Finances led to Celtic exit - Fox

01 February 2010 15:42
Burnley full-back Danny Fox believes the men who control the purse strings at Celtic were behind his move to Turf Moor. Fox, who is hoping to make his debut on Saturday against West Ham, says he has nothing but respect for manager Tony Mowbray after half a season with the club. He has become part of a new-look Burnley squad with boss Brian Laws re-signing striker David Nugent on loan while Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork has also sealed a similar deal. Fox said: "I was called into the Scotland squad so I could not have been doing too bad. I also played in the Champions League, which I enjoyed. "I think with the way Scottish football is going at the moment, financial reasons and stuff like that, Celtic were maybe offered a lot more money than they paid for me. "It was an opportunity I couldn't really turn down myself. Players from all over the world want to come and play in the Premier League."
