ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 have gone behind the scenes at the only unbeaten side left this season in the top 5 tiers of English football.

Our very own Coventry City riding the crest of a wave at the moment, they're top of the championship, which is their highest league position for 24 years. Half a century on from the days of Jimmy Hill and almost 40 years since they won the FA Cup, are the good times finally coming back to Coventry?

If they are, they've certainly been a long time coming, after falling out of the Premier League in 2001, years of turmoil at the club followed, including more relegations, they dropped to the 4th tier at one point, and were even forced to play away from their home ground for a period due to a dispute with the local council. The former England midfielder Frank Lampard is now at the helm as manager, having replaced the long serving Mark Robins back in November 2024.

So after all the uncertainly, are The Sky Blues back on the up.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Reporter Mike Williams has been along to the club.
