" It's pure speculation isn't it because nobody has got the job. He's given them eight or nine years of very, very good service. He's still got contacts there, he's still a very, very popular player there and a person there who, even when he went to Leeds kept all his contacts there. He lives in and around the area so it's only natural that, given the amount of service and games and his popularity that he's always going to come into it. They have obviously seen that he has come into first-team football from youth-team football.
" He's a vitally important member of our staff, I believe that he is very, very happy in what he is doing, how he is being treated and how he is going about his job so it's pure speculation. It's always nice, we might be doing something right if somebody else is coming in. You have to put up with this, if the scenario comes where he wants to go - then he goes doesn't he and I'll get somebody else. That is not undermining the job Greg is doing though, I want him to stay here of course and I'll have to deal with that if it happens.
" As I say, he's very, very happy with what he is doing here, he is a major part of the work that we have been doing working in tandem with myself. We've got a little bit of success but it hasn't finished yet because we've still got eleven games to go. Let's see where it takes us but speculation never stops with staff and speculation never stops with players so you have to deal with it day in and day out. "
