Hull City boss Steve Bruce has hailed the club's board over their summer market work.
Bruce could be forgiven a sigh of relief over his deadline day dealings after suffering the departure of Shane Long and a long-term injury to new signing Robert Snodgrass on the opening day of the season.
And the Tigers boss paid tribute to those at that club who helped facilitate what he described as a day of "fantastic business".
Bruce said: "When we were having discussions about the sale of Shane Long a few weeks ago, they said it wasn't a problem to reinvest the money we received.
"They've proved that again with what we've been able to do in this transfer window. Now it's up to me to make sure that the players gel together and get us up and running."
