Clough plays down exit talk
Derby manager Nigel Clough denied rumours he had resigned or been sacked after the 2-0 home defeat to Leicester.
First-half strikes from Ayegbeni Yakubu and Andy King left the Rams languishing in 17th place in the table, without a win in six league games.
"There are a lot of rumours around at the moment. I haven't resigned and I haven't spoken to anybody but the players and the good gentlemen from the media in the past 35 or 40 minutes so if it has been done I haven't been told about it," said Clough.
"We are trying, (to bring players in), we have been close for a few weeks, there have been one or two times when we have been promised players and it's not quite materialised.
"We will keep trying, it's not a financial issue at the moment, there is money there to bring players in it's just getting clubs to agree to it.
"We think we can survive, we've got enough in the dressing room and we are not done yet, we will let you know when we are rather than the rumours."
