Genuinely, it doesn't affect me," said Howe to reporters.
I'm here. I'm sat in the seat. My future will be defined by what I do, no one else.
It's up to me to continually prove (myself). I back myself and my ability. I know my qualities.
I know what I bring to the job and I have ambitions for the team and the club. I can't control what people write and what speculation there is. I don't try to get involved in it."
