Cox denies ‘budget halved’ stories
“I have never said anything about the budget being halved in interviews,” he said. “If I am honest, I am sick of people talking about the budget. Whether it is high, low or mediocre, I am just going to get on with my job.
Cox said he was not prepared to reveal his budget, saying: “Only one person can answer that and that is the chairman.

“I won’t tell any lies and the budget is smaller this year than last year, but I will not be disrespectful to the guy who keeps this club running.
“He is the reason I am here and I enjoy working with him. He has told me what I have to spend and he knows I will try to be successful with it.
“It does help to have money. But it’s not the be all and end all and I have managed without it in the past. You just have to work harder with the players you’ve got. This club needs to be as one again and become focused.”
