Jamie Carragher call on Coventry city board to back lampard
Jamie Carragher has called on Coventry City’s board and fans to throw their full support behind the club’s current manager, insisting that the man in charge “really needs backing” if the Sky Blues are to make a serious push for Premier League promotion next season.
Speaking during a recent analysis segment, the former Liverpool defender made it clear that Coventry’s ambitions for the 2026/27 season hinge heavily on how much support the manager receives — particularly in the transfer market.
“This man really needs support to back his summer deal,” Carragher said. “Because he genuinely wants to take Coventry to the Premier League next season. You can see it in the way he’s building this squad — there’s a plan.”
Coventry have already been active in the summer window, bringing in a number of fresh faces as they aim to go one better after narrowly missing out in previous campaigns. But Carragher believes further investment — and trust in the manager’s vision — is vital if the club is to finally return to the top flight.
Fans have responded positively to the club’s early transfer moves, but with the Championship growing more competitive every season, Carragher’s warning will resonate with those who know how thin the margins can be.
As pre-season continues and the Sky Blues prepare for another gruelling campaign, all eyes are now on the boardroom to see if Carragher’s words spark real action — and whether Coventry can finally break through into the Premier League in 2027.
