Touch of sadness as Joe moves on again

I’m sure everybody will wish Joe Cole all the best in his decision to ply his trade at Coventry City.

Joe has decided to move down to League One and has excited the Sky Blues fans more than any signing the club has made in years.

The club are currently sitting in fifth place with a game in hand on those above them and three points behind leaders Walsall.

I’m sure Coley will have a massive impact but personally as, like most, a fan since he first burst onto the scene at our place, it’s a move tinged with a touch of sadness.

At 33, and with something of an injury history, it’s brilliant that he still wants to play but I always find it sad to see a great player slipping down the divisions.

Having said that, if he can help take a fine old club – which has had more than it’s share of woes in recent years back to the Championship it will be a fine swan song.
