Hodgson - No Bullard Bids

Last updated : 21 August 2008 By Sam
The Fulham boss has revealed that, despite rumours that Sunderland, Blackburn and most recently Bolton are keen on signing the 29-year-old midfielder, only Wigan Athletic had expressed an interest and that was about five weeks ago.

"Neither myself nor (managing director) Alistair Mackintosh have recently been contacted by any club regarding Jimmy Bullard," Hodgson has said.

"The only club I know that have made any contact, at least with myself, was Wigan maybe five weeks ago.

"I find it strange that Jimmy is being linked with moves in the press when no clubs are making offers for him.

"It bothers me what's going on behind the scenes here, because certainly we aren't receiving any bids.

"Jimmy has told me he's happy to get his head down and stay, so I don't understand what's going on."
