It has been revealed that struggling City boss Peter Taylor turned down a coaching job in the summer with another Premiership side that would have allowed him to continue his involvement with England. Although it was not revealed exactly where the job it is thought that he was offered the then vacant Middlesborough or West Ham job.

Whether or not that will turn out to be a bad decision remains to be seen as Taylor struggles to improve on the current form of his struggling City side.

With just about every newspaper in Britain along with most City fans asking how long Taylor will be given before he gets the push, City's under fire manager decided to tell some of those newspapers just exactly what was going on.

He started by saying, :"I've heard the speculation but I'm still manager of Leicester.

"I'm going to work my socks off and so are the players. I'm in a positive frame of mind despite the two bad results."

"I will still be in charge for the home game against Ipswich a week on Saturday.

"I am the manager of Leicester City.

"That's me, Peter Taylor, not one of these other names that are being bandied about at the moment." Taylor insisted.

He also tried to dismiss rumours of dressing room bust ups with players by saying, "There are also suggestions that I have lost the confidence of our dressing room.

"That is not true, either.

"I continue to believe I can bring further success to Leicester but obviously I need the chance and a little bit of time to be able to do so."

Does this prove that Taylor is loyal to the blue and white? Or should we sack him anyway? Tell us your views in the Fans Forum.
