Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has played down recent rumours suggesting that his job at Eastlands is on the line.
Citizens owner Thaksin Shinawatra has spoken of his dissatisfaction at the way the Blues' season has petered out, sparking talk that Luiz Felipe Scolari was being lined up to take over in the summer.
However, Eriksson told the Manchester Evening News: "These kinds of stories do not annoy me. When you live in football you also live with rumours.
"I have a contract for two more seasons and that is it. I am here to complete what I started.
"I can understand people not being happy with the second half of the season.
"I have not been happy with it either, but after winning at Sunderland I hope we are back now and everything should be on track."
Shinawatra had commented earlier in the week: "There are no plans at the moment. We will have to evaluate at the end of the season.
"I'm not happy with the performance of the club in the second half of the season. We will look at it at the end of the season and assess the club and the people involved."
