AIDY Boothroyd has emerged as the latest candidate on Coventry

City’s shortlist of potential new managers.

The 39-year-old is understood to have been given permission by his

club Colchester United to speak to the Sky Blues and was at the Ricoh

Arena this afternoon for talks.

Take

part in the Telegraph''s Sky Blues'' fans season survey here....

The former Watford boss has been the subject of a major gamble

today, with Sky Bet cutting his odds from 10-1 to 1-4 to succeed Chris

Coleman, who was sacked following the 4-0 home defeat to the Hornets on

the last day of the season.

Coventry City held talks with Notts County manager Steve Cotterill

earlier this week as chairman Ray Ranson worked through his shortlist of

candidates.

Sky Bet’s football betting spokeswoman Helen Jacob said: "This

substantial gamble has come out of the blue given that Boothroyd does

not seem to have been linked with Coventry, so we are keenly watching

out for news emanating from the Ricoh Arena.

This would be so funny, if true.

You wonder what "Condtions" Gobbie Cowling will have attached to his "permission to talk." It''s a bit early this time to try to include "the costs of their pre-season tour and all the players signed by the manager" within his compensation claim!

Regardless of what happens, Cowling will make capital out of this, and at our expense...if, IF, Bothroyd leaves and goes to Coventry, expect a press release from him along the lines of...

"...it was a pleasure dealing with Coventry City and their Chairman who have dealt with this matter in a thoroughly professional manner at all times, unlike the Chairman and board of another club...bla bla bla..."

He''ll use this situation to rub our noses in it again, should the opportunity arise.

Note to Norwich, this is how you appoint a manager, Aidy is now speaking to them AFTER compensation has been agreed. We''ll get compensation for Lambert''s replacement before Lambert himself FFS!

Cheers for that! As I was growing up I was always told it is ok to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and don''t repeat them so a gold star for Mr Howling for learning from HIS mistake last time round!

Note to Col Who. You''re such a tin pot little outfit that even a mediocre hoofer of a manager can''t wait to get out of Dodge. Who will you go for next, has the physio got his badges?

what''s happened to the Norwich case then..?

they may as well kill 2 birds with one stone and take Coventry to court the same time

save them money on legal fees.
