Watford boss Brendan Rodgers is bemused by reports suggesting he could quit the club only two weeks after being confirmed as Aidy Boothroyd's successor.

The former Chelsea reserve-team manager is yet to sign a contract with the Hornets and the club is in a state of flux following Graham Simpson's decision to resign from the board of directors.

The 35-year-old Rodgers told the Daily Mail: "This issue has come up because of speculation about my contract, which I haven't yet signed, and not because of anything derogatory.

"I'm relaxed about it and I've got the support of the people at Watford but there were a couple of things I needed to make right for myself and my family and I wasn't going to sign until they were.

"I'm hopeful it will be finalised soon because I'm ambitious."
