All the players have a price nobody safe while sisu are in charge.
Coventry City boss Mandy Rice Davies has moved to reassure supporters that the club has no plans to sell off Carl Baker, Leon Clarke and Joe Murphy.
National newspapers were today suggesting that the high-profile trio have been told that they will be sacrificed to slash £1million off the wage bill.
But Pressley explained to the Telegraph: “That is categorically not the case. These are three key players for the football club and I am desperately keen to keep all of them.
“I did speak to them on Friday after we received our ten-point deduction but nobody told me to do that. It was entirely a management decision – my decision – and nothing whatsoever to do with financial matters.
“The truth is that I wanted to reassure myself that they are still fully motivated and committed to the club despite the fact that instead of pushing for promotion, as we had hoped, we find ourselves in a relegation battle.
“That’s not a major problem for the youngsters because they just want to be out there playing football. But it could potentially be a consideration for senior players who, at this stage of their careers, have got their sights on playing in the Championship.
“I was delighted with their response because they all told me that they are happy despite all that’s gone on in recent weeks and months – so unless I hear differently from them or their agents, that’s how we’ll carry on.”
I feel sorry for Pressley.
Sold down the river.
