The Phoenix

The home of longform Coventry City reporting.

Big Ron on how the Sky Blues can survive this season and also a reminder of how he rocked up at Anfield to help stave off relegation early into Gordon Strachan's tenure - after a phone call from John Motson. #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

I spoke to Big Ron recently for a big feature coming to the site. While I had him, I asked for his thoughts on whether the Sky Blues could stay up this season. You can see what he said now over on The Phoenix. https://t.co/ehRVSEIXb4

@atsbmark @mickquinn1089 Think we'll get more than 50 seconds on MOTD this year if Haji bags a hat-trick?!

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

On the opening day of the 93/94 season, we beat Arsenal 3-0. @mickquinn1089 scored a hat-trick. We were rewarded with 50 seconds on that night's Match of the Day. Here's every glorious second. #pusb https://t.co/58tgnghwY5

The tale of Nii Lamptey. A cult name but one with a heartbreaking back story. Childhood abuse, the curse of Pele, financial mismanagement, a career over before it got into full flow. And he played for Villa. Read the tragic tale now on The Phoenix. #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Just a quick update on all things The Phoenix. Also an example of when you wish you'd written down what you were going to say before pressing record. #pusb #NotReadyForMyCloseUp

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

When you've got a 1,000 word feature ready to go but you're waiting to post it to time alongside the signing of a player that you believe will sign for Coventry, but hasn't yet (no, it's not Rushworth). #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

@DrummerLoin @TheSkyBlueHub I hope you know that I said that out loud in an attempted Roy Walker voice as I typed it.

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Currently working on a piece about players who played for Cov in different eras. We have one such player who would have shared a dressing room with both Tommy Hutchison and Darren Huckerby. Any guesses on our mystery man? #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

We have a waiting list for season tickets. Bloody hell, this club has come such a long way in the last decade.

[Coventry City @Coventry_City]

Supporters can now join the waiting list for Season Tickets from the 2027/28 season.

More information below. ⬇️

@DrummerLoin @TheSkyBlueHub It's good but it's not the one. Although the player I'm thinking of is two years younger than Oggy.

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

As part of my desire to keep subscribers at the heart of The Phoenix, there will be a regular feature in which ex players/managers are interviewed through subscriber questions. I have the first of these lined up. Subscribers will be emailed shortly on how to get involved. #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Cov kit and Crocs? It's a bold move but one I reckon @rudi_rudoni could pull off. #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

@TheSkyBlueHub Amazing isn't it that more than 30 years on we can still speak in this way about a player who made 7 league appearances for us and went on to have a decent but not spectacular career. The power of football and the danger of loans!

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

@PeteRedhead3 Ooo, that's an excellent shout - but the player I'm thinking of did both with Cov.

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Hard at work on The Phoenix features for the next few days. Writing up:

A heartfelt interview with Marko Marosi
A massive Cyrille Regis tribute
More Phoenix finances
Interviews with @mickquinn1089, Micky Gynn, Big Ron and more. #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Front cover of @FourFourTwo? We are so back (You'll also find my interview with @giorgiking10 in there as well) #pusb

[The Phoenix @ThePhoenixPUSB]

Phoenix Finances is a regular feature delving into Cov's financial history. The first feature focuses on 1992. It's the dawn of the Premier League and we're gambling to be apart of the new league - with 93% of turnover spent on wages.
