Coventry City faithful may make their feelings felt against Sheffield United in November: View
It’s safe to say that Callum O’Hare’s departure from Coventry City won’t have sat well with a large swathe of Sky Blues fans this summer.
Despite being offered a new deal by Mark Robins’ side, with playmaker decided against extending his stay with City past June, and promptly called time on his five-year association with the club.
His time in the Midlands saw plenty of happy memories made, with promotion from League One in the 2019/20 campaign followed up with a Championship playoff final, as well as an FA Cup semi-final appearance in the previous campaign.
But after the curtain was pulled down on his time with Cov, O’Hare has gone to sign for Championship rivals Sheffield United on a free transfer, in a move that might well have wrangled a fair few of the City faithful.
Callum O’Hare, Sheffield United move may not sit well with Coventry City fans
While there will be plenty of fans who will be eager to give the creative midfielder a warm welcome when O’Hare returns to the club with the Blades later in the season, there will be some that will feel a little hard done by due to the latest events.
With plenty of rumours circulating around the 27-year-old’s future this summer, it seemed like a move to the Premier League was on the cards for the former Aston Villa man, with Southampton and among the clubs said to be tracking him during the off-season.
Maybe it was a case of the top flight clubs deciding against a move, or maybe it was O’Hare’s preference, but to move to a Championship rival will only irk Coventry fans, with United likely to be battling against the Sky Blues in the battle for the promotion spots.
So to lose one of their key players to a promotion rival won’t sit well with those at the Coventry Building Society Arena, especially with the way it panned out meaning that the club didn’t even receive a transfer fee for one of their prized assets.
What will make matters even worse when Chris Wilder’s side come to town on the 23rd November, is the fact that it could possibly be not one former Cov fan favourite in the starting lineup that day, with Gustavo Hamer [pictured] also current a Bladesman.
