DOYLE ON HIS WAY OUT

Midfielder Michael Doyle will leave Coventry in the summer after blasting them for ''sweeping under the carpet'' a training ground bust-up that left him needing false teeth.

Doyle was involved in an incident with skipper Robert Page which left the Welshman's hand in a cast and knocked three of the Irishman's teeth out, but neither player has been punished.

Sky Blues have now agreed to sell £500,000 Doyle at the end of the season, with Sheffield United, Birmingham, Leicester and Norwich all showing an interest.

Doyle said: '' The club have not dealt with the problem. They didn't back me and that is very hard to accept.''

No links, just noticed it in the Daily Mirror

Fact is, any player rumoured to leave WILL be linked with us.

Sheffield United, Birmingham City, Leicester City and Norwich City are all believed to be keen on want-away Coventry ace Michael Doyle.

The Irish international has made up his mind to leave the Ricoh Arena in the summer after being disillusioned with the club in the aftermath of the training ground bust-up with skipper Robert Page.

The 25-year-old has made his peace with Page, who, he revealed, has apologised, but feels a sense of injustice about Coventry's handling of the situation - and could now go for a fee of £500,000 in the summer.

"They didn't back me and it is very hard to accept that," said Doyle, who signed a new contact extension last year.

"I didn't want anyone sacked, I didn't want the police involved or anything like that but at the same time I don't think it's right that it just gets brushed under the carpet or for the club to hope that everyone forgets about it.

He is OK but thats just about it.

As for the incident itself there have been rumours for years of punch-ups and all sorts on the training ground between players of the same club. My fav clip was big fat John Hartson booting Eyal Berkovic in the head for whatver daft reason when both were at West Ham. Check it out
