Coventry president Peter Rossborough admits the rugby club's focus is turning to the Championship's relegation play-offs.

The club was docked 15 points for entering administration and are currently in the bottom four.

Rossborough told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "There's no way we're going to get out of the play-offs.

"We've got to compile a gameplan and construct a team that will take us forward and enable us to win those."

Coventry lost 27-16 at home to leaders Bristol on Saturday, leaving them 29 points adrift of safety with just five matches to go.

The bottom four teams will play each other home and away at the end of the regular season with the bottom club from the play-off pool relegated.

Rossborough added: "I want to survive and we're going to do everything we possibly can to survive.

"It's not going to be the end of the world if we don't.

"We can go down and we can come back up again - at least we'd still be alive which is better than it could have been two months ago."
