HOPKIN’S SURVIVAL KITTY OK

DAVID Hopkin has been promised transfer funds as he attempts to drag struggling Bradford away from relegation danger.

Hopkin lost seven of his first nine League One games since being appointed head coach in September, leaving the Bantams at the wrong end of the table.

Joint owner Stefan Rupp says City plan to back Hopkin during the transfer window.

“If our position does not improve then David will be backed in January and there will be money to spend,” said Rupp.

“He will get complete support in terms of the players he wishes to bring to the club.”
