"They're a very proud club, Coventry. I had a fantastic four years. I really enjoyed my time at Coventry. It was such a proud record of staying in the top division for all those years. When I left, just watching it was pretty heartbreaking. Watching them lose their ground and all this stuff and having to go and play at other grounds."
"To see it so close to getting back, they've got a nice little gap there. Obviously, they had a massive gap and then they started stumbling a wee bit. I've not seen them live for a bit, watched a couple of games on the TV and they've got some good players. I think they're now looking like automatic, barring disaster."
"I thought it was a big, brave decision with Frank. Mark Robins did an amazing job at the club. Wherever he goes, he does a good job. The chairman, Doug King, made a big, big decision to bring Frank in and I just hope they reap the rewards. They're sitting in a great position."
Gary McAllister, a former Coventry player who made over 100 appearances before joining Liverpool in 2000, expresses optimism about Coventry City's promotion prospects for the 2025-26 season under new manager Frank Lampard. McAllister reflects on his pride in the club's historical stability in the top division and acknowledges the heartbreak of watching their decline, including periods playing away from their home ground. He assesses the current squad as strong with good players and believes automatic promotion is likely barring disaster. While acknowledging competition from Middlesbrough, Ipswich, Millwall, Hull, and Wrexham, McAllister views Lampard's appointment as a brave decision by chairman Doug King and hopes the club achieves its goal of returning to the Premier League.
