Sky Sports report that Sunderland strenuously deny newspaper claims that they are considering the position of boss Steve Bruce. It had been claimed that after their defeat to Chelsea at the weekend, club owner Ellis Short was seriously considering making a change.
A newspaper report stated that the Black Cats were looking at Bruce's position, but the club have told Sky Sports News this is far from the truth.
Sources have said that there is 'no question about the manager's future' and the club wanted to emphasise that this was in no way a 'vote of confidence' but just a dismissal of the claim.
