Show Notes

Coventry City are back in the Premier League after a 25-year absence.

What were the principal factors that propelled the club’s return to football’s Promised Land? And how do they stay there?

City owner Doug King breaks off from the much-deserved festivities around Coventry to join Christian and Henry and discuss the club’s remarkable odyssey, his experiences as a football owner and the plan for what comes next.

He also shares his thoughts on the football pyramid and the need for a financial deal between the PL and EFL to be done sooner rather than later.
