.

"We’ve got to make sure that when we come back it’s for the benefit of the football club in the longer term and the devil is always in the detail.

“I’ve got a watching brief on what happens but my main remit is the football department, making sure that everybody is on message with where we need to be in terms of making a push for promotion this year.

"The optimism comes a little bit from the fact that we’re starting on nought points instead of minus-ten which, psychologically, was like minus-30.

“We’ve spent money on all our pitches – the training ground, the Higgs Centre – we’ve had a complete renovation of every pitch there – and we’ve also spent a lot of money at Sixfields to make it, according to the groundsman, the best surface it’s been for a very long time.

“If we are going to be playing our fixtures there – and I’ve got no reason to believe we’re not – we’ve got to make sure the surface is ideal for our type of football which I think is also what Chris Wilder wants.

“That’s all we can do. If things change they change, and we’ll see where we end up after that.”
