Doug King and Frank Lampard bring Coventry City direction, hope and eventually a home.

Doug King’s takeover brings change quickly: the departure of Mark Robins and hiring of Frank Lampard followed by the stadium purchase of the Ricoh, now the CBS Arena, putting it back into Coventry City FC's control.

Lampard ushers in a bold new era. With an attacking identity and fearless approach, Coventry City serge to the top of the Championship tables and stay there.

For fans, what comes next is a blur of celebration: packed stands, electric atmospheres and a city rediscovering its voice. Helped by indie rock band The Enemy's track, 'We'll Live and Die in These Towns'.

Promotion to the Premier League isn't just a footballing achievement, it’s a statement. After everything, Coventry City fans can finally say: "We're back where we belong".
