Ranson has revealed his lack of faith in Iain Dowie's 'old-fashioned' methods led to the former manager's sacking.Dowie and members of his backroom staff were relieved of their duties with the Sky Blues sitting in 19th place in the Coca-Cola Championship, just four points above the relegation zone.
Ranson: "In the transfer window, we spent over £1million securing the services of two of the best young players outside the Premiership in Scott Dann and Danny Fox. During this time, I spoke with Iain Dowie on a regular basis on all aspects relating to football matters.
"As is sometimes the case, we did not share the same ideals for the club and I felt that to move Coventry City forward towards a more progressive and modern way of operating, I would need a different style of first-team management here.
"I have set no timescales to deliver the right manager or coach, but rest assured that I will be exploring every opportunity to ensure Coventry City can progress and deliver stability both on the pitch as well as off it."
