I’m sorry :Reason Why I will Leave Coventry City FC Today says key player….
Mark Robins insists he’s ‘not giving up’ trying to keep Callum O’Hare at Coventry City while confirming the departures of the club’s two other out of contract players, Liam Kelly and Simon Moore.
O’Hare and Kelly were both given warm ovations from the fans who sung their songs from the terraces when taken off in the second half of the 2-1 CBS Arena defeat to QPR as the Sky Blues brought a disappointing end to their 2023/24 campaign.
And the City manager paid tribute to the outgoing players. Confirming 34-year-old Kelly’s departure after seven years at the club, Robins said: “The biggest thing for me is the fact that Kels will leave now. I have just spoken in the dressing room and I think he’s had a really fitting send off. He’s played some games at the end of the season and I think he’d have been really disappointed if he hadn’t.
He’s the epitome of everything that’s good about the club. He’s come and helped us drag it by the scruff of the neck to within a penalty kick of the Premier League and he’s been part of that journey, so fair play to him. He’s a credit to the club, to himself and his family and I he deserves all the plaudits that he gets and has got. And he’ll be missed, it’s as simple as that.”
