This Article is terribly written, and reads like a kids story rather than a biography. No-one needs to know how coventry city fans 'felt'. Please, someone sort this out.

• I have rewritten this article as a biography and less like a fanzine, taking out anecdotes and opinions --Aleaf.biz 21:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean without adding other opinions? I see a masive opinion has been added. Can we just leave this page alone please.

All of this information is useless: McSheffrey himself initially said that he was uninterested in the speculation, but evidently, weeks of unsettling speculation, and repeated bidding by Birmingham, was ultimately turned and informed the Coventry board that he wanted the move (not for the first time in Coventry's history that a homegrown talent has been sold to Midlands rivals), and so this, combined with unrelentent bidding by Steve Bruce (despite being told McSheffrey was not for sale), forced the Coventry board, albeit reluctantly, to give in and sell-although Bruce did not win himself many friends for the tactics he employed in bullying Coventry into selling their star asset, a tactic he has employed in buying other teams' players.

How is that not an opinion?

• I agree this another opinion and has no place in an encyclopedia --Aleaf.biz 22:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
