Huddersfield boss Lee Clark insists he has received no approach whatsoever from Fulham regarding the vacant manager's job at Craven Cottage.[LNB] Clark, 37, spent six years as a player at Fulham from 1999 to 2005 and the Londoners are reportedly keen on sounding him out as a potential replacement for Roy Hodgson, who joined Liverpool last week.[LNB]Clark told the club's official website: "I've spoken to Dean Hoyle, the chairman, and he has had no contact from Fulham. Our chief executive Nigel Clibbens has had no contact from Fulham and I have had no contact from Fulham.[LNB]"Most of the time I don't comment on speculation, but there's been absolutely no contact from Fulham and I don't want people to become unsettled."[LNB]Clark, in his first managerial post at Huddersfield where he replaced Stan Ternent in December 2008, added: "We've had a terrific first week of pre-season since the players came back on June 28 and we're all currently at our pre-season training camp. I'm completely focused on getting things ready for the new season with Huddersfield Town.[LNB]"I've been in the process of strengthening the squad all summer and I'm really pleased with the signings we've made so far; hopefully there might be a couple more ahead of the start of the season. I don't want anything to detract from what is a massive season for our club - and it won't."
