CT: Tony Mowbray’s first task once he’s signed on the dotted line is to find two 20-goal-a-season strikers to fire Coventry City out of League One.
The 51-year-old is set to commit himself to a long-term contract after receiving assurances from owner Joy Seppala that he will be given the mandate to finally drive the Sky Blues to success.
And to do that Mowbray knows he needs to get goals back in the team – a vital ingredient that has been missing since Callum Wilson was sold to Bournemouth last summer.
“I sat and watched Callum on the TV recently and Callum Wilson in this team, with the domination of the ball we have, we’d just keep scoring goals,” said the former West Brom, Celtic and Middlesbrough boss who revealed he drew up a wanted list of targets before he’d even started his contract talks.
“But we have to look, we have to find and have people on the ground watching to find the player to score goals for us. So if this club wants to be at the top end of the table next year it needs to have 20-goal-a season strikers – two of them!”
