“After spending 11 years in the Championship, they were relegated to League One and fell into …”
MISLEADING
The claim states Coventry spent 11 years in the Championship before being relegated to League One. One web search mentions spending 11 years in the Championship and being relegated to League One in 2013. However, other sources mention relegation to League Two (2016–17) and the club currently competing in the Championship, suggesting the timeline provided is incomplete or inaccurate regarding the subsequent movements.

SINGLE SOURCE
