Clarets chief coy over Laws future

urnley chairman Barry Kilby is remaining coy over the future of Brian Laws ahead of planned talks with the Clarets manager this summer. Sunday's 4-0 home defeat to Liverpool made sure of Burnley's return to the Championship after just one season in the top flight.Laws, whose record of 14 defeats in 17 matches hardly guarantees him a future at Turf Moor, confidently announced in his post-match press conference that he would be at the club next season.Kilby did not speak with such certainty but he is confident the Clarets will be able to bounce back to the Premier League."We'll sit down with Brian in the summer. He didn't have a great hand when he arrived, and we'll see where we go from there," said the chairman."Obviously, after getting to the Premier League after 33 years, it hurts a little bit that we've gone down after just a year."We were determined that if we did go down we would go down strong, that's what we've tried to do."We will have another crack and try to get back into the Premier League."Kilby said sensible planning meant there were no serious financial implications for the club - unlike their two fellow relegation victims Portsmouth and Hull - and that would give them a good base on which to build their plans for promotion again."West Brom have been a good model for us," he told BBC Sport."You can't bet the ranch on these things, and if we can get back up we will be stronger for it."We intend to be back and we'll have a good chance. We are free of debt, have a good wage bill and will give it a good crack."
