The 2010-11 campaign was a season of significant turbulence and ultimately successful survival for Coventry City, as the Sky Blues weathered a tumultuous year that included changes in both the manager's office and the boardroom to secure an 18th-place finish in the Championship. Leading the charge was the newly-signed veteran striker Marlon King, whose 12 crucial league goals proved vital in the battle to avoid the drop. King's influence was recognized by the fans, who voted him the Fans' Player of the Season and Top Scorer, in a year that also saw young Lukas Jutkiewicz named Young Player of the Season. It was a nervy campaign defined by the drama of managerial upheaval and the sheer grit required to maintain their second-tier status.
