Clark loyal to Huddersfield Town despite Leicester interest

Lee Clark has reiterated his desire to remain as manager of Huddersfield Town despite interest from managerless Championship side Leicester City.

Reports in this morning’s press suggested the Terriers boss was close to joining the Foxes.

But Clark said: “We have woken up to another round of media speculation this morning regarding me and it is now escalating on a daily basis.

“I have tried not to comment on it up until this point as that is all it has been - speculation and I didn’t want to give any substance to it.

“For me it has been a case of business as usual this week.

“However, the speculation hasn’t gone away and I apologise to anyone if not commenting on this earlier has caused any issues for the supporters.

“Now is the time that I want to put these rumours to an end.

“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.

“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 focussed on continuing this magnificent start to the season and getting the club promoted.

“I want to put an end to this speculation - I am not interested in the Leicester vacancy.”
