Kilby and board back beleaguered Burnley boss
Burnley have issued a statement to categorically deny a national newspaper report that has suggested they are seeking a replacement for Brian Laws.
Since succeeding Owen Coyle in the Turf Moor dugout Laws has overseen just one win from ten games, a situation which has led to talk he is already under pressure.
The Sun reported on Wednesday morning that Clarets chairman Barry Kilby is ready to act now, in a bid to stem a run of form that has them drop into the relegation zone.
However, such claims have now been angrily rebuffed by the club in a statement that brands the report 'ludicrous, irresponsible, damaging and inaccurate'.
Laws signed a two-and-a-half year deal upon his appointment and Kilby insists the club remain fully behind their manager.
Kilby said, via an official club statement: "This is a ludicrous, irresponsible, damaging and inaccurate piece of journalism.
"We are not in the process of looking for a replacement for Brian and everyone involved with Burnley Football Club is putting every ounce of effort into staying in the Premier League."
