Tony Mowbray has hinted that he may stay on as manager of Coventry City if certain things are put in place by the club's owners.
Mowbray has a contract until the end of the season and will then negotiate a new deal but wants a number of things in place including the Sky Blues in League One before he will sign.
Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Mowbray said: “My personality is not to hold people to ransom or put guns to people’s heads – I’m not that type of guy – but I feel if we are going to have a chance we have to have those things in place because they are part of any successful football club. I’m not just talking about the scouting department.
“Hopefully people understand that it doesn’t happen if you don’t put things in place. I hope so.
"It never guarantees things, of course, but you hope to get better players and a better team, win more football matches, find more consistency and that will propel us up near the top end of this league and hopefully out into the next league.
“There are lots of factors involved; who’s coming down, for instance? Are Wigan? Who’s going up and who’s going to be left? Will it be MK Dons, Swindon or Preston?
"So next year is going to be tough as well but you have to give yourself a chance to compete at the top end of the table.”
