However, in the meantime, assistant boss Tim Flowers admits hopes of strengthening will be hit unless the proposed takeover goes through soon. </p>

&quot;At the moment there is no budget so we can't pay for anyone,&quot; Flowers told the Coventry Evening Telegraph. </p>

&quot;All we can do is sit and wait to see what happens, which is frustrating. We have got 17 players at the moment so we clearly need to get some bodies on the ground. </p>

&quot;The goalkeeper, Dimi Konstantopoulos, is the only one we have got through the door.&quot; </p>

Wales international Nardiello has been offered new terms at Oakwell but the Wales international is currently mulling over his options.</p></span></td></tr></tbody></table>

 

If it back fires on him - now that will be a laugh..... nt
