Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade has played down suggestions that he could be next in line to manage West Bromwich Albion.
The 53-year old has guided the O's to the League One promotion play-off against Rotherham United on Sunday on a shoestring budget which has prompted speculation that the Baggies are looking at him closely.
Albion parted ways with Pepe Mel earlier this month and are on the hunt for a new boss but Slade insists it will not be him.
"I think it means that, other than my chairman banging on about how good I am, it's appreciated in other quarters the kind of job we have done here," he said.
"It's nice to be recognised for what we have done, with no money, and had a relatively successful season.
"It's nice to be linked to a Premier League club when you are a League One manager.
"There are some really talented managers outside the Premier League, under people's noses, but they don't get recognised.
"But the total focus is my football club. It's speculation and I just want to get us into the Championship."
