Sky Blues owner King on being 'hands on'

Coventry City chairman Doug King has said he thinks he is likely "too hands on" when it comes to his involvement with the Championship club.

King secured full ownership of the Sky Blues after buying out previous owners Sisu in January 2023.

"I'm very hands on, it's a big deal," King told BBC Radio 4.

"It's really important for the community, it's obviously a huge financial undertaking as well. It matters a lot. It changes everybody's feeling about the area if we get something right - and obviously if we get it wrong.

"I'm very aware of that and that's why I take a lot interest in it and am probably way too hands on, but that's how I'm going to be."

The atmosphere around the club has been particularly positive of late; Frank Lampard's side are a point clear at the top of the table and possess a goal difference (+20) that is higher than any other Championship team's 'goals for' tally.

"We've had a really good start so that's got everybody dreaming," King added.

"We haven't had a good start for a while so it's good to have one. We've just got to keep on doing what we are doing."
