This is our special series: “What If?”

In these episodes, we dig into the biggest sliding doors moments in Sky Blues history. The near-misses. The great escapes. The transfers that didn’t happen. The goals that changed everything — or almost didn’t.

What if Robbie Keane had stayed?

What if Adi Viveash never left?

What if we hadn’t survived that day at White Hart Lane in ‘97?

These are the moments that shaped our club — or could have broken it.

Let’s rewind. Rethink. Reimagine.

This is All Things Sky Blue: What If.

In today's episdoe we look back at what would happened if Eric Black had been kept on as Coventry City manager rather than being replaced by Peter Reid.

This episode of All Things Sky Blue is brought to you in proud partnership with The Anecdote Bar, the Sky Blue Tavern, Dhillons Brewery, and Coventry City Ladies FC.
