Lee Clark staying at Huddersfield as Leicester close in on Roy Keane
Job to do: Lee Clark is staying at Huddersfield[LNB]Lee Clark has dismissed reports he is set to leave Huddersfield for the vacant manager's post at Leicester - leaving the door open for Roy Keane. [LNB]Clark and Keane were among the bookies' favourites for the Foxes job since Sven Goran Eriksson was sacked last week.[LNB]Clark has been attracting attention since leading Town, unbeaten in 16 League One games, to second in the table. [LNB]But he will not be succeeding Swede Eriksson at the King Power Stadium. [LNB]He said: 'We have woken up to anotherround of media speculation this morning regarding me and it is now escalating on a daily basis. [LNB]'I have tried not to comment on it upuntil this point as that is all it has been - speculation. I didn't want to give any substance to it. For me, it has been a case of businessas usual this week. [LNB]'However, the speculation hasn't goneaway and I apologise to anyone if not commenting on this earlier has caused any issues for the supporters. Regardless, now is the time that Iwant to put these rumours to an end. [LNB]'Obviously on a personal level it is satisfying to be linked to jobs at clubs in a higher division, but that is all I take from these links. Players get linked to other clubs when they are doing well and you have to take it as a compliment in that sense. [LNB] Gone: Sven Goran Eriksson was shown the door at Leicester City[LNB]'As I have also said, I believe theserumours are a compliment to Huddersfield Town too and we should take itas a positive that our success is catching the attention of people in the game outside of our area. [LNB]'However, I want to reiterate that I am 100 per cent committed to the Owner, the fans and the players at Huddersfield Town and I am totally focused on continuing this magnificent start to the season and getting this Club promoted. [LNB]'I am not interested in the Leicester vacancy.'
