West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan insists their late January signings are proof of the new regime's support of manager Gianfranco Zola.

Mark Hughes continues to be linked with Zola's job, but Sullivan insists he and David Gold are fully behind the Italian.

He told whufc.com: "As our transfer activity showed, we have supported Gianfranco in the right way. He is a good man and manager and we have backed his faith in his squad and his ideas."
