3. The Dark Years

Coventry City

Available for over a year

An era defined by uncertainty, financial trouble and a growing sense of helplessness as the Sky Blues began to lose its way. Off the pitch, the takeover by SISU promised stability, but instead ushered in years of instability and mistrust. On the pitch, through a revolving door of leadership the Sky Blues slipped down into League One. Fans staged boycotts, demonstrations, and public campaigns. Then came unthinkable: Coventry City FC would leave the city. Presenter: Richard Williams. Sounds Producer: Chloee French. Online Producer: Matt Mitchell. Executive Producer: Siobhán Harrison.
