Massive thanks to AlexTHFC for the banner! :)



My name is Mohammed Ibrahim Hawk or simply "Mo Hawk". Born and raised in Coventry, I grew up to support my local team Coventry City. I always wanted to be a footballer, but due to my South Asian heritage my family gave me no option but to choose education over sports... So, I went to Coventry University, got a degree, got a job and lived happily ever after.

Of course not, snap back to reality... there were no jobs available in the field that I'd studied for. I wasted valuable time and money at university, only to be chewed on and spat out by life.

Obviously the time for playing football was long gone, I was 22, unemployed and lived in a small flat by myself. My parents sent me money for maintenance, but they stressed that I must find a job, that I must do something with my life. What they didn't know was that I had other ambitions. "Like what?" I hear you say. UEFA Coaching badges of course! I wasn't going to let go of my passion, that was the only thing I had at that time... Did I get them? Fuck yeah I did.

Fast forward three years, I now have all the necessary coaching badges to manage a football team anywhere in the world. What's a better place to start than applying for a coaching job at Coventry City FC? The manager recently got the sack, the club is in a dire state, and what's going on in the boardroom? It's every man for himself. The club are facing a 10-point deduction and are in League 1... I have nothing, literally nothing to lose -- and neither does Coventry City FC.
Fuck yeah you did :P
Hawk-eye? wut

Coventry City appoint caretaker manager...


Coventry City FC have parted ways with Steven Pressley and have appointed caretaker manager Mohammed Hawk on a one year contract. Pressley had been in charge since March 2013 but following a disagreement with the board over wages, he was soon axed from the club.

This is Mo Hawk's first venture into management having obtained his coaching badges earlier this year, he looks set to take the club by storm. Coventry City sit at the bottom of League 1 with no games played, thanks to a 10 point deduction over the Ricoh Arena, and home games will be played at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium until the 1st of July, 2016.

"I'm very happy to be here at Coventry, it is a club I have supported ever since I grew out of my nappies and my dream was to play for this club. Obviously, things didn't go as I'd hoped but I'm the "glass is half-full" type of guy, I'm optimistic. I didn't let that pressurise me, I didn't feel down but instead I looked up. I have a lot to prove to the board, whom I have to thank for giving me this oppurtunity, and to the fans themselves. I appreciate they were looking forward to a big-name manager taking charge of this club but I promise them I will do everything I can to bring Coventry back to where they belong."

The Englishman -- who has Pakistani heritage from his father's side -- will turn 26 on Boxing Day 2013 has no experience in football and has already received heated backlash from some fans as he arrived at the club.
Why did they hire him...? Haha, good luck :)
Good luck, great start :D
