Defender Damien Delaney has dismissed the claim of a bust-up having taken place between himself and manager Roy Keane, saying the only fight on his mind is one to win back his place in the Blues line-up. Delaney has been out of the Town 18 since returning from his suspension after his red card at Norwich.
The Irish international defender told the official Town site: "I know the club issued a statement dismissing the story and I want to support that. I don't know where the story has come from but it's total rubbish. It's completely untrue.
"The only fight I'm having at the moment is to get back in the team. I need to show the manager that I should be starting games for this football club and the only way I'm going to do that is to keep my head down and work hard on the training pitch and wait for my chance."
Last month, Keane rebutted claims of a bust-up with striker Connor Wickham, claiming the only spat he had had with the young striker was on the go-kart track: "Unless he’s upset about the go-karting, it’s rubbish. I don’t have bust-ups, I’ve told you before.”
