City boss dismisses rift rumours
Jones was last week quoted as saying "I don't want to lose the three (players) I have asked for. Does the chairman have the courage to go for it?", while also stressing the club have to stop selling their best players at some stage as rumours persist over the futures of Joe Ledley and Ross McCormack.
But Jones insists he is not on a minor collision course with Ridsdale, who has said players need to move on to balance the books before others can be signed.
"There's no rift with me and the chairman which was put out, there's nothing like that," Jones told BBC Sport. "There's no problem. I know the parameters that I have to work with at this football club.
"I've said many times we don't want to lose our best players but sometimes due to circumstances that has to happen. Am I happy about it? Of course I'm not, nobody in the football club is but I know that's the way we have to work.
"There are three players that I feel that if we get can will make us a lot stronger. We might have to lose one or two out the squad to get the three in. But I haven't said anything different to what I've been saying since the day I walked in this football club."
