  ... Guppy to leave for Coventry!!! (30/06/01)  
 

It looks like one of City's most talked about players is finally going to be leaving Filbert Street if press reports from the BBC are to be believed.

At the age of 32 and after a season where he was left in limbo for some time, it looks like Steve Guppy has finally decided to call time on his Leicester career and move on to pastures new.

Unfortunately it will come as a sad blow to many City fans that the place he should choose to move to is rivals Coventry.

The move comes as no surprise to people who have been following the is he, isn't he saga of Steve Guppy for the last season but it is disturbing how quickly it appears that this has all come about.

Earlier on this afternoon it was being rumoured whether he would play any part in City's squad that played Quorn tonight. But silently it appears that Gordon Strachan was secretly negotiating a £600,000 deal for the winger.

Coventry chairman Bryan Richardson told the club's official website: "We will have talks and are confident of completing the move depending on a medical."

Guppy has felt out of place in City's squad since Martin O'Neill left last season and after a very well documented spat with new boss Peter Taylor, where he was given 6 games to get back into the first team, it appeared that his City career was all but over.

Ever the fighter though Guppy managed to force his way back into the team but it looks like this was just not enough for the plucky winger.

If Guppy passes his medical then he could be in the Coventry squad as earlier as Tuesday night when the play in Cardiff.

Is this the right thing to do or should we tell them to piss off? Tell us in the Fans Forum.
