Sullivan hits back at “no funding” reports

David Sullivan has hit back at reports the club he will not be bringing in more players this month “due to funding not being available.”

In an official statement to the club website he said: “I have been made aware of reports suggesting that there will be no more players joining the Club this month due to funding not being available. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“The manager David Moyes has the Board’s full backing in this window and, together, we continue to work night and day to bring in players to add quality and depth to the squad, despite January being a difficult time to do business.

“We are undefeated in our last five Premier League matches and are working round the clock with the manager to do all we can to ensure this run of good form continues.”
