MD urges caution

Coventry City managing director Paul Fletcher is trying to keep a rein on his optimism as the new season draws closer.

The Sky Blues have signed a number of new players to add to the bulk of the squad that finished eighth last season, and there are plenty of encouraging noises coming out of the camp during pre-season.

Fletcher though told the Evening Telegraph: ‘We have started to assemble a team which looks like it might be knocking on the door of the play-offs and yet, we have to keep drawing ourselves back a little bit and remember that it is a three-year plan.’
