Mowbray - Nothing At The Moment

Last updated : 17 June 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that there is nothing doing regarding the signing of players at the moment.

With many in the football world away on holiday, things are usually quiet in June and speaking about this, the City boss said: "I have to say nothing has fallen into place at this moment. It’s a question of waiting. I said to Veno yesterday that we have to be patient.

“I went through it last year when Mark wasn’t here and sometimes you have to go through pre-season with a really young team, play your young players and wait for the right ones.

“Whether they are loan players or players who have options, you have to respect that and give them time which is what we’re doing really. We’re trying to move things along but it is what it is. We haven’t got anything over the line yet.

“As Mark has said, there are plenty of irons in the fire that we’re just waiting on.

“I’m hoping it all drops in and I understand that if we get one it could have a snowball effect. If people see we have signed a couple of players, and good players, they’ll be thinking we have got a chance.

“Veno gets a bit anxious but I never worry about it. I’m confident things will come together.

“You have to remember that we are in League One and we have to understand that good players – the ones we’re looking at from the Championship – ideally they want to stay there and earn the money.

“But they understand Coventry is a club that has ambitions to get out of this division and if we can we’ll be a pretty big club.

“Their advisors will be telling them that they can sign for certain teams but Coventry is a good option because if Coventry get promoted they will be coming past a lot of those other teams because there’s potential for 20,000 fans.

“They are the decisions they have to make and I understand that and that’s why I am not pushing overly hard.”
