The mighty Peter Reid - the reverse midas touch when it comes to managing football clubs: Sunderland, Leeds and now Coventry all counting the cost

Peter Reid has left Coventry by mutual consent, it was announced this morning in a press statement from the club.
The Sky Blues have been in freefall lately, failing to win a single game over the crucial Christmas period, and are hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.
The Coventry chairman said in the statement "Following a board meeting yesterday, the decision has been taken to relieve Peter Reid of his duties as manager of Coventry City football club. We are grateful for the efforts put in over recent months by Peter and his team, but given the position we find ourselves in on the pitch, feel that we have no choice but to regretfully part company before the situation becomes irretrievable. We would like to thank Peter, and his assistants Cheetah, Coco and the Tetley chimps, for all their hard work over the course of 2004".
Reid is believed to have received a pay-off in the region of 200,000 Ecuadorian bananas following the termination of his contract. He was unavailable for comment this afternoon, but is believed to be staying with friends and picking ticks off his arse in the mountains of Rwanda. A statement read out by Reid's agent read "ooh ooh eeh eeh aah ooh ooh", followed by a comedy facial expression.
