McSheffrey has Sky Blue thinking

Gary McSheffrey has revealed he wants to stay at Coventry and help the club earn promotion back to the npower Championship next season.

Speculation has already started as to which members of City's squad will be plucked from the Ricoh Arena by rival clubs following their relegation to League One, with McSheffrey's name among them. But the Coventry-born forward insists he wants to stay with the Sky Blues and hopes the rest of his team-mates will as well. "Of course I see my future here," the 29-year-old told the club's official website. "I signed a new contract back in November and this is where I want to be. I want to be part of the team which gets this club back. "It isn't ideal at this stage of my career that we are going into the league we are in, but that is the situation and we have to turn it around. If we get a few more players in to help us out and keep most of the squad here then we will have a more than decent chance of coming back up." And manager Andy Thorn insists the players he has already targeted want to join Coventry, adding: "The players that I want at this club want to come here, which is good and important. Of course we are under a transfer embargo at the minute but as soon as we come out of that we can restructure and get bodies in."
