Newell denies Foxes claim

Mike Newell today denied that he is to join Leicester in the summer. He was not surprised by the press stories, since Luton are playing Leicester this weekend.

He said: ‘It’s no surprise that it’s resurfaced this week in the build-up to the game – that’s what you expect of the newspapers.

‘There’s nothing I need or have to say on that matter – I’ve said everything a couple of weeks ago.

‘Nothing’s changed – why should it change? Because you pick up a newspaper or people ring you to tell you that you’ve been linked with Leicester again? I’ve got nothing to say on the matter.’

Nice one Mike!
