Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe has responded after his West Brom counterpart Steve Bruce told the Lilywhites to "put their money where their mouth is".
Baggies' chief Bruce made the comments earlier this week following reports linking Albion striker Callum Robinson with a move to Deepdale. North End boss Lowe had previously made positive sounds about the possibility of the Republic of Ireland international returning to Lancashire, where he has spent three separate spells earlier in his career.
But Bruce insisted nothing concrete had come the Baggies ' way and bullishly said: "I keep hearing the rumblings but there is nothing to really report on it. They (Preston) can make as much noise as they want but what they have got to do is put their money where their mouth is."
