Platt says no pressure on City boss

Coventry City forward Clive Platt has said that there is no pressure on manager Andy Thorn.

On a day when another Championship manager in Simon Grayson at Leeds United lost his job, Platt said that there were no signs of any internal pressure on the City boss.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Platt said: "There has been no indications of the manager coming under pressure internally at the club, so he is being given the opportunity to salvage the season and everyone is confident of doing so.

"Most of the concerns and shouts from the fans have been aimed at the owners at the club really because the fans believe that there is no money coming in and subsequently no new signings either.

"The sale of other players and stuff doesn't seem to be filtering back into the team, which is frustrating because we've had no new faces this year despite some of the lads from last season moving elsewhere.

"It has put a hell of a lot pressure on the young lads' shoulders because they are coming through and have been expected to perform on a regular basis.

"They've done really well though, but hopefully the manager can get some funds to work with and strengthen the squad ahead of a tough second-half of the season."
