Oxford United boss Karl Robinson plays down rumours linking him with Blackpool job

Robinson is currently fourth favourite in the bookies' odds and there are suggestions the former MK Dons manager is keen to relocate to the North West.

But the Liverpool-born Oxford chief, speaking after his side's 1-0 win at Ipswich Town today, said rumours linking him with the vacancy come as news to him.

"I don’t know anything about that," he told the Oxford Mail.

"We have to be ambitious, that’s the way it is.

"I’ve done many games. Whatever happens in my career it doesn’t really matter to me, I only care where my players go.

"If something happens and things don’t fit right at a certain place I know there will be other things I can go and do.

"Right now we’re in a really good place and these players have given me everything. I’m so proud.

"The fans who have seen me here celebrating, that’s a man who loves what he’s doing."
