Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has urged the City support not to blame James Maddison for being sold to Norwich City.
Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph: “James never ever asked to leave this football club. This isn’t James Maddison just wanting to better himself, this is a very talented boy with lots of interested clubs in him. It’s just what happens in football.
“Without preaching to the fans, which supporter wouldn’t go and play in the Premier League if they had the opportunity from League One; to go and test their talent and ability and test themselves as human beings.
“We all want to watch the Premier League full of world class players and televised in front of the nation – who wouldn’t want to be part of that?
“So fans shouldn’t blame James, or think he’s being disloyal, because he loves this football club and was adamant he remained here for the rest of the season so he can help us achieve our ambitions.
“He’s just a young kid who loves to play footy and this is an opportunity to go and test himself.”
