David Sullivan has revealed that Ravel Morrison remains part of the club's long term vision - even if manager Sam Allardyce may not necessarily agree.
Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror claimed earlier this week that Allardyce did not see a future at the club for the attacking midfielder, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers.However Sullivan, speaking on Talksport last night insisted that Morrison was very much in his plans - as is central defender Winston Reid, who recently turned down a new contract offer.
"I think Sam said in a press conference that Ravel's not part of his plans - but we as a board do see him as part of our plans," he said. "We don't agree with that, we would like to sit down and give him a longer contract.
"We like him and see him as part of the long-term future of the club but we have to agree it with the manager, because there's no point signing a player who's not going to play.
"I think we will get to a deal with Winston and we're working on it now. We're also trying to negotiate with Ravel," he added.
"So it's up in the air with regards to Winston and Ravel but both are players we like very, very much."
