We Have No Intention Of Selling Youngsters - Pressley

Last updated : 28 November 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has said that he has no intention of selling the younger players.

People have started to question how long the likes of Ryan Haynes and James Maddison will be at the club but Pressley said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner:  "We have put a huge emphasis on our young players and in order for us to be successful we have to keep them, and I know that.

“Certainly the ones who are in the team at this moment in time we have no intentions of selling them and we’re under no pressure to sell them at all. And they have to be part of the team moving forward.

“But as a team and a club, we’ve also got a responsibility that if we want to keep them we’ve got to progress so that our very best young players – in order for us to retain them – we will have to move through the leagues.

“So we have a responsibility as well, but we have no intention of selling the young ones in the team just now.

“I have got no doubts that over the next couple of years we’ll receive good offers on certain players but we’ve got to resist those offers and build a really good Coventry side.”
