Championship side Coventry have failed in a loan bid for Wolves striker Sam Vokes according to his manager Mick McCarthy. The Sky Blues were in talks with their Midlands rivals over a loan deal but the deal fell through after the Championship side stopped negotiations. The youngster is highly rated at Molineux but Wolves were prepared to let him leave to get valuable first team experience.
Coventry were unhappy with some of the terms of the loan deal. Wolves wanted a 24 hour recall clause in the contract and wouldn’t allow him to play in the FA Cup. The Sky Blues decided to call off the deal with their strikeforce of Leon Best and Clinton Morrison already hitting 12 goals between them.
McCarthey told the Express & Star: “The option for him to go to Coventry may well have gone, because it hasn’t been done,”
“It was set up to be done but they didn’t do it, so we’ll see because there are a few clubs that want him.
“More than likely a loan will happen, but not just yet because he’s gone away with Wales. There’s nothing going to happen for a while.
“Where he goes, I don’t know, but it’s been a shame for Sam.”
