Chris Coleman - Coventry Managers View

CHRIS Coleman rarely disappoints when the media are sniffing around for an eyecatching quote to dress up their midweek match reports.
But the Coventry City boss - fresh from collecting his £1,000 'improper conduct' fine - was atypically coy on Tuesday night when he was invited to comment on referee Amy Fearn's ground-breaking stint as a Ricoh Arena substitute.

"I've just had my backside slapped by the FA so I'm saying nothing," laughed the Welshman after 34-year-old Fearn had replaced the hobbling Tony Bates in the 70th minute to become the first woman to take charge of a Football League match.

His body language told the tale, however, and if we were to put words into his mouth (a practice that's not exactly unprecedented in modern journalism) one suspects it would run along the lines of 'she did a hell of a lot better than the bloke she replaced.'
