Last updated : 30 March 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City will have to let their better players go in order to help the Sky Blues cash crisis.

The club have staved off administration thanks to an £8m cash injection from SISU which was received by the club at 10.30am on Monday morning, but still need £4-5m to see out the rest of the season and Mr Dulieu has said that some players may be allowed to leave at the end of the season in order to ease the financial burden.

Speaking about Keiren Westwood who is out of contract on July 1st to Sky Sports, Mr Dulieu said: "On the playing side, Keiren is a quality, quality player and I think if someone comes in from the Premiership, which I expect they will, then it will be tough for Coventry to hold onto someone of that calibre.

Mr Dulieu also told the press conference that City would not be buying Ronaldo.

As we understand it rightly or wrongly, the following City players are out of contract on July 1st: Keiren Westwood, Danny Ireland, Michael Quirke, Nathan Cameron, Stephen O'Halloran, Isaac Osborne, Aaron Einar Gunnarsson, Michael McIndoe, Lee Carsley, Shaun Jeffers, Callum Wilson, Clive Platt and Marlon King.
