Davies rejects sack rumour

Derby County boss Billy Davies has brushed off reports suggesting he has two games to save his job.
The Rams are currently two points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table after wining just one game since sealing promotion to the top-flight via the play-offs last season.
Davies' future has been the subject of media speculation following Adam Pearson's recent appointment as chairman at Pride Park.
But the former Motherwell and Preston North End manager has laughed off suggestions he could be in line for the sack before the end of the month.
"You take media reports with a pinch of salt," he told the club's official website.
"That's modern football for you. You just have to look at the England manager situation to see the lack of respect being shown to a guy who is doing a very good job and has a great opportunity to put this country into Euro 2008.
"We know the situation. We know we have a two-game window and that there are mischief-makers out there speculating but you get on with your job.
"I said weeks and weeks ago that the one thing I would not be doing with the introduction of a new chairman was looking over my shoulder because I'm very comfortable, very confident and very capable of managing in the Premier League with the right resources and the right support."
