Money If Mowbray Needs It

Last updated : 21 January 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus have some extra cash in their budget if they need to bring in players before the transfer budget closes.

“It’s got to the point that if we think we need a player they are not saying ‘no’, the City boss told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner.

“We have never stamped our feet and the owners have never said ‘you can’t have this and can’t have that'.

“I hope they can see we are doing everything within the budget if we can.

“We were at a stage a week or ten days ago where there was an option, potentially, of getting two or three real players that might have given us a push on but for different reasons they have fallen away a little bit.

“But it was just to ask the question, ‘if we are at budget now, are we able to do anything or have we got to go with the same group?’

"And they have come back to Mark Venus and said that if the right player is there for the right price let's do it, which is good for us.

“We haven’t done anything about that at the moment. I am not the sort to think that if there’s more available let’s go and spend it, so we might not spend it. We might save it for a rainy day.

“Let’s wait and see but it’s pleasing to think that if there was a player who we thought could improve us that the option is there for us.”
