Coventry City is sickened and saddened following the racist messages sent to Fankaty Dabo on social media following Saturday’s Play-Off Final.
The messages sent by some individuals to Fankaty are abhorrent. We are clear that there is no place for racism in our society and that the Club and our partners will provide all of support to Fanky that he needs.
The Club will work with the PFA, EFL and the Police regarding this matter, and will seek to ban and prosecute any person found to have sent racist messages.
Many Sky Blues supporters sent supportive messages to Fanky following the game and we thank them for doing so.
Owner and Executive Chairman Doug King:
“The messages sent to Fankaty were disgusting and there is no place for any person who sent such vile abuse at any of our games, and social media is not a hiding place to make these comments.
“The Club and our partners will support Fankaty, and we will not hesitate in taking action against those people found to have done this.
“Coventry is a tolerant and multi-cultural city that we are proud to represent, and there is no place any form of racism or discrimination in person or on social media.”
