Civil war continues to rage at Coventry City after Gordon Strachan admits that his family no longer come to watch the club play because of the abuse he gets from fans.

His comments follow angry criticism of the players by club chairman Bryan Richardson.

Fans barracked Strachan following Saturday’s defeat at home to Everton calling him for to go after another terrible performance by the Sly Blues.

The boss admits that it was the worst his team had played in his four years in control – an admission he has made several times this season as Coventry have slipped to second-bottom in the premiership.

And he as revealed that his family no longer come to watch Coventry at Highfield Road because of the abuse.

Strachan said:

"It is a horrible thing in life to be embarrassed by what you do for a living, but I was against Everton at the weekend.

"My family don't come to the games any more. My wife felt better when I was a player because at least I was on the field and could do something about it when things were going wrong. I don't think she feels great when I am isolated out there."
