Burnley chairman Kilby denies Laws sack reports

Burnley chairman Barry Kilby has rubbished reports he is planning to axe manager Brian Laws.

Laws was brought in to replace Owen Coyle, who moved to Bolton, on January 13, but the club have since dropped into the relegation zone and a report on Wednesday suggested the Clarets were already looking to make a change.

However, Kilby said: "We are not in the process of looking for a replacement for Brian and everyone involved with Burnley is putting every ounce of effort into staying in the Premier League."
