Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray is hoping that Burton Albion and Walsall losing their manager's this week is to the Sky Blues gain.
Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph:“First of all you have to congratulate them because they deserve their opportunities but, with total respect to the two clubs, I sit here hoping this might disrupt their fluency.
“You never know how these things will work out – Burton suffered no problems at all from Gary Rowett to Jimmy and it could be that the same will happen when they bring in somebody else.
“But there’s always the potential for disruption when you get a new manager with different ideas, who perhaps doesn’t like this or that player he’s inherited.
“Walsall, too, are a very good football team and that will be the case whoever they bring in. But their old manager was there for a long time, building things up, so they have some adjustments to make – and who knows what might happen, especially if he decides he’d like to take some of their players in January?
“I don’t bear Walsall or Burton any ill will but, of course, I’d like to think that they might lose a bit of their momentum over the next few weeks because that can only be good for us.”
