Fulham have told McAllister that former Celtic, Monaco and Everton man Collins is not allowed to leave at the moment. So Gary McAllister's bid to sign former Scotland teammate John Collins has ended in failure.
McAllister said: "I made an enquiry to Fulham about John but was told by the club that's he's not available at this time."
The Sky Blues boss had identified the Fulham veteran - frozen out by Cottagers boss Jean Tigana - as the man to provide a creative spark in City's midfield.
Collins' only taste of Premiership action with the struggling Londoners this season has been in the form of two substitute appearances.
Collins turned down a move to Coventry's promotion rivals Nottingham Forest last month.
