Stern back in Coventry soon

Coventry City Football Club Official Site

Stern John will report for pre-season training on July 17 following the team's trip to the United States.  The striker has been given an extension to the normal close-season break after competing for Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cup.
John, who originally reported for the Soca Warriors on May 1, was never due to travel to the States so he could spend some time with his family.
"I had a call from Stern today and although he is a little bit disappointed that Trinidad did not progress, he's looking forward to coming back to Coventry and preparing for the new season," said Manager Micky Adams.
"Whereas the majority of players have had five or six weeks to spend with their family, Stern has only had a few days so we think it's only fitting that he reports back when the team returns from the States."

I hear talk that Stern is the next Captain of T&T- Did not know the man is only 29. So I guess he will be  available for 2010.

STERN: COVENTRY KNOWS WHERE I AM

Stern John has responded to reports that he could feel the wrath of Coventry City boss Micky Adams for failing to report back for preseason training.
 
Reports out of Coventry have stated that Adams is furious over not knowing of John’s whereabouts even after the T&T marksman was given extended leave following T&T’s appearance in Germany .

“Stern played in the World Cup and I have not had any contact from him since," said Adams.

Asked if he was disappointed with the lack of communication, he added: "I don't want to comment on that, let's just say I have had no contact from him. We weren't sure when he was coming back and I would have thought he would have rung me up to find out when he needed to report back. He is contracted to Coventry City so yes, he's part of the plans."

John will miss the club’s preseason trip to America and Adams is also  on the verge of signing a new striker.

John however is not troubled by Adams sentiments as he prepares to see out a final year on contract with the Championship Division side although there have been

“I’m not sure what all the fuss is about because the clubs knows very well my whereabouts,” John told TTFF Media on Tuesday. “I tried to reach the manager but without any luck and I was in touch with the assistant Adrian Heath and we spoke about my plans especially after the World Cup. I realize though that the manager is trying to sign a new striker and that’s good for us as a team. Competition is always good. Right now I’m trying to get my legs up for a bit and then get focused again on the new season,” John said. (Shaun Fuentes, July 4, 2006)

JOHN GETS EXTENDED BREAK

Coventry striker Stern John has been granted an extended break after his World Cup exploits with Trinidad and Tobago.

The 29-year-old will not join the rest of the squad as they jet off for a summer tour of America on Wednesday, instead John will report for pre-season training on July 17 when the team returns.

John played in all three of the Soca Warriors' games in Germany and Sky Blues boss Micky Adams believes his player deserves to spend some valuable time with those close to him.

"I had a call from Stern and although he is a little bit disappointed that Trinidad did not progress, he's looking forward to coming back to Coventry and preparing for the new season," Adams told the club's official website.

"Whereas the majority of players have had five or six weeks to spend with their family, Stern has only had a few days so we think it's only fitting that he reports back when the team returns from the States."
