Coventry City’s £1.2 million risk appears to have been a wise move.
With their season now on the rise, Coventry City is just three points outside of the Championship play-off spots.
Coventry City has improved from their dismal start to the season, when they were victorious in just one of their first eight Championship games.
After going on a seven-game unbeaten streak, they are currently just three points out of the play-off positions in eighth place in the Championship.
It seemed as though manager Mark Robins had shaken off any play-off hangover. The previous season, his team lost the play-off final against Luton Town on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and as a result, they were not promoted to the Premier League.
As a result, with both of Coventry’s players from the previous season leaving, it became an extremely busy summer for Robins and the recruitment team. Viktor Gyokeres, a powerful striker, went for Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon for a fee of £20 million, while Gustavo Hamer, an energetic midfielder, left for Premier League newcomers Sheffield United for £15 million.
