Last updated : 22 December 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Andy Thorn has said that he is hopeful that he can have an affect on things in January when the transfer window re-opens.

Thorn has already met with City's MD Tim Fisher and told the Press Association: "I've been able to have an opinion and to voice what I think and one of the things that keeps me going is getting the green light so that I can affect things in January and I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to see that I haven't been able to since I've been in.

"I haven't been able to affect too many things apart from prepare a team for a game and making sure we get the maximum out of the team, I haven't really been able to do anything else. I would be nice now I've had a chat that I can try and affect things and put my stamp on it.

"I feel confident I've been able to say what I needed to and I think that's been long overdue. Obviously I know the (financial) situation at the club but if people go (in January) then at least I feel now I'm able to wheel and deal and I'm pleased about that because it's what's needed.

"I've seen enough people going through the door and I just feel I can do something. Even if we lose people then I can replace them and bring extra bodies in and have a go because at the moment I've been sat on my hands not being able to do anything. Now I feel 'Come on, let's do something'. I feel positive."
