Moldovan regrets Sky Blues spell

Moldovan spent six months at Highfield Road, and bemoans a disastrous spell that affected the marksman's confidence ahead of the 1998 World Cup.

"There was not a single day's pleasure at Coventry," said the 29-year-old Romanian. "It was the lowest point of my career.

"But English football may suit me better now. United are world class - and I will put everything into our two matches."

Moldovan scored twice in 14 appearances for The Sky Blues - although he was utilised only as a substitute in half of those games.

Signed for £3.25 million, the marksman was offloaded to Fenerbahce for a £750,00 profit in the summer of 1998.

Meanwhile Coventry are confident that they can halve a 'misleading' £60 million deficit by the end of May.

"[The £60 million debt] did not take into account any debtors," insisted new chairman Mike McGinnity.

"With changes achieved since the last financial year-end, and by working to a new business plan, the directors are confident the debt on May 31 will be around £30 million net.

"We are heading in the right direction and the £30 million does not involve selling first-team players."
