We Have Some Money For Players - Mowbray

Last updated : 03 November 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that he has some money in his budget available for players.

“We have got some saved at the minute, and that’s why Mark is very good at managing the football budget,” Mowbray said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner.

“He’s telling me at the moment that we have got money to get someone. My concern is moving forward.

"Injuries are part and parcel of football and if the squad got so stretched I wouldn’t want to put untried young footballers into a team that’s doing well. I’d rather go and get some experience to keep it ticking along.

“But, generally, experienced footballers cost money. Clubs aren’t charities and if a player earns X it’s very difficult to go to those clubs and say can we take him for X divided by ten of his salary.

“It’s a fine balance because sometimes you want to go and make a decent offer for a player to come in and help keep things going.”
