Paul Heckingbottom says speculation about his future as Sheffield United manager is fair if annoying, but he does not want a public vote of confidence to try to calm it.
Last Friday there were reports Heckingbottom would lose his job at the weekend if the Blades were beaten at Arsenal. Despite a bruising 5-0 reverse, this was not the case and barring something very unexpected he will lead them at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
' The success Heckingbottom has enjoyed at Bramall Lane has come by ignoring distractions and this is no different. 'It has to be,' he said, when asked if it was business as usual. 'I have sat here lots of times and tried not to shirk any questions, whether about selling the club or a transfer embargo or selling players, and I’m trying not to shirk this, but I am the last person to be speaking to you about it. What I can say is what I am saying now.
