Coventry City shareholder Leonard Brody considers a voting system regarding substitutions to bring in revenue.

Coventry City shareholder Leonard Brody has put forward the notion of a voting system that would give supporters control of the substitutions during a match.

The process would involve fans sending texts to choose who they think manager Andy Thorn should bring on and take off the field.

"Let's be the most progressive club in the country in connecting its fans to the game with a representative on the board and an impact on in-game decisions," The Mirror quotes Brody as saying.

"How do you engage them more in the game and get their input in the process, and at the same time derive revenue in a way we were never able to before.

"Those plans to do that are still very much in play and it starts, first and foremost, by having some fan representation on the board looking at how you connect the fans to the game but at the same time not cheapening and making it some sort of three-ringed circus. I believe in the sport and entertainment world - period - not just football."

Brody resigned from the Championship's board this week but remains as a shareholder of the club's parent company, Blue Sport and Leisure Limited.
